Yes, and by all accounts, there were several teams in on this.

Yeah, from 2020 forward, it's been a weird ride for this dude. Covid washed out his 2020. He enters the 2021 draft extremely raw. Hand fracture in preseason 2021 stunts him. Then ankle fracture in 2nd game of 2022 stunts him further.
Sure was FCS, but his 2019 stats as a redshirt fish are insane. You can't tell me a guy who completed nearly 70% of his passes with 28 TDs and 0 INTs has no chance to find his way. Get healthy. Get time to develop without the pressure of a talented team desperately needing a starting qb. See what happens. It's a 4th.

Low risk, high reward. At worst, he'll be a decent back-up even if he's a 3rd stringer. And if he fully develops, we got someone to take over for Dak down the line.
He got drafted 3rd for a reason - he has the talent and tools to succeed in this league. He just need some time to develop and see what his ceiling is at. And I think a 4th rounder is worth it to find out what he can become.

Are they only serving distilled water in the QB rooms at North Dakota State? How do they have so many brittle boneded athletic QBs?
At a minimum he develops enough to get traded for a higher pick down the road. This is an asset play. Daknisnt going anywhere and this move has zero impact on any negotiations.
Also, Dak will have a great season.

Pretty favorable assessment from a very good NFL QB mind….

He makes some good points and comparisons. Success for QBs in the NFL isn't just about talent but also finding the right fit. I heard someone else say that they didn't feel like Lance fit Shanahan's offense very well. Would love to see him do well in Dallas.
Nice find, thanks for the link.
Yep. The more I read, the more I like this deal. Dak is 30 and I just realized cooper is 30 also. It's clear Grier doesn't have much so you need a young kid to throw in the mix.

Yeah he lost me at the Steve Young comparison
This kid is slow, has a terrible throwing motion, no experience in college or the pros
He was a terrible terrible draft pick
The worst trade in draft history and a top 3 NFL bust of all time
But yeah he is a def NFL starter
I'm not sure I follow.
He wasn't comparing them as players. He was pointing out that the journey to a starting QB can take some time.

Think we are going to regret not playing Dak at all in the preseason again, and hardly any of the starters

Exactly he used Steve Young as the comparison
Let me put it in liberal terms you understand
This is Joe Biden getting drafted to VP and sitting the bench for 8 years then getting placed as president and what do you know he is the worst President in history

Was this supposed to be to be funny?
Back to football. Trey Lance has all the A+ tools you looks for in an nfl QB. This is nothing more than a lottery ticket (like Dak). If it works the cowboys are geniuses, if it doesn't then who cares. It's definitely worth a shot.
Yeah, I think your second point was just as dumb as the first one

It's Mookie! He has never been accused of making many intelligent posts.
Hate the trade. It's frustrating that we traded a draft pick for this guy.

I'll be honest. I haven't read the last couple of pages... been a crazy busy weekend.
But without knowing all the details, Mac from the top roped with this reply!
I'm looking forward to seeing how Will Grier's audition for Canadia football goes tonight.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Grier lookin pretty legit
OL doing a great job on this drive and Grier is playing like he needs a job
Yeah, so far he does. What a weird situation for him.
Maybe Dak has a future as an OC
Mazi looked like a 1st round talent on that drive
I really like Luepke
Yeah, I hope we keep him. He would be perfect for Zekes 2 yards or less touchdowns.
Word has just come across the wire that the Cowboys have traded Will Grier to the 49ers for a 4th round pick
been on a field more than trey lance this year. pic.twitter.com/DdvLNKAdPV

Have a game Will Grier. Too bad we didn't see more of this in the past.
Whatever…. I'm just glad fake football is over.
The product is pretty terrible. The cheesy "go cowboys!" Amateur hour broadcast with the laundry list of sponsors getting their shout outs to the old washed up people with ties to the cowboys who they let call the games. Nobody trying to win. Just boring.
Looking forward to the games that count with good professional broadcasts like NBC and fox. I don't hate fox anymore now that buck / Aikman are gone. They did too many of our games.

Very classy move to showcase Grier last night.
All dak has to do is take shrooms and we got an mvp

Gawd preseason football is awful.
Not sure who's worse: The players or the announcers.
Let's get this thing going!

Mazi looked much better.
I also really like Luepke. I think he gives you something unique.
