Cowboys Trade for QB Trey Lance

[boozeman]

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.

I do not think Akili Smith is a fair comparison at all.

Whichever QB bust you like then. The point remains.

And his uni number sux. Very few stellar qbs wear #5. Sorry, McNabb.

Not really.

I bet this is statistically relevant.

They were talking about this on Sirius this morning.

How the fuck does Purdy cancel their mistake?

Fuckers tripped over their own dicks and might have a QB.

 

[Foobio]

he did. didn't look bad, either.

 

[boozeman]

Maybe John Lynch doesn’t know what he’s doing.

I don’t think he is especially smart at all.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Not really.

There have been many QB busts that have tools in abundance that you could've used that to justify giving up assets for. But the original team didn't give up on the guy lightly or for no reason.

The Bengals at that time were a mess. They outright released him.

I honestly can't think of the last time a team gave up on a top 3 pick after only 2 seasons. It os definitely odd. Especially a guy who they penciled in as a starter in year two before he busted his ankle.

The point is he and many other first round QB busts never went anywhere else and did any better. Some guys just don't have it.

Damn @Smitty.

The Zzzzone beat you by a large margin.

I'd be happier if he were a phenomenal qb who just couldn't stay healthy, but they got rid of him because he's been bad on the field.

They went from thinking at one point last year they had 3 starting caliber QBs. Now they’ll soon find out they have none.

That’s some shit right there.

Brett Favre who the Packers traded for?

I mean his preseason stats this preseason don't look bad at all. I'll admit I didn't actually watch those games though.

I mean I think everyone is talking about Lance like he was out there doing Richardson things. He wasn't that bad.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I don't agree with this. Dak is an extremely confident player and clearly way way better than Lance.
