Trey Lance mop up duty?

[CalPolyTechnique]

If we have a meaningless game at the end of the regular (and have clinched a playoff berth), I can totally see a situation where we sit Dak and Lance may get some run.

 

[offlimits]

At what point do we want to see Trey Lance get a little playing time in a blowout? I felt the desire against the Giants. I realize he can’t go in unless one of the top two QBs get hurt. We know exactly what we have in Rush. It would be nice to see what he’s got. Surely he has a decent grasp of the offense by now.

Pre-season next summer

he is the emergency QB. so if Dak is out, maybe Rush gets hurt, then Lance gets in. unless he is promoted to back up duty, which I don't see happening this year.

 

[jazzcat22]

We'll see him plenty pre-season next year. I doubt we keep Rush.

I believe Rush signed a 2 year contract and a decent size. Not sure how it is written. But I don't see them outright releasing him. Until they see Lance in some PS games.

 

[baltcowboy]

I’m not trying to bash Jerry or whatever but I’m still not sure what the plan is for Lance.

I can’t make sense of what the angle is from our end. Maybe one of you smarties can help me get it.

Hedge bet is my best guess, but I really don’t see how it adds up or what the thought process was when parting with a 4th round pick.

The Cowboys traded a 4th round pick for a 23 year old developmental quarterback that they have been looking for the past two drafts. I don’t understand how our fans don’t understand that. Especially with the injuries that the Jets and Minnesota have had this season. You don’t think Dobbs would have been worth a 4th round pick?

The problem is as the emergency QB, if he comes in and got injured you can’t bring the others back. It’s not like you can predict when you are gonna have a blow out

 

[CowboysRule]

A badly traded up for BUST of a 1st round draft pick.

I love you guys here. You expect all players to immediately become All-Pro's. The guy has started all of 4 games due to injuries and yet you are ready to write him off as a bust in only his 3rd year. The guy is like 23 years old and has all the tools to be an NFL QB. We traded for him knowing he will be able to just sit and learn for a year or two. Does that mean he will become a great player? No, of course not. But if he doesn't all we've lost is a 4th round pick on a guy who was thought to be a top QB.

Yeah, I get it. Jamarcus Russell was taken #1 overall but so was Troy Aikman.

 

[cej757]

Jamarcus Russell was a first round QB. So was Ryan Leaf, and Akili Smith. I don't think any of us need to smell Jerry's farts to be a "real fan", but maybe that's just me.

It's okay to admit that every move they make might not be the best. Quincy Carter is just one example.

Quincy Carter wasn't that bad. I would take Quincy over alot of QBs the Cowboys threw out there when Romo would get hurt.

 

[shabazz]

As well as Rush played , his ceiling was very mediocre and if Lances ceiling is higher it would greatly benefit the Cowboys……the problem is some players never realize their potential and Trey could be one of them.

Cooper Rush absolutely reached his full potential but it’s limited.

nope rush needs the work more.. he is the primary backup in new offense with new pieces.... stop asking not happening because we are in a playoff race.

 

[blueblood70]

He can’t go in unless they both get injured. I don’t see a scenario where the team fakes two injuries in a blowout for Trey to get snaps.

This isn’t about us being curious, we aren’t coaches we don’t work for the team. Their plan is to get him into their building and build him up to anywhere from a backup in 2024 to possibly leverage over Dak on his next deal.

He is not going to play unless we have cluster QB injuries. This is something I believe we need to accept. Know the rule and understand that he won’t play unless there’s an emergency.

Hopefully these requests end once we all realize he is the emergency QB. Rush would need to be demoted for him to play.

If you think we go into any game with Rush inactive for Lance then you’re delusional.

Imagine the league catches wind of you faking injuries jst to get 3rd in for fans amusement lmao.

 

[Jarntt]

Next summer. That's been the answer every time this question gets asked.

Only way he is active on game day is if Dak or Cooper are injured.

Exactly. If both are injured during the game, while he is the emergency QB, he will obviously play. If one is inactive for a game because of injury he will be the #2. If it is Dak that is inactive due to injury/illness I wouldn't be surprised to see Lance run some wild cat/run option/two point conversion plays.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Naw, why put him out there and risk him impressing enough to generate trade inquiries right in the middle yacht season?

 

[Scotman]

The Cowboys traded a 4th round pick for a 23 year old developmental quarterback that they have been looking for the past two drafts. I don’t understand how our fans don’t understand that. Especially with the injuries that the Jets and Minnesota have had this season. You don’t think Dobbs would have been worth a 4th round pick?

Exactly. I love the trade. My only issue is the length of his remaining contract. I'd be completely stoked if we had him at least three full years. If we can't resign him reasonably, then he probably wasn't worth a 4th. If we can, it was a GREAT trade.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Pretty sure if the backup QB gets hurt, he is then the 2nd team QB.

It was stupid. There's no reasonable angle.

 

[817Gill]

We'll see other CZers keep asking about it next Sunday if the Cowboys blow out the Panthers.

Haha yeah I’ve been trying to correct them during game threads but these two paragraphs are my last hurrah

I hear you about the contract but Lance has 1st round tools, you’re not getting a player with his ability and age for anything less. It is up to Lance. The kid needs reps. I can only imagine thinking he could be Dobbs right now. Not to jinx it but he will get an opportunity. Just needs to be ready.

Side note about Dobbs the kid started for Tennessee in a win or go home game against Jacksonville last season. The guy has earned his stripes. The funny thing is if he was a high draft choice he would not be getting these opportunities. Lance probably should’ve forced the 49ers to release him.

Not going to see Trey Lance in any games other than a possible week 17 game where Dallas has a playoff seed wrapped up with no ability to gain a playoff seed.

I promise, you don't have to convince me. I am all about a 4th round flyer on a guy who many thought had the skills to be a long-term franchise quarterback. Plus, the dude just started shaving. LOL He's got time and I hope that time is here.
