Poll: Predict Milroe's Pre-Season

[SNDavidson]

What will Milroe's Performance look like?

 

[onanygivensunday]

My expectations are very low. He just hasn't shown that he has the potential to be an NFL starting QB.

I have to admit I'm in the "why are there multiple threads about our third string QB?" camp. I think we should have a third string developmental QB on the roster. I think that's smart. I don't expect that developmental QB to do anything other than indicate that he has talent to develop. I have zero investment in whether it is Milroe or someone else.

TLDR: I only think about Milroe when there's another thread asking our opinion about Milroe.

Consider it a good sign of where the team is at.

 

[Zorn2Largent]

I would love it if Milroe caused a QB controversy, but from what I've heard at camp, it doesn't look like it.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I stick to my opinion that he would be a hell of a punt or kick returner. Has the speed and is pretty elusive.

Where is the Super Bowl MVP or Preseason MVP? Both of those are my choices for Milroe's preseason performance

I didn't know they have preseason. The last time I saw one of those games was when Pete was coaching in the beginning of his stretch.

Milroe was one of two draft picks from last year that everyone was absolutely stoked about (the other beyond Arroyo) but I've just kinda been standing around going meh. What does everyone see with this guy? It just feels like everyone wants to justify the high pick. I think we've got two busts on our hands there. It's premature to say so and they can turn things around, but I'm just not seeing anything right now.

Of course, it's great to be able to stand in the shadow of a second Lombardi and say that...

I liked, and still like Arroyo. It was Milroe and Emmanwori I thought were dumb picks. I guess one of two isn't bad, although we still have to see how Emmanwori responds in Year 2. We all thought Woolen was a future perennial All-Pro after his rookie year too.

 

[Rat]

Sarcasm? Em isn't bad???? Come on Rat, just say "I WAS WRONG" for once. Seriously man, it's ok to be wrong, we all miss on our takes. He was a phenomenal pick for the Hawks. I can appreciate being stubborn, digging your feet in.....but damn man. Emmanwori is a VERY good player, and already a big leader on this team. Home run pick by JS.
Not trying to argue, but what a strange take.

He's great, that's why I said I was one of two.

 

[BChawkfan]

I click "Other" because I didnt see a box that said. "Just done with the Milroe experiment "
Sorry, I've seen lots of non NFL QBs come up and he is just another.

Fair enough. I guess I read it differently. But I'm old so......

But there is a QB controversy surrounding Milroe. Just ask anyone on dot net what their opinion on Milroe is. Just enough QB controversy for my liking.
I’m excited to see what he can do in preseason as well as how the coaching staff might be thinking about expanding his role. He’s the backup to the backup. I’m also excited to see what all the backups can do. It’s kind of what preseason is for.
He’s no different than any other 3rd stringer at any other team position. If he works out, great. If he garners a potential pick in trade, great. If he ends up being cut one day, meh.

Only QB controversy he's going to cause (if he doesn't improve) is why he's still the 3rd QB?

I feel JS simply drafted him in case Darnold crashed-and-burned like his detractors were saying.
