Trey Lance Was Brought In To Try And Take Dak’s Job

[DallasEast]

“Couple dozen” lol we’ll hit that by next week.

Add up all the the threads that directly or indirectly discuss Lance and not only those displayed on the Fan Zone. Right now. It is a couple dozen. Or more. I have not checked again since I made that original comment.

Dak definitely didn't seem too thrilled about this acquisition.

Well, good. It shouldn't matter why this trade was made.
Dak should work that much harder get better.
It doesn't matter how he feels. He's had it too easy for too long.

The truly sad part here is that even when the FO brings in a Qb that couldn’t even beat out the last guy picked in the draft and Darnold, our fan base, and perhaps our starting Qb and players see it as a message to Dak.

this comment isn’t about the OP…..it’s a commentary on the FOs commitment for not drafting or using FA to get QUALITY players at the backup qb position….much less have ANY competition at it either

This comment isn’t about Dak because they did during the Romo regime and in fact have been doing it since they drafted Quincy Carter…..no premium here on the Qb position AND DT position before they took Mazi

The 49ers understand the concept of sunk costs. Once you've made the initial investment, you can't get it back, so you don't let it influence your future decisions.

He had one good game as a starter against a tanking Houston team. He was bad in his other two starts (not counting the one where he threw 3 passes before getting hurt), not completing over 50% of his passes in either. But that's not enough data to tell us anything one way or another. Asking "is 8 games enough to know if he is going to be good" is begging the question. They only gave him 8 games (really only 4) because they believed, based on what they saw from him every day, that he wasn't good enough to play more.

The possibilities are:
(1) The 49ers assessed that the potential wasn't there, and they were correct in that assessment.
(2) The 49ers assessed that the potential wasn't there, and they were wrong in their assessment.
(3) The 49ers saw potential but didn't think he'd fit their system.
(4) The 49ers saw potential but were willing to sacrifice it because they're in win-now mode and he doesn't fit their short-term plans.

Of these, (1) seems by far the most likely to me. I could sort of see (3) and (4) but I struggle with the decision to keep Darnold over him in those cases.

you know this is not the first time a top 5 QB has been bad. teams over reach for QBs. but because they are such high draft picks, a lot of teams willing to invest small and maybe catch lightning in a bottle. its a lottery ticket. spend $2 maybe you win the lottery, else you are out $2.

so hopefully change of scenary will do him some good. at least I hope so.

Did you post this just get some "likes"?

I clicked like for him

I just saw on First Things First the sound bite Jerry had where he said they really wanted Jalen Hurts. That was shocking and I had never heard it before.

I just don’t get the impression they are sold on Dak so how in the world can they EVER give him an extension.

then Jerry is stupid. you really wanted Hurts? then you should have drafted him over Diggs. if you really like a QB, you take him over CB 8 days a week.

its hard to find quality back up QBs in FA. teams tend to hold on to good ones.

It’s as obvious as can be. This was a message to the unknowing Dak. There is no comfort for you anymore. We wouldn’t resign your BFF and now this. It’s put up or shut season.

This is an out of character move from Jerry. He does not trade draft picks for guys he has no interest in playing. It’s just not the way Jerry has ever done business.

It won’t happen fast and maybe not this year at all, but the purpose of this trade is to put pressure on Dak.

Daks contract is coming up and Jerry trades for a young, raw, 1st rounder QB and that’s supposed to be a coincidence and depth move?

Jerry could’ve signed a veteran like Wentz, Flacco, or waited until cuts, or kept Grier if he was looking for a depth move.

He didn’t even give a heads up to Dak that he was doing this knowing a splash like this will make big news and allowed Dak to be blindsided instead.

The writing is on the wall and it couldn’t be anymore clear.

From what Jerry said in his sideline interview, SF called and Jerry made the deal without even hanging up the phone. He didn't plan it, so there was no "going behind Dak's back", or MM's, or anyone else.

I think Jerry just wanted his future QB ready for when Dak moves on, or as a good backup.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Trick question.

Your sole criteria are championships. Nothing wrong with that but you should just come out and repeat what you have already said are 'skins' for an acceptable quarterback.

he doesn't much understand football and how you put a team together and how it leads to a championship. one of his idiotic statements was hey KC had SMith and they drafted Mahomes, not realizing Mahomes was 2nd QB picked in that draft. his schtick was we need to go get a mahomes. now he thinks Lance is it, so he is all in. his emotions and anger are getting the best of him.

he will disappear after a dallas win. guranteed.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

What’s he got on his wall?

exactly what Marino has on his wall.

and Marino is a loser according to you. in the meantime you are all in for Dilfer.

of course having a crystal ball helps.

but I guess you are all in on Lance. the internet never forgets.

Dak > Hurts

You are having a fun week, aren't you?

It's like Christmas in August.

I don't think so. Lance right now is garbage. He's lucky he beats me out for the starting QB position on the Cowboys.

 

[Ranching]

settle down high school coach. lol

Lol!

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

I like the move, maybe it'll light a fire under Dak's arse...

 

[EGTuna]

Read Bob Sturm’s thorough and objective breakdown of Lance that he posted today, and then it will be obvious Lance is in no position to start anytime soon.

Cooper Rush has not only started and finished more games, he’s been better. Comparing Lance to Dak is insulting right now.

Disagree. It's a worthwhile look-see at this point, nothing more.

Lance is a physically talented player who in a sense, is a developmental 1 read QB.
He has a long way to go before he's ready to be a true NFL starter....but worth the 4th rounder.

Maybe he gets there eventually but he's for sure nowhere near ready.
