He had played one game in 2024, and he looked really good. He showed nice poise in the pocket, made good decisions with the football, and placed the ball in great spots. It was only one game, but how could the Patriots let this guy go for so cheap?

Milton's development has been inconsistent; strong debut, rough first year, now showing major improvement.

Milton's trajectory has been volatile. His NFL debut in 2024 with the Patriots showed promise—he displayed poise in the pocket, good decision-making, and accurate ball placement in one game. However, his first training camp with the Cowboys revealed he was still a developing quarterback with inconsistency issues. In his first season with Dallas (2025), he appeared in four games in garbage time only, showing high-variance play with some impressive moments mixed with poor throws and interceptions. The recent preseason performances suggest a significant turnaround, but his track record includes substantial ups and downs.
