Will Trey Lance take Dak Prescott’s job at QB?
After acquiring Trey Lance in a blockbuster trade, Jerry Jones has some explaining to do. Is Lance endangering Dak Prescott‘s job as the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys? Will this trade affect the way the Cowboys view Prescott’s next contract? Will Lance ever start for the Cowboys? All of these are questions you’re probably asking yourself right now, and I am here to answer them … or to be exact, Jerry Jones is.
Prescott has been the Cowboys starting QB since 2016. The same year he won AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, beating out his former teammate and best friend Ezekiel Elliott. Prescott’s rookie year is widely considered as one of his best seasons in the NFL, posting one of his best TD-to-INT ratios as well as a 68 percent completion rate. Now, Prescott has been struggling with Dallas, posing the question of whether is he really their franchise quarterback or not.
“Didn’t cross my mind — period — about an impact here regarding Dak,” Jones said. “I know that Dak wants to do anything we can do to improve this team. We’re going to do it. The facts are the decision to bring in as high a quality of talent as we could and that’s a young talent . . . we’ve been trying to do what we did today . . . almost every draft.
“He gives us an opportunity to do what we would always like to be doing. It would be ideal with Dak to have a young, prospective, developing quarterback that could just be in the room . . . with him,” Jones said. “This gives Trey not only what he got in San Francisco, but he [joins], in my mind, one of the finest quarterback rooms there is because Dak Prescott is in it. Dak Prescott’s finest quality to me is how he takes what he does in the classroom and takes it to the practice field. So, this really was in our mind very much that he was going to be coming into this situation with Dak.
“We didn’t waste any time. The minute that we knew that they were serious about trading him, then we didn’t want the phone to hang up. We felt good about him, about the evaluation we had before the draft. We felt good about what we’ve seen on tape that he’s done since he’s been in the NFL, and it was one that we just made the decision almost the minute we heard the name. Let’s get him.”
Does Lance deserve a shot at the Cowboys starting QB job? Or is the job secured with Prescott as the frontrunner? Let us know in the comments down below.
