Patriots Player Departure BREAKING: Joe Milton traded to Dallas

[doesntmatter1]

I'd rather trade Dugger for nothing.

I don't think enough people understand just how bad the scenario was last season with the coaching and organization dysfunction.... To have a 22 year old come in with no OL, no OC, no HC and do what he was able to was just utterly impressive. Most rookies would have folded. His potential is top 5.. Drake works his ass off and wants to be great.

He now has the coaching to help him be on his way..

I totally get how bad the coaching staff was. However I’m not going too state 100 percent that Maye will be great or stop throwing picks. I’m probably 90 percent on the side he will because of the new coaching staff. This morning I read on the Athletic Pats section last season draft analysis on Maye, number one concern at UNC was he was wreckless with the ball. I’m sure Josh and Vrabel have already had this discussion with him.

i still can't believe they refused a better offer. unreal !

Lol'z.

A 5th. Even I thought a 4th. Milton and 7th for a 5th.

Guess none of us know what the hell we are talking about when it comes to the value of a backup QB.

Agreed, they should've gotten a fourth for him. What I don't get is kicking in s seventh, as if they needed to sweeten the pot.

 

[MrTibbs]

A handful of his picks were bobbled catches or tips.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

STUPID!!!

Career wins Milton -1 Maye-1

That’s right, Milton won as many games as Maye. Milton has all the talent in the world! He will be a star!!!

I really wanted to trade him as part of a package to possibly move UP in the draft to a QB needy team. Turned out we traded him for nothing.

 

[Grogan14]

Dallas seems to value him!
He is their new backup qb.
How much is a backup qb worth?

Because he'll be throwing more, he may throw more picks in 2025 but I'm pretty confident his INT % will decrease. He threw a pick once every 34 pass attempts which is not great. If he can get to 10 INTs for 500 attempts that would be spectacular.

I agree. I thought Milton and a 7th for a 4th and a 6th. Clearly, I also do not know what I am talking about.

Your right. The TOs were an issue and Drake even acknowledged himself saying he was trying to hard to make a play... that's one of the many things I love about the guy his abilities to recognize his faults and take accountability..not go cry in his locker like another former QB we had...

Vrabel and his presence just gives us the fans.. so much confidence.. as Jules was saying that Drake is probably glued to Josh and watching every TB12 film study on him.. I'll say I wouldn't be surprised at all if we are talking by next seasons end with Drake being in the top 10 conversation...

 

[BadMoFo]

He was the 193rd pick last year and this year he's only worth the 174th pick?

 

[Patstopia]

Sounds like a Krafty trade to his buddy.

 

[Real fan 02]

Milton is a #3 QB. You take what they got for him in a trade every single time.

I appreciate your post SB1.. Davios on me!

What do you think the better offer was? If it’s a 4th, that’s insane to pass up over Dallas’ offer. But what if the better offer was the Eagles’ 5th rounder (Schultz said they were an interested team) at 168 versus the actual Dallas 5th round compensatory pick at 171? Is it really worth getting worked up about that difference? Until we know what the offer was, I’m going to pause judgement on that aspect.

And we e gave back a seventh too.

Essentially looks like they just wanted him gone . Terrible trade . Just looks like a desperate measure where you want to discard a player even to the detriment of team.

 

[PaulThePat]

Looks like the "Vrabes" honeymoon period is over. PatsFans is in uproar. Not seen anything like this level of fury since Zappe was cut. Vrabel is on a warning.
