Trey Lance trade is one of the worst moves Jerry has ever done

[Rockport]

You're really scared Dak is done, aren't you?

Not in the least. I loved Romo, but Dak outplayed him. I’m a Cowboys fan so whomever helps the team I’ll support 100%. I just wish they would’ve done this earlier in the year and not right before the season opener and not tell MM and not tell the OC and not tell anyone. Now it’s blown up all over the media and yahoos like you think he’s going to take Dak’s job. He’s not, at least not in the next 3 years. He’s raw and so far he’s sucked. So all it’s done is create this huge distraction YOUR POST PROOF OF THAT.

I dont think Lance will take Dak's job.
I think Dak has already lost it, and unless he does something great this year he will be benched.
I think everyone can see he's not the guy, and he will start the season but not finish it.

This tells you everything you need to know about this guy.

"dak out-played him"

No...he didn't. Straight up...no.

Dak kept the job because jerry plays Vegas football. "we don't want to interrupt a streak".

And we haven;t won squat so...no...dak hasn't outplayed romo. And in fact ruined a couple playoff games just like romo did.

So, here’s your proof this is a non issue

We’ll see at the end of the year.

What do you expect him to say?

 

[Kwyn]

What do you expect him to say?

Ok. I suppose I’ll believe Rockport over the HC of the team.

Come on dude. I support you through some pretty wacky stuff but you’re off on this one and I can’t figure out the angle.

Is this a Dak thing?

I’m just not used to you crapping on the team out of the blue on such a nothing issue.

Not a Dak thing, a Jerry thing. I’ve explained it several times in different threads.

Ahh. First I’ve seen you turn your gunsights on Jerry.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Here's one other area where I think the move is good. You're not getting Lance to compete with Dak. As Michael Irvin was saying on Undisputed (at least the parts that Mark Holmes was showing), this was about developing him and bringing him in as insurance. If he develops, he becomes a perfect insurance policy for Dak. When your starter goes down, you want a QB who is very similar to what your starter does best. It means the OC doesn't have to change the offense very much. I want Lance to develop. It helps Dak and the team. Obviously, we don't want injuries, but this is football. Injuries do happen. So, it's smart to have a QB that has a similar skillset to Dak. It means, if God forbid Dak has an injury, we can have a player who can do similar things to Dak. In other words, we bought an insurance policy (which is wise given our aging oline) for Dak with a 4th round pick with a lot of upside if he develops.

I have been for years. I just don’t harp on it over and over and over again.

 

[ArtClink]

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.

I’d say dedicating the entire 2008 draft to get all special teams players was pretty dumb too. Also drafting a “cold weather” kicker while keeping a different one for good weather.

Nothing is certain…

But this is going to happen.

Jerry wants a new QB.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Other than 49ers Dak is actually a really good playoff QB....... Record by the way is a team accomplishment not a single player

While I agree with you, some would say the Cowboys outplayed SF in January but Purdy was the better QB over Dak and the reason why they won.

 

[Playmaker3128]

It's irrelevant to me if lance ever plays a down for this team. At the very least hopefully it send dak a message..... This is his most complete team since he's probably been here. Just "winning a playoff game" isn't good enough. We need to go to a championship game at the least.

Dak was one of the main reasons we've lost our last two playoff games. He needs to be better. Now is the time.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Yeah.

So what?

Guys get cut. Guys get replaced by other players acquired by trade/FA. We are talking about a 3rd QB here. Again, if this franchise can't handle Lance's acquisition and it creates some sort of tension, they aren't a real contender.

It’s not about how Grier feels. That doesn’t matter. The 52 guys that make the roster, they may well have an opinion. And they’ll never openly share it. Those 52 guys matter.

Purdy was outclassed by the Cowboys defense. The Cowboys were clearly the better team.
But Dak was so bad it didn't matter. Yes, Purdy outplayed Dak, but that's because Dak played so poorly. Purdy didn't really have that great of a game, either.
It's just that Dak was worse.
And it once again cost the Cowboys and their fans.
Last year's team could have played in the Super Bowl if Cooper Rush had been the quarterback. The Eagles were hurting. They couldn't have beat the Cowboys with a real quarterback.
Dak cost the Cowboys a Super Bowl.

I like the trade. 4th round pick for a 22 year old QB that was picked number 3 overall is a good risk that could pay off.

He has the talent, just needs development. 49ers seem like a bunch of drama between getting office and coaches about taking Lance and just wasn't a good situation.

Here, Lance can sit and develop without any pressure.

As far as QB controversy is concern, I think it's silly. Nobody in their right mind thinks Lance will take Daks spot. It does put pressure on Dak to perform and he seems to play his best when he has competition

Exactly right, how on earth can it be the worst trade ever - when all they did is give up a 4th rounder, LOL. You don't have to go back very far to find a worse trade than that - the Amari Cooper trade was worse easily right off the top of my head. Wow, that didn't take long. Worst trade ever shot down immediately.
Thanks for your post bringing us back to reality and sanity. My God how people overreact on this forum and they don't waste anytime - has the poor guy even gotten off the airplane in Dallas yet, LOL?

Yep, getting a 5th for Cooper was just terrible. Even you look at other top receivers bringing in a first rounder. But let's not forget the Roy Williams trade and all the other receivers that Jerry gave up first rounders for. Plenty of other examples that's much worse than a 4th for a young high potential 23 year old QB
