How can he be a bust when he has barely been in the league and am injury derailed an entire season?

Not every player comes in day 1 and produces at a high level. QB takes time, some more than others.

Sure he can turn out to be a bust but his ceiling is a franchise playmaking QB. He has all the traits, just needs the developing part. Spending a 4th round pick on a QB that just turned 23 with the potential of Lance is a very good choice. If he bust you lost a 4th round pick which odds are you aren't getting a starter with that pick anyways.

It's not like Dallas gave high picks for Lance. Just a 4th rounder

If you can't see that, then I will just respectfully disagree with you.
Welp....you can't disagree with me that I think he won't work out...because that's just my opinion...no more so than I can say ur wrong for having a different opinion.

Either way....whatever will be....will be.

And that’s say a lot. There was absolutely no reason to make this trade at this time in the year for another QB. He’s probably not going to play at all this season. All it does is create QB controversy with the haters who actually believe that he’s better than Dak. And what’s worse, MM had no idea about the trade until it was already done. Dumb move by the ownership. Just horrible timing right before the season opener.
It was the best opportunity we’ve had to take a quarterback with this caliber of potential

I think you're being premature, Jerry is far from done. However, I think a good old fashioned QB controversy should bring out the best in Dak.

By the time this young man is ready to hit the field. Prescott will be retired. This is either about trade bate, or the future. In three years will be 25.

The Cowboys didn't trade for him thinking he would contribute anything this year. Probably not next year either.

He needs developed. Everyone admits that. Lance was drafted for the future.
If he cant replace Dak right now and win a SB then why would we go get him..lol

But there will be fans clamoring to give Lance a chance after the first bad series of the year. Just more distractions the team has to put up with.
No there won't. Because Lance is QB3. He will be for the entire year. Probably next year as well.

Was he a distraction in SF? Nope. No one ever heard a peep about him. Look at all the QB's they have gone thru recently.

There is no controversy with anyone except ignorant fans.

Like I said. I respectfully disagree with you.

I never said I'm right and you're wrong and I have even said multiple times that it's possible it don't work out.

4th rounder is low risk on a QB with that potential. You understand what low risk is

He’s not a legit #2. Hell he couldn’t even win the #3 job in San Fran. Maybe in 3 or 4 years.
No kidding? You misunderstand my post. I was stating that bringing in a true #2 talent at quarterback would promote more competition and they DIDNT do that by bringing in this bum that couldn’t even beat out Darnold

some of these “Dakota First” fans are in such a lather that they can’t even understand when someone is agreeing with them. Hilarious

Get off the ledge, Daks job is safe…….they don’t bring in any truly viable option

I know Dak’s job is safe. That’s not my point. My point is Lance is not a legit #2 anywhere right now. Hopefully, he can develop.

I actually think he makes QB2 by then ...

But he is not developing into anything for the Cowboys. He is not going to play this year. He is not going to play next year. Then he is a free agent. Even if he develops into an average starter in that time he is going to be doing it elsewhere.
Now would you give me next week's winning Powerball numbers?

You are stating this based on what precedence? Dak Prescott has never had to face any threat to his existence in Dallas. In fact the Owner and GM has gone out of his way to coddle him. His entire time in Dallas has been about ensuring that he has never ever felt threatened about his role as a starting QB. So when claims are tossed out that "it should bring out the best in Dak" - there is no proof it will. More importantly he has a fairly proven track record of playing worse when the pressure gets ratcheted up.

Worst ever? It was dumb but not even close. We gave up a 4th rd pick. Way too much for a scrub like Lance but won't cripple our future.

Joey Galloway and Roy Williams trades were god awful and 100x worse than this.
