Would love to see Trey Lance with CeeDee and the starters

[TheMarathonContinues]

Just like Dak….

All Pro Dak that is. I just want Lance to beat out Rush. Then we can worry about bigger tasks.

Now that CeeDee is back, I would love to see Trey Lance get game time with the starting lineup and with CeeDee doing what he does.
It could be awesome!

Maybe next year because unless there is a long term injury to Dak, he’s gonna be the emergency QB

Keep an eye out during timeouts hell bring them water

Do you honestly think he has beat out Rush? If we are in the playoff hunt and Dak has to miss a couple games, who would you want under center? Lance has more raw skills than rush but he’s not near ready and because of circumstances he may never get what he needs to develop

IMO people are overrating the starters aspect and underrating the preseason aspect. If opposing teams start disguising coverages and mixing them up, Lance is going to look a lot worse.

Rush. and there's no comparison. I don't want Lance on the field this year and I don't think the Cowboys do either. Don't kill what little pride or confidence he has by putting him out there before he's ready.

 

[NotForLong]

It would be exactly the same. If he has to look past his first read, he is lost.

He said Lance not Dak

Lance is not an NFL QB.

Yes he is.. just not a very good one at this point.. But he's young and athletic .. so he has time to get better.

 

[RonnieT24]

Just like Dak…. But Dak’s had 9 years to work at it….

7 years actually.. He got hurt one year and he has yet to play year 9.. but don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Myself or anything rational person wouldn't

We don't have another 9 or 10 years to waste on a project.

Ahhh.. good teams keep a developmental QB in the works at all times. The Cowboys have actually been doing it wrong for NOT having one. Even if the starter never misses a game a young talented developmental QB can look awfully sexy to other teams whose starter sucks.. Can you say "draft picks?"

I already watched him fail against players who are going to the UFL and CFL in a few days. The idea that he would look better against better competition is the height of delusion.

It’s basically arguing that a starting NFL QB would struggle if they played in a college football game. The funny part is we KNOW that isn’t true because we saw them all look great when they were WORSE than they are now. Despite that there are still people who would seemingly argue that these players got worse under NFL coaching and training.

And you don't stop, do you?

 

[America's Cowboy]

I'm sure you're enjoying it.

I'm sure you're enjoying it.

If you think it is enjoyment that prompted me in posting that gif, you would be incorrect.

Y'all need to let it go. Lance is not the future here

This is where I am. I really don't understand all the hype of Lance. If you take away his draft position (which was obviously a mistake) nothing in his resume really says he should be afforded as much leeway that he has received to this point.

Remove his draft position and what you have is player who over the course of 8 years (including HS, college and NFL) has thrown a total of 500+ passes at 61% (which is low considering most of this was in HS and college) for 4800 yards - This is barely 1 single season worth of stats.... yet it's over an 8-year period. As entire career stats for someone who has been in the NFL for 3 full years, most fans wouldn't even entertain this type of player as a pet cat, much less than someone to take up a roster spot on the 53. The only reason why I can justify fans adulating over Trance is that 1) he was the overall 3rd pick (so he must be good) and 2) desperate to find the alternative to Dak and are willing to grasp at straws to justify his replacement.

The only thing Trance has to lean on is his 1 year of college stats.

Att CMP CMP% Yds Yds/att TD INT RTG
318 208 65.4 2947 9.3 30 1 125.3

Compare that to Daks senior year and you will see it's not that much different and, Dak played against much better competition (SEC vs Missouri valley Conf)

Att CMP CMP% Yds Yds/att TD INT RTG
477 316 66.2 3793 8.0 29 5 106.3


So why does everybody think that Trance deserves a long leash for development. Even comparing his preseason performance (scrubs against scrubs) he is averaging middle of the pack compared to the other 2nd/3rd string QBs and those that won't be on rosters this year.

That means the other team's starters would be playing! He wouldn't be playing the dock loaders from Home Depot! It would get ugly very quick, and CD would not see the ball very much!

LOL, the guy hasn't taken us where we need to go, but don't be a moron. Dak has been among the league leaders in passer rating, efficiency, air yards per pass, etc. He's much better than average.
