00:00He is. He is not a quarterback. He is a gadget player. That's the way that I look at trailing
00:19because nothing's on target. It's even when it's not high, it's off. It's behind guys.
00:24It's too far in front. And then the times yesterday when he put it on the money, racy
00:28mcmath or somebody was dropping it. Don't look at the numbers. You may already be studying
00:33the box score. How many yards per pass? I saw this 4.2. You look. No, I didn't. 4.6
00:42on 25 of 41. I would not have thought it was that bad though. At 4.641 attempts to throw
00:49for less than 190 yards is that is, uh, I mean, look, there's a, there's an element
00:55to like, not, you know, pre Amari Cooper DAC year where they would have like, he went,
01:00he went like eight, 10 games without throwing for 200 yards. Yeah. This is before Mari Cooper
01:06got there. Uh, it was, there was an element like, and then there's like, you'll back this,
01:10this is honestly quite frankly, this is what backup quarterbacks do. Backup quarterbacks
01:14come in and they're just check down guys. So for all the Trey Lance fans in the off
01:18season on the Franklin and Franco injury attorney text line, I want to see if you are willing
01:24to pump slam on the, forget pumping the brakes, slam it on the brakes. Like apparently you
01:30have to do a five 30 in DFW traffic, which I haven't known for 15 years and say, okay,
01:36Dak, go ahead and take your money up that check total or Cooper rush is the number two
01:43on this football team to start off. Look, there's a little bit of a, I don't know, maybe
01:48we'll call it a DAC derangement syndrome. There's a little bit of that that exists.
01:53Where would you hear the original comment? I mean, I just made that up, but there's a
01:55little bit of that that exists because yesterday I had five separate tweets by the end of the
02:01game going in your face. See, you said Trey Lance suck. I was like, okay, first off, I
02:07never said he sucked. I never used those words. Ultimately. That's what I'm describing, but
02:12that's not the words that he's, but the, there were a lot of people yesterday who came out
02:15of that game. We're like, see, this is why Trey Lance is we got to grow this. Look at
02:19this is, and you do forget, this is still like your four, your five, like this, your
02:23five for him. And you may not still want to resign no matter what Trey Lance does out
02:28there. You still don't want to resign Dak because you just don't believe he can get
02:32you far enough, but you at least have to admit right now that Trey Lance is not the answer
02:38to replace him. It's got nothing to do with Trey, whether, if you want or not, if you
02:41want to move on from Dak fine, but that decision is completely separate from Trey
02:49Lance. Now I'll tell you this. You're right. Cooper Rush the two right now. I don't want
02:55to see Cooper Rush the rest of the preseason. Nope. I know. I know what Cooper Rush has.
02:59Yeah. I know. Let Trey play the one thing he doesn't have and he can't get once the
03:06regular season starts is his reps. Yeah. Let him take all the snaps. I don't, that doesn't
03:10bother. It doesn't bother. These games don't matter anyway. Let him play.
