ChronicAndKnuckles Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) "I wrote after last Thursday’s practice that Milton is the “wow” quarterback at camp— the guy with the best size, best athleticism, and biggest arm. Now I’ll take it a step further: Milton outplayed Maye over the first six practices of camp. You can’t tell which player is the No. 3 overall pick (Maye) and which is the sixth-round flier (Milton)," Ben Volin wrote for the Boston Globe. NFL veteran Jacoby Brissett is taking first team reps while Maye comes in at number two but is lacking the wow factor everyone is looking for, despite getting an immense amount of reps. Volin also noted that Maye was the only quarterback to not throw touchdown pass during the red zone period while Milton threw consecutive touchdowns on limited reps.” https://www.si.com/college/tennessee/football/joe-milton-outshining-drake-maye-at-new-england-patriots-training-camp-01j44s6h1gw8 Edited July 31 by ChronicAndKnuckles 2 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Way too early…I mean Nathan Peterman was chosen to start over Allen in camp. 4 3 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Milton was always a swing for the fences. If someone can tame him and control him he could hit big. 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 It's early, but I'm sure some people in "Pats Nation" are having meltdowns right about now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Just now, Alphadawg7 said: Way too early…I mean Nathan Peterman was chosen to start over Allen in camp. He didn't outplay Allen in camp though. Allen was the best QB in that camp as a rookie. They just didn't want to start him week 1. They tried the Peterman thing just to avoid that. It was never working. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely early, but Joe Milton’s measurables are scary good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 1 minute ago, ChronicAndKnuckles said: Definitely early, but Joe Milton’s measurables are scary good. He can throw a football 60 yards on one knee. An absolute cannon. His decision making and inconsistent accuracy were his problems. Not everyone is Josh Allen though. But if he can get the mental aspects down and refine his throwing motion, look out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 A few days ago I saw patriots people raving about Maye. Then hating Maye. Now ready to move on from Maye. lol. I don’t miss those days as a Bills fan. Welcome to QB purgatory Pats fans. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Will be interesting to watch if Patriots keep 3 QBs on the active roster. I wouldn’t mind having a developmental prospect to push the veteran backup QB off the roster to save money at the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a shame, we really don’t want a real QB showing up in New England do we…? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 3 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: Still early It is. And I am not saying Milton will start. But I just don't think the Peterman - Allen analogy works here. The Bills were adament Josh wasn't in a competition.... but to the extent he was he won it hands down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brissett still #1 which is not a high ceiling, neither rookie has managed to surpass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Buffalo Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I am not surprised, Milton is a better athlete and if the offense is not a situation where "on schedule" a better athlete is even more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody thought he would suck so spectacularly once the real games started. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 57 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Milton was always a swing for the fences. If someone can tame him and control him he could hit big. Agree. I was surprised that a team like the Giants didn’t take home earlier than the 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
