Joe Milton to Eagles Active Roster

[erod]

So, who is our emergency #3? Jerry Jones Grandson?

Almost no teams keep three quarterbacks.

Dont get too excited - he's their emergency 3rd QB. Unlikely to get on the field.

he's throwing for at least 500 next week

Another wasted draft pick....

We've wasted FAR more than this one.

 

[Carson]

Milton + Blue. Lol

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Great opportunity for Joe. He deserves a legit shot somewhere and he wasnt going to get that here.

I said it last week and got blasted.

Joe is a better "fit" with a team that already has/has a running QB (at leats more than us anyway).

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

He's not being signed for his QB skills. Classic move to get someone who knows the Cowboys playbook....

As if they need it.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Better chance there than here. Jalen's dealing with a blood clot that can keep him out the rest of this season, maybe longer.

Is he better than their back ups, who knows.

Good on Joe but in end, it's like crying over a missed UDFA

 

[Flamma]

Jerry on the Fan made it out like Joe and his agent didn't even give them the opportunity. He signed with the eagles without telling them until it was done.

That makes zero sense. Jerry is the GM. Promote him to the active roster and the Eagles don't get him. He's acting the fool.

No way should Howell be ahead of Milton smh.

I think its an ego/approach thing with Milton. I remember hearing rumblings.

I could be a thousand percent wrong, but am searching for answers. Not to say he was all world, but the logic still confuses me. We traded a pick to develop a guy, who actually appeared to be developing, only to let him go regardless.

Im not saying this is a huge loss. I just don't understand what we were doing with Milton in general. If it is about intangibles, ego and such it would help to explain how little he appears to be valued in general.

This is where not having an experienced front office with football acumen hurts us:
We really struggle with roster construction and a vision for both sides of the ball.
We are just all over the place.
That’s 2 wasted draft picks for Lance and Milton.

Milton chomping at the bit to face this dallas defense.

 

[WoodysGirl]

 

[TNCowboy]

Milton is 26 years old, he's not some raw 21 yr old rookie. He has never shown that he has anything resembling what it takes to be an NFL QB, other than possibly the strongest arm I've ever seen. I read Mandarin as well as Joe reads defenses, which is to say not at all.

And people are still pining for him. Jones didn't waste a pick when Philly claimed Milton. Jones wasted the pick the istant he traded for Milton.

He can't play.

 

[slick325]

Makes sense.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

 

[Bullflop]

Nothing this front office does to prove their idiocy surprises me. It's incredibly inept and just bad.

 

[Asklesko]

Wish him the best just not against us lol

When he plays this defense, get ready

 

[ksadler1]

You can bet that if he ever gets a chance to play against the Cowboys he will look like Tom Brady. He's got a huge chip on his shoulder.

Almost no teams keep three quarterbacks.

On the 53? Sure. But usually there's a 3rd guy on the practice squad, similar to how Joe was here.

This year was an odd one, as 4 teams kept 4 QB's at initial 53 man roster cuts.

Joe Milton is horrible. I love that he's their backup for a while.
