Im not sure how old you are, but QB's used to be developed by sitting and learning. Lance is 23 years old. Before you say a QB in today's game can't improve into being a starter after a couple of years of watching a veteran and learning the game, I suggest you watch some Green Bay games this season.

Oh you're talking about 3 QBs in NFL history (with a bit of rope, I get other QBs like Young were a backup)? Brady, Rodgers, and Favre?

Are you really saying you're putting stock in Jordan Love?

And that's a yes/no question and I'm going to hold you to that.

Maybe even watch Buffalo?

I’m not saying Lance should play over Dak if Dak struggles, I’m just saying that if Dak does struggle, I’m certain some fans will start saying “play Lance”.
I've seen every QB Dallas play and only Staubach was spared from chants for the back up

Combo of 1) believing in Purdy, 2) realizing Lance's potential isn't what they hoped (at least in the eyes of their staff) and 3) not wanting the distraction in a season where they're legit SB contenders.

It makes sense ignoring all the preamble. Factoring in the preamble, it's an absolute disaster of events that led to this and if they don't manage to win a SB with this core the talent they missed out on with those picks they moved for Lance is going to be one of the sport's great "what ifs".

Believing in Purdy.....??.....lol

We will see.....I believe its gonna be a biig mistake.....TL has not had the chance to showcase his talent yet,while they took TL as a no.1 pick giving him the starting job lasr year too giving up on him after one game last season to giving Mr.Relevant a starting job.......??
For a 4th rounder nontheless.....

Its gonna be a big mistake if you ask me......but SF does have the team to hide the less talented Purdy.......

A team that really needs a qb should have taken that chance on him.......

Also hard for Lance to develop without playing time.

No reason for the 49ers to pick Darnold as backup over Lance. Everyone know what Darnold is, he’s not going to get better.

Lance, on the other hand, can still develop.

I also think Lance’s game is not suited for SF offensive scheme, which made them drafting him even more puzzling. Jones would’ve made way more sense in that system they run. Fields and Lance did not.

I’m not sure Dallas has the right system for him either, but it’s better than SF.

look at Dak's career stats
He’s certainly in top half of QBs, think he will be good this year.

On Zeke and against popular opinion, I believe he was a good addition to the Pats, now they have a duo of strong runners, and we sucked in the RZ last year. Can see him helping out in that area.

I think Love will be fine. Not A rod buy who is? Lance? No man, I'm not ready to call him washed at 23

it is the usual suspects.

I like Elliott and I do think he will bring value to the Pats.

Great deal for the Cowboys because there is literally zero risk. Lance is 23. If they pick his 5th year option up, the Cowboys control him for 3 more seasons at which time Dak will be 33 and Lance 26. They can have him sit and learn as the #3 this season, move him into the backup role next year, and either trade him for a pick or prep him to start in a few years if his head catches up with his talent. Their #3 had been Will Grier. In what world is this not a solid deal? It's not like the Cowboys gave up three 1st's to get him....
Cowboys could trade Dak in a few years if Lance is any good.

Like I said, this is all SF’s look on all this. Whether they’re right time will tell.

Personally I’m kind of terrified at betting the farm on Mr. Irrelevant but here we are lol
