quiller Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Business as usual in NFL Denver giving away Gregory to SF. SF gets Gregory and a 7th round pick for a 6th round pick. If we had come calling the price probably was a fourth or higher straight up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real answer could be something from the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one that really popped into my head is at Seattle 2014. Dallas had the pieces in place, but needed a signature win. This was it. That win changed my entire perception of the team. Even had they lost that game in close affair, you could sense they had a good thing going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 3 sacks since he left, and I saw a Broncos fan post that he was atrocious against the run.

If Lance should turn out to be a top 5 QB in this league and lead us to a title, can anyone really say we didn't steal this guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he was a top pick but a top pick who couldn’t make it with the team that drafted him. Very few if any 1st round QB’s failed with the team that drafted them and latter made it big with another team all Gregory has to do is go out there 5-6 times a game on passing downs where he only worries about getting after the QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't make it with SF because he got injured. When Purdy got his shot, he immediately clicked. Lance never really got a fair shake due to injury and freak luck that Purdy would be this good. As for QBs that never made it with the team that drafted them and then went on to a number 1 role with another team, and even won a SB, ever hear of these guys?

Green Bay 2016 was similar. Both games were different feel to me than this. Where those games were exciting, “let’s see if this team is for real”, this game feels like “we know we’re good, now we’ll know of we’re good enough”. And the history of these two teams (both recent and distant), just amps it up by a lot, too.

Yea and all these were a long time ago when it was the norm to draft a QB then let him sit around a year plus before even making the field. And also to be fair we as Dallas fans would not be happy with a Differ or Johnson as our starting QB based on the heat Dak is getting. Any way I guess I am just a bit jaded in this as I don’t understand the potential love for Lance. I understand last year injuries killed him but man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF just has our number and I would be surprised if the defense has as good of a game in store for us as they put out in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way I guess I am just a bit jaded in this as I don’t understand the potential love for Lance. I understand last year injuries killed him but man The "potential love" is something us old heads referred to PEDIGREE. In other words, QBs that are drafted in the top 10 of the 1st round have the "pedigree." Scouts believe they have all the tools to lead a team to a title. Now, clearly this is not always the case. You can point at a number of 1st round busts from Jeff George to Jamarcus Russell. Then you have your 6th round Tom Bradys. But ask yourself this question, if you were building a football team, would you prefer a QB taken numer 3 overall in the 1st round or a comp pick in the 4th round? That is the buzz about Trey Lance.
