Trey Lance Struggles in Preseason Finale

Trey Lance faced a challenging outing in the Dallas Cowboys' final preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, throwing five interceptions and finishing with a 52.9 passer rating in a 26-19 loss. Despite his struggles, which included three interceptions in the final quarter, he showcased his athletic potential with 323 passing yards and 90 rushing yards, including a touchdown. Analysts, including Emory Hunt and Ryan Wilson, suggested that Lance would benefit from more playing time in developmental leagues to refine his skills, as his current role behind Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush limits his growth. Robert Griffin III viewed Lance's dual-threat capabilities positively, arguing that he needs play designs that suit his skills rather than those of a traditional pocket passer. Nonetheless, there are concerns about his decision-making, which has plagued him since college. As the Cowboys prepare for the season, Lance remains third on the quarterback depth chart, facing uncertainty about his future with the team after the upcoming season.
