Does JMIII deserve a couple of starts this year?

[NashuaPats]

I’d love to see Milton attempt a Taysom Hill type of role, but I don’t think that’s happening.

 

[Nehalem]

Not even the Jets would do this.

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.

I don't get the fascination with milton.

Can he play tackle?

Can he play tackle?

If the current trend continues, he may have to at one point.

 

[p8ryts]

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???

NO

What strange timing for this post

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?

To get up to speed with the NFL game. If the coaches feel he's ready then barring injury there's no reason anymore to start anyone else.

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.

The "garbage" part of the season is all the more suitable to get him more experience.

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.

He's a long term project and still would be.

Bring Bledsoe back give him a shot

WTF? Quite possibly the dumbest post I’ve seen on this board.

wait a minute or two...

 

[Froob]

Is this parody?

Of course, you'd then need to have two more QBs come in next year.

I'm definitely with you on that.

Lose nothing aside from confidences of the guy you picked 3, locker room, dignity. But yeah let’s do it **** it.

I am down with him playing in garbage time if maye and jalopy are done for the night, ie we put a 50 burger on someone…/giggle. Outside of qbing tho, avp should draw something up with him and drake in it. ****, include jalopy as well. I don’t think anyone’s done a 3 qb play…jalopy can take the snap, then be the sacrifice, only to hand it to drake while getting pounded as always, and drake can dump it off to Milton, who can then over rocket it through Bourne’s hands, braking them both because of no touch. ;p

You and me both. Wonder if he’d be down or if his ego will only let him be qb. Dudes big enough for TE and could truck people easily. Honestly don’t think his heart would be in it from what I’ve read about him.
