Didn’t You Used To Be The 3rd Overall Pick? - JustInTime - 02-25-2025
Not even Father O’Connell’s School For Wayward QBs could fix him.
Or could it?

Dumb trade for the Cowboys to even bring him in to Dallas. He's toast. Just a guy that's never going to push through. Didn't play enough CFB as others have mentioned. And when he did play the little he did, it was with North Dakota State University. I don't think he's capable of being QB3 in the NFL.....but someone will give him another shot at the bottom of a roster. My guess is he won't be in the NFL in 2 years. Worst thing he did for himself was to play 1 game his junior year and then sit out so he wouldn't get injured and prepare for the NFL Draft. Still just 24 years old.
"Looking for a chance to compete for a starting role??" LMAO.

I’m not sure he could start in the UFL at this point.

The real learning here isn't about Lance, its about the 49'ers...
How did that franchise bounce-back from such a decision and how did Lynch survive the debacle?

They sure did, Purdy literally saved front office jobs. Lifetime Xmas card from The Lynch's.
It'll be interesting to see what they settle in at on a new contract. I am hearing they don't want to pay DAK kinda $$ to him.
Tough to buck the salary increase trend at QB.

it shouldnt be though, common sense and logic clearly shows that paying by the position and not the player is a terrible way to allocate cap resources and quickly leads to roster issues. even great QBs can eat to much cap and cause a problem for their teams success, the lower down from elite you get the greater the pay gap needs to be to allow those cap resources to be applied to the bandaids that cover up that QBs deficiencies. If they havent really proven shit... then offer them a deal commensurate with their talent level ( not their success) and be prepared to move on. always need to be grooming the QB replacement. Honestly we should be looking for a young guy to be working up behind JJM either this year or the next IMO.
