It's twenty eight for my 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.000 girlfriend's softphone. Let's go. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.240 That's a supporting boyfriend right now. 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:15.160 I love bit. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:16.920 We're going to talk about that after the show. 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:17.920 All right. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.680 Cowboys fall in their final game of the regular season. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.040 Nineteen vote for Darren Woodson, please do so. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:25.640 Twenty eight. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.400 Yep, that's why you wear the necklace. You're trying to 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:33.520 get exact into canton uh reaction from Washington h Cowboys 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.160 fall twenty three to nineteen in the final seconds of 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.159 the twenty twenty four season. It was a bummer way 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.160 to end it. I don't think there's a whole lot 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.800 of people that were upset about it. At the end 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.280 of the day, it was a game going into it. 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.360 We all talked about it. It was a chance to evaluate, 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.520 got to see Trey Lance quite a bit, got to 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.960 see Jonathan Mingo, got to see Deuce Fawn. Finally you 0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.880 got to see all these guys play a little extra 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.440 snaps up front, and I thought you still got what 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.040 you needed to out of that game. You had a 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.520 chance to win it against a playoff team that played 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.160 their starters for the first half, made some switches in 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.559 the second half, and honestly, you played really well against 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.280 their starters in the first half with your reserves and 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.960 your depth, so lots to come out of that. Your 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:19.719 thoughts after the. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.159 Loss, well, first and foremost, I think that Mike Zimmer 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.240 might be kryptonite to Jaydeon Daniels. I mean, outside of 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.560 the the Terry McLaurin pass late in the first matchup, 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.320 he's more or less shut down Jaydon Daniels. It took 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.400 Marcus Mariota to enter in the game for the Commanders 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.320 that have any kind of juice offensively. 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.479 To tell he was trying to yeah, oh yeah, yeah, 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:42.760 he had a vendetta. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.760 Absolutely, it was trying to make something happen so interesting there. 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.640 That was a big takeaway for me, is like, you know, 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.839 as much as some other defensive coordinators have been trying 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.039 to figure out Jaydon Daniels. Mike Zimmers had his number 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.520 from day one, so intriguing, and I wouldn't you know, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.840 mind putting that in the category of pros versus cons 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.400 As far as if you're going to bring zimber bag, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.040 he clearly has the number of the franchise quarterback of 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.360 a rival you're going to play multiple times a year 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.200 for the next several years, so keep that in mind. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.320 But I'm going to circle to Trey Lance. Finally we 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.640 get not only Trey Lance as a starter, we get 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.720 a full game to evaluate Trey Lance. I've been standing 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:23.320 here pleading for months now to see it. What never said? 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.520 I know, man burn all. 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:31.080 The receipts, I saw good and I saw bad from 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.760 Trey Lance, which was expected. I didn't expect that he 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.360 would go out there and light up the school board 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:36.880 to the tune of forty one points. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.880 Josh, Hey, you know, but I would have liked if 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:44.240 those were touchdowns instead of field goals. Been a little 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.040 closer for Yeah, a little. 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.480 Baby puts it in when you have gold to go 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.520 on more than just one occasion out of the several. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.120 Chances you got into the red zone quite a few times. 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.960 Did he used his legs, which we knew was going 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.560 to happen. He looked great doing so. Some of his 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.240 throws were more crisp than I than I expect. He 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.280 had some good accuracy in that first half, that's a zip. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.160 He had some good accuracy, some anticipation some of those throws. 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.160 But in the second half, when he was tasked with 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.360 applying touch to those passes, it reared its head again, 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.680 which is that's what he's been struggling with. And I've 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.360 been saying that since training camp. We've talked about it 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.200 since training camp when it comes to those those fades, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.000 which is why I couldn't understand why the Cowboys kept 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.640 calling the fades the and then I. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.400 Mean, I know it was just a mistake, but the 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:27.640 one di Rico daddle and. 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:29.760 I felt so bad. 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:37.000 Yeah, but you know what helps, Yeah, it's true, man, yea, 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:37.600 let me. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:47.040 So come on, t I mean, was it perfect. Absolutely not. 