Because they are smart, like Washington did with RGIII and Cousins. Maybe you get two starters in a year. Brissett is veryyyy below average.

He's an athletic freak. We could have drafted him for cheap and tried to develop him into something. 4 years in the same system and he might become something. He seems to be very similar to Anthony Richardson, so it's really hard to understand why one was considered so much more valuable than the other. Other than Richardson running a 4.4 40 and Milton running a 4.6 40. But still, doesn't make much sense to me. Milton was the more accurate player in college too. And Milton is 2 years older, but I don't think that's a huge difference for QBs. The world will never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can throw darts and bomb it 70 yards in the air, but he is incapable of layering throws. His touch is horrible. He has a fastball and that's it. Which also leads to poor accuracy. His TD pass last night is a good example. Horrible pass. Throws the fast ball which looks good with a guy wide open. But defended as it would be with starting defenses, that pass is broken up or worse. Richardson can actually layer throws and has shown some touch to work with. Milton worked with Harbaugh and never learned a darn thing. Should tell you about his development potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Milton outshining Drake May that's worth consideration too is it's not like Drake May is more talented. They actually match each other in talent and one you had to draft third overall and the other drafted in the fifth round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots that already drafted a quarterback very high drafted him I'm at basic principle. The problem I have with spencer rattler or Joe Milton doing well at camp is it might be a sign that Telesco doesn't know how to evaluate the quarterback as good as one would think for someone who drafted Herbert. It would seem more like the quarterback fell into his lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone watched Joe Milton at Michigan or Tennessee, they would not be hyping this guy. He's athletic with a big arm. He's a spot thrower, with no touch. Wildly inaccurate on short and intermediate throws. People really need to stop falling for trailing camp hype. The moment he faces a first team defense in a live game, he will be exposed. He's not a processor and decision maker. He's a 24 year old developmental prospect with no accuracy. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
