Joe Milton "Not a Good Dude" According to Patriots Insider?

[Hawkeye0202]

He has zero chance to beat out Grier in a legit competition for backup QB, much less replace Dak, even if for only a game.

This is quite a statement T..........are you serious?

 

[Stash]

Giving away the player? The Patriots drafted him in the 6th and received a 5th for him.. Good return for the Patriots for a 3rd string scrub QB..

Don’t forget that they also gave the Cowboys a 7th round pick.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Or he knows Dak will not last more than 6 games this year ...... like many of us.

And he has a chance to step into a role bc he knows Dak is on his last leg

I dont get the love for Grier

 

[erod]

He can’t throw.

Neither can Dak.

 

[dupree89]

I dont get the love for Grier

thank you. I feel the same. The guy is 30 and has appeared in 2 regular season games in his career. And they were, when? 2019?

 

[SwagSurfer]

Luckily for him he's the backup qb for the last chance Cowboys.

Any competitor should understand Milton’s side.

He wanted a shot.

All I heard last training camp was Milton looked better than Maye.

Hopefully, Milton has improved from his college strengths and weaknesses. I do not know anything about him.

Strengths:​

• Generation arm talent. Has an RPG attached to his shoulder
• Prototypical QB build. Tall enough to see the field, sturdy enough to absorb contact
• Explosive & powerful athelte that delivers punishing blows to LBs in the open field
• Excellent drive velocity. The ball teleports from his hand to the WR
• Has the athletic traits to convert to TE
• Showed some clever pocket manipulation & improved footwork sliding away from pressure.
• Doesn't need to set his feet to launch the ball 60 yards

Weaknesses:​

• Ball placement is unpredictable at every level of the field
• Played in a gimmicky offense that only asked him to read half of the field
• Poor field vision & awareness when throwing in-breaking routes
• Mis-identifies/ignores safeties waiting to break on routes over the middle
• Still a project after 6 years in college
• One-speed passer. Struggles to adjust velocity or throw with touch

You can’t ask for a better lottery ticket and all the Cowboys did was trade down 30 spots for him. Generational arm talent, 6’5, and can run is fine for a backup quarterback with his warts. Who knows he could be Jordan Love or the LSU quarterback the Raiders drafted at #1 back in the day.

Don’t forget that they also gave the Cowboys a 7th round pick.

Yes. The picks were only 46 picks apart (Cowboys Compensatory 5th (#171) for NE's 7th (#217)). So the cowboys get Milton for dropping down a little over a round on day 3. Time will tell, but right now it Looks like a great deal for the Cowboys

 

[Zekeats]

It was one New England player saying that he wanted to compete for Drake Mayes job. So I’m not sure how that’s not being good dude. Just like here, you just can’t make everybody happy, so why even try

He's going to make Dak cry

 

[Zekeats]

Milton was not going to sit behind another rookie, for five seasons. And sit there and be happy about it. I wouldn’t be in neither. Would anybody else with their right mind. I actually think he’s better than Drake. New England was second-guessing, even drafting Drake.

I think he's better than Dak

 

[baltcowboy]

I think he's better than Dak

Slow Milton’s role. Let him beat out Grier first.

 

[gimmesix]

He's going to make Dak cry

Is he going to throw the ball at him?

I guess Dak is lucky that if he does, there's only a 50/50 chance that Milton will hit him.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Slow Milton’s role. Let him beat out Grier first.

Rush and Lance gone. Replaced with Grier and Milton. If Dak goes down again Jerry is making sure the Cowboys lose every game left in the season. Jerry might not be quite as stupid as he seems.

Giving away the player? The Patriots drafted him in the 6th and received a 5th for him.. Good return for the Patriots for a 3rd string scrub QB..

They traded him for trading up ~40 spots. Late in what was considered a very weak draft. That's as close to "giving away" as it gets.

 

[TNCowboy]

This is quite a statement T..........are you serious?

He could not even run UT's simple offense. They had to dumb it down to mostly running draw plays and WR screens because he has no idea what he's looking at. He would literally go entire games without a pass to the middle of the field because his coaches couldn't trust him. The sort of things you might expect of a freshman, not a 24 year old 6th year senior in his 3rd season in the same system.

There's no hyperbole. He can't play. He has no chance to beat out Will Grier. What he can do is when Stephen & Jerry see him in shorts and a tank top, bigger than most of our Defensive Ends, and he throws a ball 90 yards, they'll be like, oh, yeah, we gotta keep this kid. Because they run their team like a social media influencer, more concerned eyeballs than wins.

 

[Sarge]

The thought of Milton competing for the QB1 is like thinking Mingo can compete with CeeDee for WR1.. It's crazy

“Anyone” doesn’t necessarily mean Milton.

 

[cowboyed]

And Dak is here. So is he really in that much better a spot?

Considering how injury prone Dak has been the past several years he certainly would be in a better spot. I am sure the head coach and upper management took that into consideration and addressed it with Milton if that was a tangible issue.

 

[Kwyn]

Exactly.

Cowboys receive: Milton and #217 (Jay Toia)

Patriots receive: #171(Miles Frazier)