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.160 We didn't expect that it would be, but he did 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.400 show me. I could honestly sit here and say he 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.400 showed me enough to in Fred since the two way Street, 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.200 so he would have to want to come back. But 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.160 from a front office standpoint, based on that game, I 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.800 would be willing to welcome him back at a reasonable 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.000 price for that QB two battle for twenty QB two. 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.960 That that second point is very important. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.320 Reasonable price, reasonable price, Yeah, of course, very very true. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.120 I think I'm there too. The timing was one of 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.280 the things, Josh. I'm sure you'll allude to this too, 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.800 but the timing was off a bit in some of 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.640 the throws. He whenever it comes to the cannon that 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.240 he has, doesn't matter, it's still going to happen. Like 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:30.040 he's still got arm velocity, he's got the accuracy at times. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.280 It's anytime you've got a finesse. He doesn't have that 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.679 element to his game, and the timing is a part 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:35.920 of that. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.319 But I will say Jonathan Mingo had his best game 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:38.880 as a cowboy. 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:40.120 What do you know? What do you know? 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:41.439 What happens when you get a good pass? 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.400 More than one exactly? 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:45.840 And I've interpret some things. 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.760 To me, it felt like Trey Lance had more juice, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.600 I mean overall than what Kooper Rush was bringing you. Granted, 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:57.400 you're getting more of a conservative I don't want to 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.000 say bus driver flippantly, but that's kind of what you 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.080 get from a Cooper Rush, right, And we talked about 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:03.920 it several times where you're not seeing the zip on 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.600 Cooper Rush's throws, whereas for Trey Lance, you were seeing 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.079 him throw the ball down the field. You were getting 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:14.160 multiple opportunities for guys like Cavante Turpin, multiple opportunities for 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:18.000 guys like Jonathan Mingo. There was juice there, and I 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.319 would have killed to have seen that develop over several 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:26.160 games versus one single game. However, if you're Trey Lance, 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:32.280 do you in the now where we're talking free agency? Right, 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.959 if you are Trey Lance, do you not feel like 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.400 you might have a better shot staying here at QB 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.480 two then restarting with a brand new coaching staff. I mean, well, 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:49.880 I don't know, starting over, I know, right, and maybe 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.040 a new coaching staff to begin with anyways, So I 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.320 don't know. I just feel like. 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.720 Build on this man to answer your question, and I'll 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.640 throw it to tell me. If I'm Trey Lance, I'm 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:05.480 going really for a couple of reasons. One, if I 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.360 were literally Trey Lance, I'm looking at it as you 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.160 finally gave me the start in week eighteen. However, why 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.680 not give me the opportunity when we were mathematically eliminated 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.800 from the playoffs, even if it was not a little 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.400 bit more than a package here there, but zero reps 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.640 is crazy. But also when you consider the fact that 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.360 in speaking with Trey Lance after the game and going 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.120 into this offseason, though when I asked him, he did 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.760 say he is still not focused on free agency, so 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.760 as recently as right after the game, he was like, 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.439 I'm still right where I am. I need to do 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.319 some reflection on the season. But he also said he's 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:44.000 looking forward to an opportunity. That stuck with me because 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.599 the question then becomes the opportunity to be what is 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.199 an opportunity to remain a QB two and maybe be 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.520 someone's QB three if they don't feel like they want 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.839 to compete with the QB two. If it's for a chance, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.000 even a remote chance to be QB one, that's not 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.120 happening here. So if I'm Trey Lance, and that opportunity 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.960 that I'm looking for is at least a I don't 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.520 want to say fair, but at least an open opportunity 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:13.280 to battle for QB one somewhere, that's I'm going really quickly. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.360 If you are another two, I mean, I granted, maybe 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.520 we're too close to the cowboy situation of it all. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:19.960 But I don't think he has a QB one. 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.240 I'm not saying, hey, I'm not saying he has a And. 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.079 I don't think anybody takes a mill again on like 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.760 the one game that he gave you to say, oh well, 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.880 let's give him a shot at QB one. I think 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.319 his best scores of action would be to stay. But 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.160 then again, I am very biased. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.080 But I see what you're saying. So let me clarify. 