Would you Trade Milton?

QBs don’t grow on trees.

He looks like he is finding rhythm with the offense. That could come essential if Dak goes down (knocks on wood) in December or November and Dallas has a good record.

On today’s PC from Schotty.
He said still a close race between Milton and Howell. Not ready to make a decision on QB 2.
Howell slightly ahead of Milton which was why they started him in game 1.

The way the board has erupted, you'd think many draft picks would be coming our way for the QB's.

No, I disagree. I think many of us just feel like we have a pretty good backup with Milton and don't believe we'll get a better one if we trade him for a position of need. Not sure I'm right, but Howell doesn't look quite as good to me as Milton has... but I could be wrong.

Howell has played a lot more NFL football than Milton. He was thrown to the wolves by Washington. Frankly, that means something more to me than a raggedy pre-season game against a terrible 3rd row Cardinals team.

Good point. Probably never.

Right. These were top end coaches too. Dick Vermeil and Belichick. We can add Bill Parcells to the mix. Had Bledsoe not pissed him off, when does Romo come in? Romo was raw, but he was still better than Bledsoe at that time.

I'm crossing my fingers with Milton. But I'll believe it when I see it in a game that counts. But I'm glad he's doing well in preseason. Because if he's sucking there, there is no hope.

Or he might. Dak is damaged goods. Look at his EVEN years.

2019 Played 16+ games
2020 Missed 5+ games
2021 Played 16+ games
2022 Missed 5+ games
2023 Played 16+ games
2024 Missed 5+ games
2025 Played 16+ games
2026 uhh ohh...

Sure. I'm just saying. If he doesn't get hurt, I doubt we ever see Milton. Even if Dak gets hurt for a few games, and provided Milton looks good, we probably still trade him. Dallas isn't paying two QBs, and Dak has too big of a dead cap.

Some aren’t really an option to trade but in general I agree. And if a nice offer came for Milton I’d trade him. He’s played solid in pre season but do you want to pay him like a starter before he proves he can be a starter? He’s got one year after this and you gotta pay him. The right offer I’d take in a heartbeat
 
It's more than obvious that Joe Milton is making incredible progress at this point in time. Those who are considering trading Milton at this point in his career, while he's making such headway are not thinking logically, from the looks of it. Let's give him credit for his improvement and make the most of it. Joe Milton is improving in every way that matters at this point. Trading him now would be foolish, imho. Prescott could easily be injured, and Milton could be right there to prevent disaster. Think it over.

Not unless a team is willing to give us a very favorable deal, as he is worth too much as a backup at the moment. And by very favorable I am talking a 1 rd and a player , minimum. If they don't want to do that, fine, we need him.
 
My prediction is that we keep Milton and Jerry tries to use him as leverage with Dak. In principle we could walk away from Dak after 2027, which is when Milton's contract expires. So a lot happens between now and then, but I do think Jerry is tired of Dak having all the leverage in contract negotiations, so having a viable backup plan could be desirable.

Or, it's just preseason and no judgment can be made at this time.

It's fair to say. I'm just going by what my eyes tell me at this juncture. The difference between before and now is nothing but extraordinary. Forgive me for being excited about this guy and his progress.

Here's to looking forward to seeing more from him. I hope and pray that he's heading for success.
I can't wait to see what the future has in store for him. This team is way overdue for good fortune.

What has Milton shown that the decision to move off of Dak asap, is imminent? I think this board had the same discussion when that 9ers QB was traded here, and he was the 2nd coming of Roger S. Milton is anything but leverage in regards to what Dak has brought to this team; at this point he is possibly a competent security blanket, which could be important given Dak's age...which, by the way he hasn't shown many signs of breaking down. If Dak gets hurt and Joe needs to play a significant part of the season and impresses.....then the discussion could change

I wouldn't call 2 full seasons from now imminent. If I was Jerry, I just wouldn't trade Milton because he has been unhappy about the Dak negotiations each time. So whatever leverage he can have the better.

The problem is that Joe Milton is not leverage against Dak...or anybody else, for that matter. Each time Dak's contracts were due, there were plenty of other options to turn to at QB, but he stuck with him through thick and thin
 
Honest answer.. NO! I firmly believe Milton is the guy we need right now to make the big jump to the Super Bowl. Think about it for a second- When you draft a QB in the first round, even then there is a learning curb, and that selection may or may not turn out. Where we sit right now, and I mean right this second- Joe Milton looks like a first round pick QB with so much upside it's almost crazy. So, NO! You don't trade Milton when you got a Qb under center who needs everything to go perfect to win in the playoffs... Joe Milton, is Dak's successor, and I guarantee you that the front office and most of the team sees it... Joe Miltons do not grow on trees, it's Cowboys luck if you ask me, no one luckier then the boys when it comes to getting diamonds in the rough at the QB position...
