mcmagic posted:This has nothing to do with Dak. I'm imagine it's very unlikely that the Cowboys think they are trading for a guy who is going to ever replace Dak. It's just an asset. An asset who will, under the best circumstances, never, ever see the field? And then he leaves in FA?

Eh, I think it's worth the gamble for the Cowboys. Put some pressure on Dak, and maybe they'll luck out on Lance being good. I mean it's the Cowboys so this will somehow hilariously blow up in their face, but in a vacuum it seems fine to me.

Or he plays in a game or 2 and plays decently and they can flip him for a pick. It's a bet. I don't really see much of a downside other than I think the 4 is a bit more than I would've given.

Any time you can get a fourth round pick for a player you traded three first rounders for you have to go for it.

Lance being called for after the first dogshit cowboys performance (week 1) it'll make for some fun hot takes though.

I see this as also wanting to move on from Cooper Rush. Rush won em some games, his price is also going up Not Dak money, but let someone else kick the tires on him

The Cowboys are overpaying for a guy who hasn't really shown anything, and the Niners are really betting they won't have the horrible QB injury luck they've had... checks notes... every year.

Surprised the trade happened, for a lot of reasons, but glad they’re willing and able to move on from a bad draft pick.

The 49ers absolutely bungled the poo poo out of the last few years. They could have just signed Tom Brady and probably won three straight Super Bowls, definitely at least one, not completely torch a bunch of assets to trade up for Lance for zero return, and could have gotten their next post Brady guy either trading for a vet or drafting someone else

I'm just kind of sad. As someone who didn't believe in either Darnold or Lance, I found this preseason exciting in a perverse "stoppable force meets very movable object" way.

Tom would probably have had a career ending injury during his first snap for the 49ers.

hey Dak has that rare skill of being able to miss multiple games in a year due to injury and then still lead the league in interceptions. A unique skill few can master. Trey Lance can learn much from Dak, and then do the opposite of that.

Dak is perfectly fine and a 4th rounder to take a flier on a high pick is an overpay but not a huge one. If nothing else Lance has a higher ceiling than Will Grier.

I mean we already have proof that Brock Purdy is a better quarterback than Tom Brady, and that's with Brady's twenty years of experience versus Purdy's first start!

This wasn't a bad move for the Cowboys. Lance won't start unless Dak gets hurt (which he will) and the team is good enough to get him some experience. A 4th is whatever if you've got a solid backup you could possibly flip later on if he's good

Lance isn’t starting in relief of a hurt Dak either. He’s firmly behind Cooper Rush as a developmental lottery ticket.

Yeah, I don't really see how the Cowboys are a better opportunity for Lance, both teams are in a place where they aren't willing to risk their season on him. At least it's a fresh start for him.
