Detailed Milton nugget from QB coach Shimko

[Mikexike]

Maybe the stupid part is that we never really drafted anyone to develope?

That's the teams biggest failure all these years.

the mightiest in the seven seas! Communicatin' like a parrot, learnin' from Dak an' crew. Ceiling high as the mainmast, growin' smarter with every rep, work ethic unmatched, IQ sharp as a cutlass. He spies the big picture but be learnin' t' handle unscouted storms—next time, he strikes gold! Shiver me timbers, the lad's a risin' buccaneer!

We trade him already?

Shame.

Good read... oh, wow... trying to contain my excitement but IF he can get the mental part down.......look out

I wouldn’t be getting too excited about what a QB coach said about him. He was a sixth round pick who New England gave up on after only one season. Our coaches are going to say positive things about him. If he ever gets into a few regular season games, that’s when we’ll find out about him.

Ahh, the legendary Steve Shimko.

Im all in.

He's good

 

[phildadon86]

Damn over Pickens?

Its close, but yes. Milton is young and has years left. Pickens is on a one year deal basically. If he has a great year, they cant afford him.

So Milton wins for me.

Not really, but it makes the top 100 list for sure.

You're radically underestimating Jerrys failures.

 

[KJJ]

This was my favourite move of the off season. I wanted us to draft him.

You actually liked the move for Milton better than Pickens?

But, but ... hes Steve Shimko.

If Pickens has a great year they’ll pay him unless he gives us trouble or demands WR1 money. They didn’t make that trade for one year. Not sure why anyone would be more excited about a move for a backup QB than a starting WR who has great playmaking ability.

QB controversy before EOY…..probably

The top card for next years camp is 84 year old Jerry vs Pickens on the tag. Jerry promises to have more stories about peeing on his own leg and how things were done forty years ago.

Tune in. Tickets available soon.

It's just about game time for Joe Milton and this preseason is indeed a chance for him to develop some much necessary skills that only come through starting reps.
Milton will be seeing plenty starting Saturday, looking forward to watching him vs real time game speed.

If he has a great year, you dont think he'll want to be paid like a number one?

I mean, he seems like a mature, reasonable fella, but you never know.

How did Dak get his start again?

4th round pick. Romo injury. Never gave the job back.

Milton IMO is much better than Dak coming out of college. (NOT NOW) before you bite my head off.

Because it gives us a glimpse into the future of life after Dak. Sorry to break it to you, the chances of Milton playing this year in the regular season are pretty high. Pickens is going to want WR1 money. I would bet a lot on that.

We drafted Mike White and Ben DiNucci. Both didn’t develop. We traded a fourth round pick for Trey Lance and he didn’t develop. All those QBs lost out to Cooper Rush.

it has been turrrrible....

 

[Coogiguy03]

Sounds more ready and developing than Lance was

 

[reddyuta]

People kept telling me “oh Ravens got him so they know what they are doing”…..I don’t get the move now or then.

seriously !! this is such a strange move ,how do you go from Lamar Jackson to Cooper Rush? its hard to find 2 very different QBs and that is tough on an offense.

 

[KJJ]

I mean, he seems like a mature, reasonable fella, but you never know.

Not if he wants to remain with the team. He understands CeeDee is one of the highest paid players in the league. If we pay Parsons the team would have to move on from Pickens if his contract demands are unreasonable. If he’s producing and likes being here he won’t get overly greedy. No assurances another team would pay him what he’s asking. Number one WR money is in the $28 million dollar range. He can’t be unreasonable enough to think we can pay 2 WRs‘s number one money.

 

[stilltheguru]

I’d rather have Will Grier then Rush.

It wouldn't be because of who the better qb is. Must be for other reasons
