Lance traded to Cowboys

[Mix]

Wonder if the Lance fetish fan club will still update us on his time with the cowboys.

A lot of critics are blasting the niners over their handling of Lance, and I have to completely disagree with them. The mistake was drafting him in the first place. He was never going to lead them to success in his first or second season, and waiting for year 3 is way too long to be trading up in the draft to get. Their biggest and main mistake happened on draft day, and everything else was downhill from that.
The great success story of Purdy (and really any player who comes out of nowhere) has a flipside: some player losing their job. In this case it was Trey Lance. The niners got the wins with Purdy that they wanted with Lance. They could either pretend last season doesn't matter or they could accept that Lance is not their best option going forward. They chose to go with Purdy and it makes sense to do so.
Getting a 4th round pick and getting his salary off the books is a huge win for the niners as it is highly unlikely that Lance was ever going to make it work in SF.
The Cowboys overpaid, but they overpaid to be the team who gets the first crack at trying to build him up in a situation with much less pressure. If Lance is ever going to be a starting QB he'll need to start with the basics and fundamentals and go from there. He was already a project, but now he's a project with an injury history and one failed relationship with a team.

How are the cowboys going to build him up tho? They’re contenders as much as sf is. Cooper has carried what, six games for Dak due to injury, he’s proven.

Maybe the trade for Lance was to mine him for 49er playbook information. I mean the Cowboys believe they are a contender and that the 49ers are one of the probable opponents in the playoffs.

Can Trey Lance beat out Cooper Rush as backup to Dak Prescott?

Relegated to No. 3 in San Francisco, Trey Lance wanted to go from a place where he had a better chance of being No. 2.

I think Cooper Rush is a better QB than Dak. So not this year for sure.

Because there is no expectation of him starting. In SF he lost the starting job, but in Dallas he doesn't have it at all. Like all young backup QBs he will be developed with the hope that he can turn into something. In SF there was no way of that being allowed to happen due to his draft position. As a cowboy he is merely a 4th round QB with a more expensive contract. They clearly like his physical tools, now they want to see if they can turn him into a legit QB

Well, they did just pick up a 5m dollar tab for Trey’s 2024 while sticking him in a position that most 3s are in, scraps from scout team.

Kyle Shanahan: Trey Lance wanted a chance to be the No. 2 quarterback elsewhere

The 49ers gave Lance a choice, and he chose to go.

But in Dallas, he’s still the 3.

 

[RiverDog]

Three firsts and a third to move up 9 spots to take him with the #3 overall and they bail after two years getting a measly 4th round pick in return. That sort of puts our trade for Adams in perspective, doesn't it?

Misery loves company. I can just imagine John Lynch and John Schneider sitting in a bar with tears in their beers. Schneider will probably have to pay for the first round.

49ers close books on historic draft blunder

The 49ers are lucky they have a great team.

All 30 seconds of highlights. Lance will be out of the league within 3 years. He's got a couple of seasons hiding on Dallas's roster but his time will draw near once he has to actually play.

could be a super super super late bloomer, like Geno.

Does anyone remember the QB bust predictor, the 26-27-60 rule for drafting quarterbacks? It was scoring a 26 on the Wonderlic, 27 college starts, and 60 percent career completion percentage.

John P. Lopez: Rule of 26-27-60 helps predict QB success

But could a simple formula have warned us of Russell's lack of NFL readiness? And Ryan Leaf's and David Carr's and other failed, high-pick quarterbacks? Call it

Lance started in just 17 games for North Dakota State.

That's excellent. One thing I would like to add , is where and who the prospect played college football. He wasn't tearing the world a new ass at North Dakota.

How the hell did they think he was going to get to the NFC West without problems?

 

[SantaClaraHawk]

The 9ers Twitter account has basically been blowing smoke for at least a year. Maybe more. @Marvin49 do you finally get it?


Minnesota didn’t even pursue Lance, and Cowboys Will Grier who will get fired regardless put up multiple scores over Raiders. You saw what Lance did against that same team 2 weeks ago. Do you admit being taken in by 49ers marketing?

No way John pays for the first round. He usually trades it!!

Jerruh overpaid. Shocked he went for more than a late 5th. I was expecting a 6th.

Selling the farm for Lance will go down as the worst trade up in NFL history.

But this specific trade was a win for 49ers. Lance was only going to be a distraction from here on out as his value continues to plummet. So you rid yourselves of the distraction, and get a 4th rd pick out of it.
