Practice Squad Joe Milton Signed to Practice Squad

I’m sure you’d agree that results matter.

honestly, can’t tell the brilliant result here. They saved $2mm potentially and exposed a QB that apparently no one else wants? Or did they secure the guy who has lots of talent …only to expose him to any team that wants him because he’s on the practice squad?

the only way this makes any sense is if Milton is fool’s gold. If so, why keep him on the 53, cut him and then bring him back just in case? Nothing about this screams “brilliant”. I just don’t consider counterintuitive moves with no end game as “results” and “brilliant”.

In case there's an injury? Even if he's not brought up and taken to games, if we lose a QB then we need a backup.

Doesn’t he have to be on the 53 before game day? The emergency QB can’t be one of the players activated from the PS before the game starts.

He’s basically the scout QB.

I agree. Joe looks better than he ever has.

But Dallas didn’t turn down a trade in order to release him instead (that would be insane).

And Joe didn’t turn down an active roster spot on another team in order to join the Dallas PS (that would be insane as well).

They valued the scrub RB3 more than Milton.

Yup.

Agree.

Nothing about it makes sense.

They have to move him back to the 53 if they want to use him for a game.

I think that was a pandemic thing. pretty sure the main rule is that if you poach them you have to keep them on your 53 man for three weeks

I think they changed it or it was always that they have to pay them the three weeks.

Whether they keep him on the roster or not (I believe that's how it works but could be wrong. I've been wrong before and will be wrong again. LOL)

Milton still cannot read even the vanilla defenses of preseason. His athleticism allowed him to avoid a few sacks and make some plays. But that is not how the offense is supposed to run and is not sustainable. He also showed that he still can miss the easy throws and airmail over the middle throws. He looked good compared to last season when he was completely inept, but too much has been put into this team to put it in his hands if Dak goes down. Howell’s style is similar to Dak’s. He can read the defense, see the blitz, and pass from the pocket. He is the best choice to keep the offense in some level of consistency. I hope Milton continues to develop, but I wasn’t going to lose any sleep over someone else signing him. Fans here value him more than 31 other teams, including some carrying 3-4 QBs on their 53 currently. They could have dropped the worst QB on their roster to put Milton on as their third stringer, but no one did. I’m sure it was sobering for Milton, but it is what it is.

Well said.

Bluntly, Milton is irrelevant.

Yes, they have to keep them on their 53 man roster for three weeks and the player is guaranteed to make at least the league minimum for those three weeks.

"right"? is the strategy right or do you just applaud counterintuitive moves as brilliant?

Do you know for sure the exact way it should be done? About a player you actually know nothing about? Milton obviously has no value, you were wrong, and you still bash the boys for it. Unbelievable.

Where did I use the term brilliant? You were wrong about Milton and you have a hard time admitting it.

Wrong? How so? I was only wrong in that I didn't think he would not be picked up. YOU are a Dak stan who thought Milton was garbage...and he by all accounts threatened a veteran who has tons of experience for the #2 job.

No one knows "for sure". Adult questions only please.
