Ryans isn't going to lose his job if Lance sucks and will get another crack at really solving the QB position. Or they could have just drafted Bryce Young, the QB staring them in the face at 2. I think its pretty ridiculous to pass on a QB because he's "too small that he will get hurt" and then turn around and trade for a QB that is literally hurt. 2 more years of cost effective contract control with Young, better program pedigree, significantly more experience in college. Trey Lance has never produced at a level anywhere close to what Bryce Young has shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better when you don't have to trade up and still land him at 4! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trey Lance has never produced at a level anywhere close to what Bryce Young has shown. Who said I didn't want Bryce Young because he was an injury risk or injury prone. Go take a look. I'll wait. We literally have the coach who worked with Trey Lance as our OC. You don't think he has a rapport with Lance? The Texans have been working on a Lance trade duringTCMD and before today's selection. It just happen to come to fruition today. I personally like Lance as a better prospect at long-term QB. That's just my opinion. Also, are you related to BY or something? You're taking this real personal... Edited April 3, 2023 by jch1911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coming from the team that STILL has Brian Cushing working in our performance staff. Hey... he did win Rookie of the Year 2X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4 game sample (one in a bad rain storm) certainly isn't enough to make the final determination. It's crazy to me that people act like QBs just don't develop at all. I'm not bullish on his long term outlook, but that's more based on a pragmatic look at the situation that will play out as opposed to his actual skill (He's either behind Purdy or has him breathing down his neck if he stays in SF, so won't get the chance to go through his ups and downs, or he gets moved and the team that acquires him doesn't really have to tie themselves to him long term, which means he likely doesn't have any sort of extended leash that will make them want to bypass getting another QB).

The main problem with Lance is you have 1 year to decide if that 5th year option is worth picking up,where it leads you to a spot like Daniel Jones this year and you have to overpay a QB with a lot of Questions left. It would also scare the crap out of me that a GM would trade all them picks for Him then trade him to start the last pick in the draft.

I have Witherspoon #2 behind Gonzalez, and that's purely combine based. I watched a lot of Illinois this year for him and the Brown brothers, and I love this kid's play style. He's tough as nails and I'm praying the Eagles grab him...he would be an instant fan favorite for years to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was seriously overdrafted, and now he’s injury prone. He sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda with you here. I don't think the Texans gave up a lot to see what Lance has. I mean if he really, truly fails then walk away and start over with maybe getting Maye or Caleb in 2024. It's an interesting risk here. Personally I was never on the Lance train and would have gone the Young route, but I get the idea behind this at least. I've been wrong plenty of times before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
