TRADED Cowboys trade for Joe Milton

Well, with only Grier as a backup, Milton should get every opportunity to show if he deserves a chance. They have three years to audition him before having to decide what to do. I doubt they will be paying another pile to Dak.

Not another pile, the same one.

Milton’s roookie deal expires at the same time when you can realistically part ways with Dak, after year three.

At that point Milton has either proven himself now you’ve gotta pay him, or he hasn’t played and gotten the reps he needed to develop. Not sure I see a middle that makes it make sense.

But hey I’ve seen Jerry throw away higher picks for less. Then Stephen wants to fill every hole with draft picks. Does anything really feel as if it’s aligned toward something that makes sense?

I looked back after at first just paying attention to the numbers he had in that regular-season finale. His preseason numbers weren't very good. Seemed to back why he wasn't drafted until the sixth round. Excellent arm but accuracy isn't great. When he makes a throw, it might wow you, but then he misses throws a QB has to make.

Maybe the finale performance already showed he's grown in that regard. It's not a bad trade because you can't teach arm strength and this QB class isn't overwhelming. We were going to spend a pick on one anyway but now we didn't really. We just essentially traded down.

His season finale performance against Buffalo definitely got the attention of some teams. It made him tradable. He appears to be have more potential than the other young QBs we’ve brought in the past few years.
 
This is the first time this off-season I've been compelled to post.

This is a SOLID move. I watch a fair amount of SEC ball, and Milton has a LOT of upside. His physical traits alone are worth a look, but he is a legit dual threat. He has guts for days, too.

It's not a plan at all to trade for a developmental QB with whom you have neither the staff to develop him nor the time it takes for him to develop to be ready to start.

AND he just might plain suck in general which is where I'm leaning.
So there's that too.

Cowboys!

I’d honestly really love for it to add up, but timing-wise it feels a lot like the Lance situation.

Three years from now, you’re either exactly where we are now with Lance, or he got the shot to ball out and did, and he has offers and you’ve gotta pay him.

Ideally you want at least a year of overlap with the new QB rookie deal. In this case it’s negative one.

Plus he needs to PLAY.

Yeah, it may have been a once-in-a-lifetime performance coming against the Bills backups, but teams had good reason to like what they saw.

I don't know, three years to take a look on a late-round rookie deal doesn't bother me. If we don't have any idea whether we want to move forward with him at that point, we've done an even poorer job than we did with Lance at evaluating the player.

Yeah, why? Why do you ask why? Any player that daddy Jones signs you fall in love with.

I asked why because it was an ignorant thing to say because Milton is clearly better than any player on the board at 171. If you think that you are ignorant too.

Additionally bro...
Jim Shimko, the current Dallas Cowboys QB coach, is not exactly of the Reid, McVay, Callahan, Payton tree of mentoring modern day NFL passing games.

So before you can even talk about the development of Milton you gotta at least have someone on staff competent enough to teach him proper passing concepts.

There's no one on staff to do that.

Based on what? A team with no QB was happy to let him go for a 5th. The rest of the league doesn't seem to share your opinion.

Why was NE determined to get rid of him even for peanuts ??
Why no other team wanted him enough to outbid cap boy, the cheapest guy in the NFL? LOL

Because NE was satisfied with Drake Maye as the future starting QB and did not have enough room for a developmental project.
