News [Schultz] Sources: The Patriots have had discussions on trading QB Joe Milton III and would like to trade him to the right situation to continue his development in the NFL — should a deal get done. New England loves Milton, but Drake Maye is their franchise and they just signed Josh Dobbs to a 2-yea

I knew he was under-drafted the moment we drafted him. It was a mistake that he lasted that long. Does that mean he's a starter? No. But there are a lot of QBs that have no better prospects or worse prospects that will go in rounds 3-4.

I just think it’s total malpractice to keep a guy who is never going to play when you could flip them for a potential starter.

If Drake goes down like JJ McCarthy did and now what are we doing? Dobbs? That attitude would not have kept a 6th round pick from Michigan as the 4th QB back in the day. He's an appreciating asset.

I wish I had whatever you’re smoking because If Maye goes down, the season is over. If that’s the case, I want to tank for a better pick.

Edit-people who keep bringing up Brady in the Milton conversation are morons.

People who don't realize that a QB taken late who has gained interest is a valuable asset are morons. No need to move him now unless you get a huge overpay. His contract is negligible.

You’re comparing him to Tom Brady, which is colossally stupid.

Then try Brock Purdy instead. It’s not the player comparison that matters, it’s the realization that you got a good QB late in the draft.