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.240 I mean contextually speaking, so from a Trey Lance standpoint, 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:42.200 if he's talking about an opportunity to compete for QB one, 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.800 not necessarily right off the bat, because he's not going 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.120 to have this influx of NFL teams that are beating 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.959 down his doing free agency. Let's be clear on that. 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.520 But if it's a way two or three, and it may, 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.559 and if it is those two or three, you look 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.000 at those two or three, and you look at the 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.880 starting QB situation and you say, is that a Dak Prescott? 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:04.080 Is that a Patrick Mahomes? Is that a tool? If 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.199 the answer is no, no, no, is that a CJ. Stroud. 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:07.720 If the answer is no, no, no, no no, then 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.400 you have a chance. You go in knowing that you're 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.559 likely QB two in those two or three situations, but 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.319 you have your eye open to say I can probably 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:17.439 beat out QB one. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.000 But are you looking at Dak Prescott in terms of 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.240 health saying like, hey, man. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.319 Oh, I mean that's a different that's a conversation, a 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.880 different conversation. I mean, the contract for Dak has him here, 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.720 of course, ever, but you could look elsewhere and say, okay, 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.199 is that an aging quarterback too? Of course, guys that 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.840 are out what I mean, bad example, because he's an 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.520 unrestricted free agent. But let's say Aaron Rodgers returns to 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.760 New York. That's example, and then he returns to New York, 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.520 and then there's a second opportunity at the quarterback spot there. 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:47.920 Maybe Trey Lance is out there. 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.280 You've got next up, guarantee. I don't know if Trey 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.240 Lance has earned that opportunity yet. From an NFL wide standpoint, 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:56.839 I'm curious to see what you think. 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:58.679 I don't think so, and I don't think he put 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.880 enough on tape on Sunday to warrant that either. I 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.160 think you guys make good points. When I look at 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.480 Trey Lance. This is a guy who has not played 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.559 a lot of football in his career. When you think 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.720 back to his days in college and in the NFL. Now, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.680 this is a guy who, simply put is very raw, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.839 and that's why Dallas took him because they wanted to 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.680 see what could happen when they baked him a little 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.960 bit and see what the product was. I don't think 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.200 it was an awful product on Sunday, and I don't 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.520 think that he's just been sitting there all this entire time. 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.040 I think there has been some development during his time here. 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.599 But when you look at that game on Sunday, like 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.760 Patrick said, there was good, there was bad. Easy passes 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.480 like the end zone that he underthrows, you've got to 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.559 make those. You just have to make those. I thought 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.079 there were some instances where he had running room in 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:43.880 front of him. I mean, all we've talked about with 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.800 adding Trey Lance to the folded quarterback has been using 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:47.599 his legs. 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.240 As psych he took him the second half. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.719 He's got six carries for twenty six yards. I think 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.839 he could have easily had fifty to fifty five sixty 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.000 yards in this game if he tucks a couple more 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:56.640 and takes off. 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.000 Yeah, and so that QB two opportunity. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.480 I don't know if it's here, because I think Cooper 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.480 Rush gives you the better opportunity to win as a 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.439 backup quarterback because he's already done it for you. It's 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.040 not fun football all the time because it's more of 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.840 just to manage the game, push the ball downfield, stick 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.000 to the script type deal. But if it's winning you 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.000 football games, that's what he's done and until he proves 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.720 you otherwise, I don't know. 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.360 Why Philadelphia, and also really. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.160 Quick unless it's Philadelphia, since. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.720 That Cooper Rush point. Cooper Rush has already felt what 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.520 it's like to be on a different team, and I 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:29.960 don't think he wants to go through that again. 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.240 That didn't happen very well, right. 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.600 He's extremely comfortable here, even if there's a change of 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.600 head quotes. The quarterback is still Dak Prescott and they 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.480 have a great relationship, and Cooper Rush is going to 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.840 likely accept the veteran minimum to remain here. So that 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.640 sounds delicious for a front office that's pushing the cap 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.520 issue as something to content with. 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.000 It's also a front office that's trying to prove that 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.240 the fourth round pick that they sent to San Francisco 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.120 was worth it at the same time. