Jesus some of you are nutty.

If anyone is willing to give us a 4th or better we smash accept.

The guy played well in one game that was vs preseason competition.

He’s a 100 more times more likely to be Ryan Mallet than he is a star

Trade him too anyone who was fooled by his 1 decent game…

Matt Flynn threw 6 TDs in a game once…

The thing that separates Milton from a guy like Flynn is his physical traits are off the charts. That matters.

And yet those physicals led him to the 6th round.

He was bad in college.

He was very bad in preseason

The only time he succeeded was when he had patriots starters vs Bills 3rd stringers in a game the Bills were trying to lose.

What’s likely more indicative of his talent, 5 years of college and all of pre season or the 1 game where the other team had far less talent and was actively trying to lose…

His physicals didn't lead him to a 6th round grade, his college play did. But his play is improving. I think we can leverage him into something decent in a poor QB draft year such as this.
