Milton's mobility prevented an already awful offensive performance from looking even worse, and he showed arm talent on a couple of throws that demonstrated why his arm talent is intriguing; his scrambling was one of the few reasons the game remained watchable, and removing all quarterback runs including scrambles reveals the Eagles' running backs finished with only 16 carries for 28 yards (1.75 yards per carry), meaning Milton's legs covered up how dysfunctional the run game actually was.

The source hopes the Eagles start Joe Milton for entertainment value, noting he will struggle to complete basic throws and might accidentally injure receivers with screen passes. However, the source finds entertainment value in his ability to roll out or stay deep in the pocket on play-action, anticipating how far or hard he will throw the ball. The source suggests the Eagles are going nowhere, so they might as well embrace the entertainment.

Joe Milton faced relentless pressure from the Giants' creative blitz packages in Week 9. On a third-and-5 situation, Milton was hit hard by Arvell Reese in what became known as 'the hit heard around the world'—a 2.29-second sack that was the fastest in the NFL since Week 7 of last season. Milton also took a hit on Reese's second sack when attempting to run into open space but instead found Reese waiting. The Giants' scheme of isolating Reese versus running backs in pass protection repeatedly left Milton vulnerable to unblocked rushers.

Completed only 38.3% of his passes in his first start for the Eagles in Week 9, a dangerously low floor for receiving weapons. On 47 dropbacks, Milton only completed 18 passes, enough to get Makai Lemon and Dallas Goedert to double digits but failing to get Saquon Barkley a single reception or Darius Cooper more than a pair on his eight targets. The Eagles' receiving value and touchdown potential take a major dip with Milton at QB.

In his first NFL start against the Giants, Milton identified protection communication as the primary area needing improvement; he took personal responsibility for fixing protection schemes despite only being with the team three weeks, noting he was taught well but needs to execute better. He also reflected on the final play, saying he should have stayed behind the line of scrimmage rather than scrambling, and acknowledged the need for the offense to collectively improve communication and be on the same page with protections.

Joe Milton made his first start for the Eagles after only three weeks with the team. While he showed mobility and could push the ball downfield at times, the operation was rough around the edges. He completed 18 of 32 passes for 169 yards, took seven sacks, and struggled with accuracy; too often he was off the mark, leading to stalled drives. Milton rushed for 64 yards on nine carries (team-leading), but the Eagles' second-half offensive struggles persisted despite the quarterback change, suggesting systemic coaching and offensive line issues rather than quarterback-specific problems.

Joe Milton made his first start for the Eagles after only three weeks with the team, completing 18 of 32 passes for 169 yards while taking seven sacks and adding 64 rushing yards on nine carries. Despite showing some ability to push the ball downfield and extend plays with his mobility, Milton struggled with accuracy, going off the mark frequently and leading to stalled drives. The Eagles went three-and-out seven times on 13 drives, and Milton's performance did not solve the team's offensive woes; the second-half struggles persisted despite the quarterback change, pointing to systemic coaching and offensive line issues rather than a QB solution.

Nick Sirianni evaluated Milton's performance after the loss to the Giants as mixed but with notable strengths: 'had some really good plays and then he's going to have plays that he's going to want back, naturally. But I thought he did a lot of good things, a lot of solid things, made some plays with his feet, gave our guys a couple chances downfield. Thought he was good in the play action world.' Sirianni highlighted Milton's mobility and play-action effectiveness as positives, though he noted the offense needs better run-game execution to complement the play-action concepts.

Joe Milton completed 18 of 34 passes for 169 yards with a 66.9 passer rating and 9 rushing attempts for 64 yards in his third week with the Eagles. He was the team's leading rusher and showed flashes with his arm strength and mobility, but also lost a fumble, missed receivers, and appeared lost against the Giants' blitz. Despite the mixed performance, the source indicates he should remain the starter coming back from the bye week against the Steelers.

Milton made his first start for Philadelphia in Week 9 and showed limited upside despite some rushing production. While Milton had 9 touches for 64 yards on the ground (most of any Philly QB all season), the passing game remained stagnant. Five of his seven sacks came on pressures under 2.5 seconds, and he threw short of the sticks on a third of his third-down attempts. Just 6 of his throws of double-digit air yards turned into completions. Without much talent around him (operating behind a reconstructed offensive line without WR1), the Eagles' offense showed no meaningful improvement from earlier in the season.
