OT: Ex Patriots QB Joe Milton Released

[Steve102]

I was looking at Arizona's roster boy they're wasting TE Trey McBride. What a productive TE: he deserves better.

You know, there's this thing called a roster... and on the roster they have things called "other positions". There's actually guys on the roster that don't actually catch the football. Some of them don't even touch the football. No joke. Then there's a whole other side called defense. They don't even play offense. If they get lucky enough to catch the football, they don't get to keep playing. They leave the field and give it to the offense. Not even kidding. There's there's a 3rd unit; special teams. Some of those guys don't play offense or defense AND they don't get to touch the football either. Wild huh? C'mon, let me teach you about these other parts of the game...

 

[Bill Lee]

He has a loaded cannon for an arm and an empty head.

Reminds me of the old joke where a man says to a woman "Marry me and you'll swear I've had a transplant from a mule!" and after the wedding night the bride says "I wonder how that poor mule is doing without a brain!'.

As far as Milton vs Brissett.... Coaches will take the QB who they feel will try to execute their offense to the best of their ability over the QB that is unpredictable every time. It doesn't matter if the unpredictable guy is way more physically gifted.

As far as Milton himself.... I think it has been VERY unlucky for him that he has gotten very lucky in his limited exposure. He constantly makes bad reads, but gets absolutely lucky where a defender trips or a receiver makes a spectacular catch. I remember watching that Bills game and being amazed he hadn't thrown like 20 picks.

Unlucky for him because he doesn't see how lucky he has been. In isolation, his numbers are pretty good. But he is Tebow 2.0. Eventually, that luck will run out. Like Tebow against the Patriots in the playoffs, he is going to get exposed if any team puts him in charge for an extended period of time.
