Part 7/8:
Lance's final season with the 49ers may have been his most critical, yet it was defined by the shadow of his predecessor. Kyle Shanahan's comments during the 2023 preseason indicated the lack of faith in Lance despite Purdy recovering from elbow surgery. The team’s decision to trade Lance to the Dallas Cowboys for a fourth-round pick indicated their desire to cut ties and reassess their quarterback strategy.
His journey continued in Dallas, illustrating a turbulent relationship with success. Despite showing flashes of promise in the preseason, over-extended decisions often overshadowed his potential. Now, ranked third on the Cowboys' depth chart, Lance's future remains uncertain as he navigates yet another uphill battle to reclaim his once-promising career.
