Dallas Cowboys QB Trey Lance Thread

people get stuck on the whole draft picks but who cares. It's nearly over with the picks we threw away. If lynch sucks at anything, it's first round picks. Hahah

one lead us to the NFCC and had a freak injury but did historic things as a rookie with minimal prep. One has beat the worst team in the league one year and lost to the worst team in the league the following year.

this will be a debate with no end until the team announces a starter. I think Kyle feels too aligned with the way Purdy plays and his composure to not give Purdy every chance to regain the starting position once he is healthy.

I don't want to waste this super bowl window with a qb who we have no idea what he is.

Don't think either samples for Trey or Brock were long enough to determine anything. Let em compete once both are healthy and best man wins.

Can the kid even develop, he just wasted two years of his rookie contract. How long are you guys gonna give him to develop.

Btw I'm laughing at "You do want him to fail". Got damn.

I don't see anyone saying they don't want Purdy to start, he's just injured.

Most likely Trey will start the season and fans who dislike Trey can't accept that.

A couple of weeks ago, one of the talking heads on NFLN asserted that the current 49er QB situation was the most convoluted, most nuanced they had ever seen in his time of reporting. Now adding in Darnold makes it even more so.

Scanning these past few pages certainly affirms that guy's take. It is what it is.

Carry on... Gonna be a fun offseason.

How does Darnold make it more so? He's been literally one of the worst starting QBs in the league for 5 yrs. Bottom of the barrel in every damn stat. He hasn't improved at all as a passer.

Only thing he has going on is he's played at lot of football…it just so happens that it's been terrible football.

It's definitely a unique situation with variables, but I don't think it's that hard to figure out what the team's planning. It's not rocket science.

Pretty much. Who would have thought they would have stooped to Sam Darnold should start? I didn't think they could be that bias. Guess I was wrong.

It looks like all sides are going to get a little of what they want out of this upcoming season.

Lance is going to get a ton of snaps, likely extending into the early season. If he does well, he is at least good trade bait in 2024. The important thing is he is going to get some quality time.

Purdy is going to have plenty of time for full recovery while Lance gets his shot. Having set the bar very high, at the very least, one of the two will yield solid draft capital NEXT YEAR.

Now we have Darnold who gives some assurance that the FO is still all-in on winning this year. Instead of some re-tread, they brought in a guy who can play now if needed but also yield trade bait if he does well.

So much to like right now, especially if debate is one's specialty.

They both were and are better rushers than Trey. Stats don't tell you how hard Trey gets hit and his uncanny ability to come up a yard short

Yes. Currently they are better rushers. But they weren't in their first 4 games.

Lance starts, if he stinks/doesn't improve you've given Brock time to be ready and have some sort of idea of what Lance is/isn't.

Sam is there as the backup QB through camp and if Brock starts the season on PUP/IR.

If lance plays well, you can just as well trade Brock or keep him as the backup.

Have you not watched lance run? Stats in 4 games don't tell you anything. Watch the film. The guy gets compared to full backs lmao

He's played some bad football on some bad teams. No surprise there.

He has also played some good football when he finally had a HC that knew what he was doing and created a positive environment. I put a lot of faith in the fact that CMC and Wilks had a first hand look at him. Had they shared the same overall negativity that you expressed, he wouldn't be here.

Note the added bold in my original post.

If we could go back in time, knowing what we know now, even with the caveat that Trey would be injury-free, there is noway in hell we make that trade with the Dolphins. I am sure this is the sentiment of everyone here (from even 2 years ago). With this said I do hope that Trey plays lights out and beats Brock for QB1. If that happens - Wowza.

This is unknowable, because for all we know by the end of last year he's on the verge of stardom.

And you're right. If Trey goes well, we would have an excess of good QBs. Which means incoming first round picks.

WHY trade Brock so soon?

We already saw what he can do, unless teams out there offer us 1 or 2 or 3, which we all know wont happen, we need to keep the guy just in case Lance is a softy.

Plus, what if we trade Brock and Darnold don't want to sign w/us again, then we're back to calling either Josh or Nate or even Baker.
