Why establish a ceiling for Milton already, even a "he may not be the answer" type of limit on what the kid can accomplish?
He played one game in awful conditions, then a second a month later missing some key WR's, and still balled out in the second half once the ground game got going. A big part of Hooker's success this year was having a ground game that created space and a ton of open looks - we saw that in the second half last night.
See, here's the thing - we won't need our QB playing Superman and putting 50 pts/game on the board to win when we have a full roster and quality depth on defense, and that's coming starting in 2023. I'd much rather not need any "#1 offense" in order to win games, and would much prefer winning games 31-14 than 52-49. Teams that win like we did last night are the ones winning championships virtually every year.
Milton let the game come to him, didn't force things, and once the ground game created some open looks he capitalized. That's exactly the type of play that wins big games. Now he has a full off season with Heupel and the receivers he'll be working with next season. There are certainly no guarantees, but the sky's the limit with both Milton and the program.
