Joe Milton to Patriots

[BigOrangeMojo]

A staff that is wowed by his incredible natural talent. Why not take a gamble? The pros are a different world. Who knows what will happen?

I was just referring to the last time the Pats took an underperforming QB that had played for Michigan in the 6th round....

You like Alabama?

No, but irrelevant

I really wish Milton had a good QB to sit behind for a few years or a team with a good offensive mind. Who knows what will happen though? For all we know Milton could be the starter in NE in a few years?

It's not the leagues fault Dobbs gets bounced around. And Dobbs should be very proud of his career.

Nothing with being a quality backup in the NFL. I mean Dobbs has had a better NFL career than any other Vol QB not named Peyton.

i have no idea why but OPs title made me think Milton had some big MAGA announcement lmfao.

Out of curiosity, what does a 6th round QB bring home? With him not being a UDFA and an actual pick, is he guaranteed a contract?

Not bad. I don’t imagine he gets drafted without Heupel.

I have nothing but respect for Joe and a sincere hope that he makes a GREAT career in the NFL.
He represented Tennessee Football well and I look forward to seeing him come back to Neyland from time to time.
GO JOE..!!!!!!

It’s really not.

Yes, and almost absolutely certain

6 round pick, it's a cheap gamble with a lot of upside if it works out.

This is my opinion. If they can tame the screen pass/ 8 yd route, Joe Milton will be dangerous.

Joe > Maye

Yup. Lived through the Shuler/Frerotte thing. I think Norv Turner got buyers remorse right after he drafted Shuler. Because he favored Frerotte pretty quickly. Local media slurped all over Frerotte as well. Funniest part of the whole thing was Kornheiser nicknaming him “Baby Heath”.

They kept telling Heath to throw the ball away and not try to make a play with his legs. They didn’t know what they had with Shuler because Shuler was ahead of his time.

Shuler in Heupels offense??

Yea, I don't think that was it...

That’s according to Shuler. Take it for what it’s worth.

He's too soft for the NFL, but a Taysom Hill type role is his best bet for a long career.

That's only if he makes 53-man roster all 4 years.....

 

[VolinMichigan]

He turned down the Falcons.

Maybe he walked away when they didn't agree to give him the control he wanted. Maybe his time has passed and he needs to take the hint and live a nice comfortable retirement?

 

[YankeeVol]

He turned down the Falcons.

He was never offered.

 

[JRich]

At that point in the draft, teams are just picking best available. I don’t read too much into it. He’ll get his chance, probably with more than one team. Hope it clicks for him, best of luck.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Good work if you can get it.

 

[GVF]

Yeah kind of a head scratcher but at the same time the way things are setup, it's cheap to take QB's
It would be crazy if he got there and it all clicked but I'm still scratching my head. They took Maye at 3

If your QB room was already questionable and you picked up Maye, and then Milton as a project and possible #2 from the 6th round, it makes sense. He's got tons of raw talent. If they can harness that they could have a solid backup that only needs to be great on occasion and got him for a good price.

The real head scratcher was the Falcons signing Cousins to 4 years then drafting a QB that could be starting elsewhere in 2 years or less.

 

[GVF]

Perhaps team personnel who aren't as conceited as Milton haters.
I hope gets a good coach who coaxes out greatness in him.

Anyone that can hate on a person that carries himself as well as Milton and seems to be as impressive a young man as Milton should not haave an opinion.
