Joe Milton to Eagles Active Roster

[Reverend Conehead]

Crap. I wanted to keep that guy around. All the best to him.

 

[Crazed Liotta Eyes]

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.

This sums it up. He is not some future star. Sure, he could light up Dallas but who couldn't right now.

 

[Jarntt]

Funny, many were hoping for this here. Could you imagine

 

[Wichitaleafs]

Mark it down he gonna torch the cowboys

 

[BHendri5]

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.

Who cares he was a scrub

 

[triplets_93]

Wish him the best just not against us lol

I wish him the best.

For a QB, he can do a helluva backflip and could probably overthrow a government by himself. This is a desperate move by the Eagles but an understandable one given the situation. Sorry to hear about Jalen.

Milton to Blue …TD !

The Cowboys must be Philly’s new farm team .

 

[DarkVader33]

Our backup QB better be ready!!!!!!!

He shouldn’t be ready regardless?

 

[lane]

Thank god

 

[DarkVader33]

Will give the secrets to our D

I think everyone knows them already. Lol

 

[DarkVader33]

Nobody is worried about the Cowboys pkaybook. Joe can play, hes not a Cowboy to keep Sam Freaken Howell. Just Wow

He obviously can’t play. That’s why he was on the PS for 5 weeks and no one poached him.

 

[DarkVader33]

We needed a backup quarterback, obviously another division rival thinks he’s pretty good

He wouldn’t be an emergency QB if he was any good. He’d at least be the backup.

 

[vig454]

Watch him go play better than Dak and we find out we should have kept him.

 

[kskboys]

Anyone start the suicide watch for the Milton fans?

Oh, so that's why they picked him up when we put him on waivers before the season.

You guys......listen, players from PS's get picked up frequently when someone gets injured. This is nothing more than an injury pickup because Hurts is hurt.

 

[kskboys]

Absolutely, care, I predict he is going to be an outstanding quarterback eventually

Then he better hurry. And find a starting job, as he's just a backup for the Eagles. And find a team that values him, as no NFL team thought much of him as he passed through waivers.

Do you have any reasoning for this belief, BTW? Sorta comes out of left field to tell the truth.

I think its Roseman first move to tank the season and move on from Hurts. I said in another thread that if they lose 2-3 of their next few games, he may shut Hurts down for the season. There were already questions about whether this would be his last season in Philly anyway. This injury and a possible losing season add fuel to the rumor.

Sidenote......I could see him with the Steelers or Bucs next season

Yep, no kidding

He beat the Buffalo Bills, while playing in New England, the kid has talent, he just needs to be a little bit more intelligent about it
