RELEASED Cowboys release Joe Milton; added to PS

[CT Dal Fan]

When Howell got $2M in the off season, that indicated he was tabbed to be the backup.

Not really. Sam Williams got $2.5 million and he's gone.

The backup QB competition was super close. The Cowboys picked the guy with more consistency and game experience. Simple as that.

Milton friggin sucks

 

[Amarth]

Bwahahahaaha…and 3 weeks ago he was supposed to be the starting QB in waiting.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I'll take it over a stat padder.

Who’s the stat padder?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Milton friggin sucks

Wouldn't go that far, he's got talent, but Howell is the more trustworthy backup.

They gave Sam Williams 2.5 million.

Then you have a nice collection to choose from especially since your GM brought them here or traded for them. Good ol Jerry strikes again….

Last year, he was the worst NFL quarterback I've ever seen play. Just embarrassingly horrible. Missed guys by huge margins.

He got a bit better against 3rd stringers for Arizona.

Shotty signed Howell for a reason. He saw enough.

 

[Relayer]

Lol, imagine what that would’ve done lighting up the board

It would be Mardi gras and the summer of love all rolled into one.

 

[Relayer]

That's funny.

One last thing I want to say: looking at some of the guys Dallas cut (ahem Sam Williams, Jaydon Blue, and others), they've been guys you can't really trust to do the right thing in crucial situations.

Makes me wonder if something else was going on with Milton we don't know about. Not saying he's a bad guy or teammate. Just wondering if there was "something".

 

[CT Dal Fan]

That's funny.

Cowherd also said Josh Rosen would be the next Aaron Rodgers. Why anyone listens to this idiot escapes me. He's just a self-aggrandizing numbskull with the football IQ of a half eaten apple that only loves the sound of his own voice.

 

[Relayer]

I'd be shocked if 31 other teams pass on him. On some team they've decided "that guy" is not on their roster so why not churn.

The odds are that Joe Milton is not a franchise QB. But since he's got great upside and promise, you keep him. Just like both Belichick and Parcells kept 4 QBs in order to produce Brady and Romo. It's so lazy to have a comfy QB room and kumbaya instead of a young hungry aggressive guy who you need to corral and coach hard.

My issue is that they kept 3 QBs - a stretch given how much Dak makes and the competition at other roster spots - and then released him the next day? He was damn near the #2 a week ago and now you RELEASE him?

Make no mistake: During the season we won't be talking about the cardinals running back we picked up or the steelers scrapheap tackle we picked up. It will be our lack of options at QB when Dak gets dinged. Every year the odds go up dramatically especially given Dak's style of play. I think we are all counting our chickens before they hatch with this "GOTI" nonsense. We need to have one eye on the future. This was shortsighted IMO.

Style of play? You mean tearing the muscle near off the bone on a roll out ?

 

[StarLord]

My very initial reaction was annoyance. Seemed like a waste of resources to just let him go.

But upon further consideration, I simply do not care at all. He's not the future. Howell's not the future. There's no real difference between them except Howell has more NFL experience. Neither is able to carry us deep into the playoffs.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

My GM?

What team you root for?

 

[plymkr]

I don't know that Fisher is correct but if so wouldn't it be 24 hrs

Thanks

If we're not careful we may lose the Super Bowl.

I understand but don't get too cocky.

With Dallas sneaky moves we got this in the bag.
