I don’t get it. This team traded for Trey Lance a few months ago, absorbing his pretty large contract in the process. Lance is a former 3rd overall pick whose largely unproven (potential?). But, he’s the 3rd stringer, he hasn’t seen the field unlike backup Cooper Rush, who to be honest, just doesn’t have Lance’s ceiling (even though he’s definitely a serviceable backup. Also, Dak’s had a solid season, there’s no realistic outcome where Lance replaces him. So like, what’s the plan here? Explain it to me like I’m ten years old because I really don’t get it.
The Cowboys have a very good roster. If Dak goes down, I am sorry Cooper is not the answer in a deep playoff run. The upside for Trey is so much higher.
There are a lot of teams using their 2nd QB right now. And it ain’t pretty.
