trey lance traded to cowboys

[richNjoisy]

wow

 

for a 4th?  egad.  49ers traded a 1st in 2021, 2022, and 2023 along with another 3rd in 2022 to move up.  All to Miami.

This trade confuses me

Lance needs a fresh start. I wish him well. Overdrafted, injuries, and on a team that needs a consistent QB.

 

Too bad he landed with Cowboys, but maybe it gives him a chance to develop.

 

 

[78thealltimegreat]

I don’t think he can play from I’ve seen as his mechanics and pocket awareness are awful… but hey it’s a 4th rounder not a bad deal.

Bills just didn’t have the cap room as he is guaranteed nearly 7 million dollars as a backup the next two years. 

[Aussie Joe]

Cowboys lol

 

I mean… at least the Bills use their 4ths to trade up 2 spots in the draft ..

[BigDingus]

Maybe it's just to push Dak in camp a bit, or add a little pressure when the team inevitably underachieves over a certain stretch.

 

Obviously it's not a REAL threat to Dak, but it could be just enough to get that stupid portion of a fanbase calling for the backup & motivate Dak to prevent that.

 

In reality, it's probably none of that, and I'm just trying to make it more interesting than it really is 😅

[GETTOTHE50]

stupid move on both sides.

Wow. Niners took a bath on the original trade.

 

Purdy must be the real deal…so they think.

hard to say. In his entire HS, collegiate and nfl career combined he has fewer passes than many nfl qbs threw last year alone. 
 

He was a long shot, and it’s even more uphill from here but with lowered expectations and a slower timeline, maybe he can contribute to a team down the line. Probably not “the guy” but a career backup is good work.

Cue somebody saying "Now that everybody has film on him....."

Really banking on Purdy being good. What an abysmal trade up to draft him. 

[MJS]

Why did the Cowboys do this, I wonder?

Jerry may love Dak.but think he also sees that he might not be good enough so might as well bring in a guy to develop behind him. I wonder if it makes Cooper Rush available?

[Andy1]

That ranks as one of the all-time busts given what they paid to get him.

Because they are the Cowboys.

If the 49ers believe he's a bust, it's a great deal to get rid of the obligation of paying him the next 2 years.  In fact, the Cowboys should have demanded a draft choice from the 49ers to make the deal, like Cleveland did when Houston sent Osweiler to them.

This is their M.O.

 

they traded a third for drew henson years ago and he was equally as awful as lance, he was actually better.  I remember parcells was pissed and said the guy couldn't play from day one.

 

Somehow Jerry is convinced this guy is a star and he is a mini nfl celebrity.  Everything jerry loves.

Wasn't there a thread on here about SF's competence?
