Of the four quarterbacks drafted in the first round in 2021, only Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence had his fifth-year option exercised.
A reminder about this season’s QB class and
glad for the Lions to have gotten Hendon Hooker in Rd 3.

How did NFL people get this so wrong?
Does the guy just have a shit attitude and/or work ethic? Was the talent simply not there? Or is it something else?

I said no from Day 1, he played college ball on an All Star team that a whole lot of guys would have looked good playing QB. Old thread here, I was never on board…
Trey Lance in 2020, 15-30 with 1 int for 149 yards. Against, apparently, a very improved Central Arkansas. His average per pass was 5 yards. This is the last game he played in, and it was at home. So, he had more int’s in 2020 than in 2019 even though he only played in 1 game. There is no way he should be taken in the first round. Wherever he goes he’s going to need to sit for a year and if teams rush him …good luck. WHY he’s a lock in the first just shows how desperate teams are for QB’s, because he doesn’t have the goods.

He was raw, inexperienced, and playing against a lower level of competition.
His Character grades were off the charts high…
He did come from inferior competition, took a year off, and then basically had a leg amputated when he saw nfl action…
I knew he was going to take a couple years of development after the injury before you would know anything about what you have. I kinda thought it was smart to put him behind Dak for a few years. Not that Dak is the intellectual to pass on knowledge. He is still a similar style qb to mentor him.

He’ll always have that 60 yard td pass in preseason…

Sort of like David Kircus’s one TD catch in the NFL from Joey Harrington in 2004 against the Cowboys;
Starts at the 1:41-1:42 mark. Also, show a nice pick six by Dre Bly, followed by horrible Lions defense.
Nothing like watching Vinny Testaverde leave the retirement home to light up our sorry-ass defense in the air and on the ground. He was so damn old that he probably used his dentures as a mouth guard and depends as athletic supporters.
Remind me why the Cowboys traded for him again?
bring him in cheap AF, develop him into a super star…trade him to an AFC team for 2 firsts and a 3rd

Haha Lance would probably return a sack of marbles, a couple baseball cards and Petey the bird in a trade…

I’d trade Goff for him straight up. Lance does not throw wobbly balls.

On average typically only 1.3-1.5 QBs in the first round end up being anything. Ie long term starters.
66 QBs have been selected in the first round since 2009.
3 Are Elite.
12 are/were Really really good
15 are average starters
9 are average backups
11 are Practice squad players
3 have been absolutely trash.
For those wondering elite
Mahomes, Burrow, Jackson,
Trash
Lance, Johnny Football, EJ Manual.
