STACKED’s take
Milton's 118.6 rating and perfect 6-for-6 third-down performance show improved touch.
Milton held the backup QB role last season but entered the preseason game competing for the QB2 position against Sam Howell. Despite his premier arm strength, he needed to improve his touch and accuracy. In the game, Milton demonstrated significant strides in ball placement and touch, posting a 118.6 QB rating with 1 TD and 0 INTs. He was perfect on third downs, going 6 for 6 facing an average of six yards to gain per conversion attempt, throwing for 54 yards. His throws were characterized as excellent, including a laser to rookie Anthony Smith for a 23-yard pickup on third down that showcased the improved touch and ball placement the team wanted to see more consistently from him.
