RELEASED Cowboys release Joe Milton; added to PS

[kskboys]

Yeah well you're not watching!! Anyways back to football

Hey, Cooglepuff, we got a new name for you!!!!!!

 

[Risen Star]

I am still trying to make sense of this.

I am still trying to make sense of this.

Easy peasy.

Both are strictly backup types. Both are athletic w/ good arms. Howell has starting experience and has been better at learning the playbook and going through progressions.

It's actually really easy when you focus on facts and ignore hysteria and hoopla.

Looks like the Cowboys went with the "Win now" approach over potential upside





"It was the decision that was made begrudgingly and painstakingly by the Cowboys. They liked the progress and development Milton has made over the last year and were excited about his performance during the preseason.

Howell, however, has been more consistent since the start of offseason and training camp. He doesn't have Milton's upside in terms of athleticism and arm talent but he is guy they trust more to win games if something happened to Prescott."

On bringing in Howell, Shotty said, "I think it probably got his attention, but to be fair to Joe, this is not the easiest system to learn. We ask a lot of our players, certainly the quarterback position. We are a volume type offense… He's in a much different place right now, talking about Joe, in terms of his understanding of what we do."

Sounds like he's physically talented only.

So Howell has The Minds Of a Tom Brady? Got It Shotty...

Funny, but Howell prolly has more upside. Yes, Milton has a cannon and is athletic, but so is Howell. And Howell is a better overall passer than Milton.

Where do people come up with this?

What quantifiable data suggest that Milton has more athleticism?

Joe has never out rushed Sam at any level.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Their trials are intriguing.all of them rats lol.

Lol lol lol they need to be in Green Bay, plenty of CHEESE there lol

Yeah, that that that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeebus so you know you they are too???

Hey, Cooglepuff, we got a new name for you!!!!!!

Not WE, it's you, you're the only one that's qualified!! You've earned your rights over the years Bud!


The names they have for me let's just say they can't say them without being punished lol

 

[kskboys]

Lol lol lol they need to be in Green Bay, plenty of CHEESE there lol

Coocoo for Cooglepuffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BadLieutenant]

Sounds like Milton is believing his own hype and thinks the league is just slobbering all over themselves to get him.

My gut is, he'll find out otherwise and end up on our practice squad anyway.

Is it possible

Rabid Bazooka Joe fans, I guess.

 

[Catpappy]

The backups first name could only have 3 letters. I like the kid.

 

[eromeopolk]

What an odd move.

Jerry Dumbo GM Jones.

 

[kskboys]

And then the real question. Is this decision even all that relevant? It's not like we have 2 game changers on our hand.

I don’t understand why they couldn’t do both. Play for this year AND develop Milton for the future.

It’s relevant because we are not trying to develop a QB in the same way Green Bay does or other teams do.

Jerry Dumbo GM Jones.

You really think this was his idea?

silly, there were other fringe players they could have cut if they thought he had long term potential - you dont cut a potential future starting qb to keep a 6th WR or 7 CB....i dont buy it

 

[Gambit]

Another wasted 3rd-day pick on a non-factor QB.

Wasted a 4th on Lance and now a 5th on Milton.

Plan is to put him on practice squad. They tried to time it so he could.

 

[Kingofholland]

Very odd and surprising move, unless Milton asked for his release.