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.080 So there's there's elements to really trying to prove that 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:00.120 he would have start. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.120 Started a long time ago. I agree, trust me. 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:04.800 I will say I think there are a lot of 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.280 situations where Trey Lance can really excel. Sure, I just 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:09.600 don't know if it's here. 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.400 And that's where I am with it. Yeah, so the 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.360 I'm Trey Lance, that's how I feel. I don't know 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.360 if this is the fit for me right. 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.120 A couple of things that add there. I think based 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.200 off of what we saw on Sunday, Trey Lance is 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.280 an NFL quarterback right, Yes, playing and simple, he is 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.720 an NFL quarterback, just not a store not a starter. 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.440 That's kind of and where where we are there's still 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.800 that possibility because there were flashes of it. And there's 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.160 always the athleticism side of things too that I think 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.560 you have to keep in mind. You bring up a 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.120 great point, the timidness to run. I wish Isaiah was 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.560 here for this, because Isaiah was a dual threat quarterback 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.000 in his own right, and he was talking about it 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.840 on Sunday when we were watching the game. He was saying, 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.280 I think they have told him they want to see 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.680 him as a passer. He's like, because when you're a 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.720 running quarterback and you're told all your life going up 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.640 into the NFL, run when you need to run, when 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.040 you need to run, when you need to Then you 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:04.760 get to the NFL and you face guys that are 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.800 much more athletic than what you've seen in the past, 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.520 and they say, we need you to stop running. Your 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.200 instincts go away. Yeah, there were a couple of times. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.560 You go back on film, there was the sact that 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.480 he took where he's statued statued up, but then you 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.840 could see there was a moment, there's a moment in 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.280 his head where the instincts kicked in. He took a step, 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.000 but then he sat down and he sat in it. 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.680 So there are times in that game and you can 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.960 go back and watch it. Go find the film where 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.040 he takes a step and that instinct is there. You 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:35.680 could see it. Run run, run, run and run. But 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.840 he pulls back and then because his voice is correct, 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:40.800 because he's being told, we want to see what you 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.239 can do as a pocket passer in the NFL against defenses, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.440 against pass rush, how do you avoid it? Did a 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.320 great job on the play. The Rico Dattle to avoid 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.640 the pass rush. He was swarmed behind the line of scrimmage, 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.280 had a brilliant move that was Trey Lancel was like, 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.240 this is the play, and then it just fluttered to 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.920 the ground and it was unfortunate. So that's the microcosm. 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.720 If you could take the entirety of Trey Lance's NFL career, 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.400 both in San Francisco and in Dallas right now, put 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:12.840 it into one play, it would be that Rico Doubtle play, athleticism, talent, vision, 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.159 all sorts of society. But then it just still doesn't 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.440 click and it still doesn't happen. So I'm interested. He's 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:25.080 one of the more intriguing storylines going into the off 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.600 season and an off season full of storylines. But it's 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.840 interesting because he could be one of those guys. I mean, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.119 we're looking at across the NFC playoff put picture right now, 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.320 how many of those guys that are currently quarterbacks in 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.480 a playoff picture right now are thrown away by their 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.600 not original teams, but other teams along the way. You've 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.679 got Jared Goff as the number one seed. You've got 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:50.800 Sam Darnold as a possible MVP. Conversation you've got Baker Mayfield, 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.600 who was on the Carolina Panthers backing up Andy Dalton 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.000 like a year and a half ago. Like, there's all 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.600 of these things that are playing a factor. I don't 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.359 know if I'm ready to give up on Trey Lance 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.720 just yet. And he shouldn't be as a team. 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:07.600 He's shown he's worth further development. Yes, as a player. 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.080 If I'm Trey Lance, I just got to feel like 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.080 there's a potentially better fit some world and. 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:14.239 Maybe a better price too. 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.359 If they're telling him not to run at all costs, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.119 I think that you're cutting him off the knees. You're 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.320 selling that is just that second. 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:23.960 I almost jumped out of the press box window, like 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:25.680 I was just like, you gotta be kidding me. He 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.880 had the green there, and if he takes that, he's 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.760 probably in the one yard line and his fourth and short. 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.359
