Cowboys Trade for QB Trey Lance

[Cowboysrock55]

I'm not a fan of the player but a 4th round pick for a developmental QB is not bad at all.

One who is athletic and has a cannon arm and is 6'4" is not ever going to be available in the fourth round. I wonder of McCarthy has visions of Brett Farve being traded to the Packers.

speaking of which, Lance is balding badly. I want a qb who can face the day with confidence.

It also puts a bit of pressure on Dak to not try to squeeze every last cent out of an extension.

Sorry I just don't see how this puts pressure on Dak. Trey Lance doesn't have any real pedigree and is a 3rd string QB on most teams in the league.

Perhaps that is it. Look at Shanahan’s kid.

Bald.

Look at Darnold’s impressive Syndrome mane.

I wonder if they plan on him being 3rd string. A 4th is a lot to give up for a 3rd stringer.

Say that reminds me, Can someone count up the bald SB winning QBs? I am too lazy.

Jerry really is a retard.

This is not Jerry Jones.

Bradshaw, Dilfer, etc.

If they're serious about contending this season, they don't force him into the #2 slot.

Cooper Rush is proven and knows the system inside and out. They've proven they can win with him.

Lance on the other hand is still an enigma.

could've signed him for nothing instead of throwing away a 4th on a maybe

Bradshaw, Dilfer, etc.

But was Bradshaw really that bald though? His toupees would shame people today.

Bradshaw and... that might actually be it.

This is the crux of the trade in my opinion. Even though Lance never should've gone top 5-10, he was a legit first round prospect. We aren't getting those kinds of tools outside of the first 2ish rounds, and maybe not even outside the first.

I'd much rather gamble on something like this than taking a Will Levis towards the end of the first.

I would be shocked if they do that.

I don't remember Bradshaw wearing a toop.

 

[data]

Jerruh did this to get the heat off him for no ROH Jimmuh

 

[bbgun]

he did. didn't look bad, either.

 

[boozeman]

I don't remember Bradshaw wearing a toop.

Well not on the field. When he did his country singin’ and occasional actin’, I distinctly recall a proud hair piece and then being confused.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Had we traded for, say, Akili Smith after he flamed out in Cincinnati, you could say all the same things we're trying to justify the Lance trade with now. First rounder, physical traits, all the tools, maybe they can fix him, etc.

These flyers on 1st round QB busts very rarely work out. Teams don't give up on those guys lightly.
