With Lance and Rush potentially leaving in the off season, what do we do?

[Joe Realist]

It depends on who is HC here next year. If it’s McCarthy, I could see Will Grier being the backup. I could also see Cooper Rush back on a one year deal, although to me that makes little sense.

I would like to see this team draft and develop a young QB, even if it were a Day 2 pick. The problem there is this is a slim QB class and we don’t know if we will have a HC who is good at developing young QBs.

Draft Will Howard in round 4-5

I'm not sure these two players will be missed much around here, but we have to replace them. You also have a starter in Dak who you don't know will be himself in 2025. What avenue do we go to get backup QB depth. I hope they're seriously considering a vet that can actually throw a pass, and a rookie somewhere in a decent round where the player doesn't need years and years of development. Sitting out behind a starter is key, but if he's that bad then why even pick him up. We honestly need guys that can go in there and help us get wins, not hold us back as if they've never played the position in their football careers. Please give your thoughts

I was going to say celebrate, but then we still have one quarterback that we need to get rid off...

 

[JoeKing]

They're not detractors. They're realists. A (in 2025) 10 yr vet coming off his 2nd season ending major leg injury. A guy who has minimal mobility and a less than desirable playoff resume. A proven big game loser. A guy who will command 25% of the entire salary cap by himself. Wow, what's not to love ? Just because we as fans are "stuck" with him, doesn't mean we have to like it.

Said by a hater.  I'm going to ignore your 2 cents.

DAL has been doing great the last 31 years. Why change now?

 

[StarLord]

We can't seriously competing next year, so it really doesn't matter in my mind. So that being said, a young developmental lottery ticket.

 

[CowboyoWales]

I'm putting 50/50 odds on whether Dak takes the field in 2025. Injuries, family, guaranteed money. He really doesn't need the Dallas Cowboys anymore.

He's still here (with at least a 15% CAP hit) , regardless of whether he plays or not. This is the endless QB discussion (usually proliferated by Dak-Fans), that there arent many elite QB's. My counter would be that you build the team, from the 'lines' up, then you can elevate the lesser non-1st Rd picks ala Dak, Purdy, Hurts.

I believe Lance will get a new deal with us. Jerry loves the kid.

Rush likely leaves for UFA $$$. He’s not as athletic as TLance.

Wil Grier will be available.

If Jerry "loved the kid", he would be pushing MM to get him in games. Jerry said just last week there was no interest in putting Lance in the game. I think even jerry has given up on him. . I'd be shocked if he was offered a contract.

 

[stinkface]

Next years QBs:

Dak
Rush
Will Grier

Book it.

We like our guys, even if they kinda suck.

He's done. He will be playing in the UFL soon. While there he will lead a team to the playoffs and Jerry will resign him for millions. Its the Jerry way.

 

[McKDaddy]

Stephen is already telling you that next year will be much like this year, just worse.

You'll get Dak with less talent around him. Good times .... to laugh at this organization.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Why wouldn't Dak be himself when he returns? He has an injury that is 100% recoverable from. With the best medical treatment available to him, there is no reason to paint his future as in doubt. He will heal and be back. His backup, if Cooper and Lance don't return will be a rookie we draft and develop and will almost never see game action. Dak's new contract kicks in in 2025 so he is the future. Speculations on any other QB playing for the Cowboys is just wishful thinking by Dak's detractors.

umm because he's getting one year older and coming off a bad injury, not saying he's going to be a dud, but he's not getting any younger

His Dad played in the CFL. He may be amenable to playing there, but it’s typically a minimum two season deal. He could get on the field. That’s not happening for him in the NFL.

 

[charron]

90Million dollar QB's do not need backups.

 

[CyberB0b]

It’s not hard to find a backup on this league.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

Celebrate seems to be the appropriate response.

 

[Jimbo123]

I agree. After Lance realizes no team wants to sign him, Jerry will sign him to the practice squad for the league minimum. Rush signs for $3M

yeah right for us to keep sticking with Rush something isn't there lol

 

[DuncanIso]

Who does KMoore want....

Lance or Rush?

That's easy.
