Alternative ways to help Joe Milton take a little off his long ball.

[clarencepeabody]

If Joe overthrows a receiver on a long ball, it’s incomplete.

If Joe doesn’t, or underthrows it, sure there’s a better chance the WR catches it—but also a better chance the defender does as well.

Believe me, there are worse things than “throwing the ball so that only your receiver can catch it.”

Just throw it to Squirrel - a match made in heaven.

I prefer to think of it as a “managing expectations” thread.

Results are what they are.

How soon we forget. He also had some beautiful passes that hit the receiver in stride. His completion rate is 63% with zero interceptions this year. QBR 86

Man you had people claiming he needed a wildcat package, some ever saying he should just get some playing time. He has thrown some beautiful deep balls this year before Vandy. He also got Hyatt on one on the first drive against Vandy, and Keyton also dropped a perfect pass. A rainy day with swirling wind (as they mentioned several times on the broadcast) is not an optimal condition to throw the long ball. Let's see how he looks in Miami before we worry about it that much.

Well, how about we put one of these on his, his you know what, his ummm, throwing arm. Yah, that's it, throwing arm.

Seal Neyland and increase the ambient air pressure to three atmospheres

 

[Vol865]

Faster WRs

Don't get faster than Hyatt

 

[DaddyChad]

Don't get faster than Hyatt

Squirrel is faster.

Brainstorming here.

What about if we plaster something like this onto Joe's right arm? That might reduce the 90 yard throws down to 80.

Is it illegal to give the ball to squirrel then throw squirrel and the ball?

Completion percentage=100%

Squirrel is faster.

Do you have any proof? I know he's fast and it's entirely possible. Just have never seen anything documented for him.

I honestly don't hate the wrist weight idea. Like just try it and see what happens.

 

[Vfl2407]

Strap a 5lb weight to his throwing arm.

That was in my OP.

 

[NCFisher]

Line him up 15 yards behind scrimmage and long snap everything.

 

[yourecrying]

I honestly think he might just need glasses or contacts. Wasn’t it Deshaun Watson who just found out he needed glasses a couple years ago?

 

[Orange koolaid]

One thing not mentioned much is he at least doesn't turn the ball over.

 

[Volman1993]

this should do the trick…

 

[Tman44]

He needs to spend some quality time with Jordan Palmer. No blue font. I think this would seriously help.

"As the founder of QB Summit, an in-person Orange County, California, quarterback consulting program and online digital platform, Palmer tutored players including Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Joe Burrow, Kyle Allen, and Bo Nix, among others."

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

this should do the trick…

Castration in the most painful way possible? Let's try the wrist weights first but this is on the table if we lose to Florida.

 

[Volintheswamp]

Put wings on the cleats of the receivers.

 

[mayneland]

Running schemes to open up passing lanes more! I watched & analyzed some of his old videos last night. Big physical QB like Tebow but better thrower & runner imo. If Josh can scheme around Joe's ability and boost his confidence even more, I believe Milton will settle into those overthrown balls.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Maybe Joe is nearsighted
