Does JMIII deserve a couple of starts this year?

What does everyone think?

My hypothetical is that Maye is NOT injured, just team wants to see what JMIII has for 2-3 games.

Any chance this happens???
 
 
Yes, there's a chance if Maye and Brissett are both injured. Edit: I need to work on my reading while intoxicated skills.

If Maye can’t go because of injury then yes I’d rather see Milton over Brissett.
 
I’m shocked by the amount of people here who even consider this. They drafted Milton as a late round flyer. A guy who will maybe:
1. show something in preseason and bring more back in a trade than they spent on him
2. show something in the event Maye is injured
3. show something in the event that Maye proves to suck in 2 years

There is no universe in which your first rounder makes his first start and flashes all the potential you could hope for, and you say “**** it, put in the 6th rounder.”
Milton could see some snaps in blowouts, and if the coaching staff is going to be too scared to let Maye try to complete a drive at the end of a game, maybe they should put Milton in for those.

Not sure why you assume Maye is not injured. He came close to injury when he had his right arm twisted awkwardly when he was driven into the ground after his fumble. He was shown flexing his arm on the sidelines after that play. He dodged a bullet it wasn’t more seriously tweaked. Odds are good he’ll get dinged enough to take a seat for awhile before the season is over, whether it’s for a few plays or a game or more.

Thing is, if Maye gets hurt it’s more likely we will see a return to Brisket not an audition for Milton.

To borrow from a post here from a long time ago, Milton would be a great idea if they need a change of pace from accurate throws and scoring points.
 
WTF? Quite possibly the dumbest post I’ve seen on this board.
I doubt that....

Well Maye did look great, but what exactly is the benefit of him starting every game for the rest of the year? Do we really need him risking serious injury, even for 2 extra games, when we are 3-12 in Dec, at that point he should have had enough starts on his resume.

If we start JMIII for the last 2 games and he balls out, we would have a very interesting trade chip on our hands. If he doesn't ball out, you really lost nothing except a couple of games and improved your draft position.
