Dallas Cowboys QB Trey Lance Thread

I don't buy the concept that you need some established QB when you are on the doorstep to the SB. The most important thing is sustained success. Best way to get there is with top qb play. That should always be the main objective.

Best way to get there is with a stout defense. In trying to find that top QB you will have to pay a lot of mediocre QBs along the way. If you over pay for the wrong QB you put yourself in a bind.

Whereas you know what defenders to pay and rarely regret it. Then all you need is a QB to fit your system.

That is how you sustain success. Usually when you start paying top QBs their money you have to sacrifice other portions of your roster. You don't have to do that when you have sustained success on defense. 10 of the top 15 highest paid QBs didn't make the playoffs this year.

That was a great listen. It sounds like Purdy might be one of the best things to happen to Trey. The urgency to find ways to stay involved and contribute is a good sign of Trey's competitiveness. I hope it lights a fire under Trey's ass to push even harder to become the player we believe he can be.

Agreed. He's comes off as a very genuine dude and a great teammate. Competition is good no matter what.

I agree. You can get kinda lost if you don't have a target you are aiming for to meet or exceed. Another QB gives a bar that TL has to get past each day with his offseason activity. Wilson they gave him no comp really and he wilted. This need for comp, along with BP on the shelf for a while is why I think we should bring in a real QB to compete this offseason.

Can't understand how people can listen to this kid and hope for anything but his success. Our QB room is in great shape for the foreseeable future.

Right? Team Lance/Purdy 🤝

Brock Purdy said that Trey Lance helped him a lot before the games.
From the outside Lance just like Purdy seems to be a really great dude.
Hard to not root for both of them.

He is all of that.

The Purdy reference is a good sign. What Purdy has, that Lance has not yet shown, is that "feel" for the game, the ability to extend plays while looking downfield, making something out of nothing. Purdy is an intuitive, instinctive player. That shows in everything he has done, even the stuff that made Shanahan angry. KS loves that about Purdy.

If Lance can feed off that, and become that instinctive player, he has a chance. It is clear he doesn't have the speed KS hoped he might have to get around the outside. Hence, he is going to have to pick his spots to run and in the meantime, learn to be a point guard.

Yes,....he doesn't just come off that way...he IS that way.

I mean we've seen it enough times by now to confirm that he's not just acting. Let's see what it turns into for him career-wise.

Funny thing about him was no matter what he said or did, he had such a small following the most attention he got was from this board. No one really cared about anything he did (expect on the rare instance he would piss off a player by asking a question designed to piss them off). But seems like in the last few years he started to break out. I guess that even though Sports Illustrated is kind of dead as anything meaningful in the sports landscape (think of it as Bleacher Report in the mid 2000s) it must mean something to some still.

Yeah he's built up his "brand" via YouTube/Twitter. he's no dummy on what sells and gets engagements in this age.

He's kinda a moron, but I respect the hustle. I just understand what his game plan is and overall take it for that.

I don't respect his hustle. His "hustle" is contributing to the rage machine and dumbing down of society. He's the lowest common denominator — the type to make money doing what would a shame most people. I'd rather jump off the golden gate than be a narcissist scumbag like Grant Cohn.

With the news that Purdy should make a full recovery and be ready for Training Camp, I dont see the need to "bring in a real QB" as you say. Unless the "real QB" is someone like Jacoby Brissett for like $4M a season. But even then, I could make a case why that is not necessary.

I wasn't aware of that news has he even had his procedure yet?
