At the league meetings, Vrabel acknowledged that Joe Milton was looking for an opportunity to potentially start somewhere.
And suggested he deserved it.
“I think Joes did everything that they asked him to do last year,” he said.
“Sounds like in conversations that he worked extremely hard, and thats tough when youre a quarterback.
Everybody wants to play.
Everybody wants to be the starter, everybody and thats great to have that attitude.”
Which was, of course, never going to happen here.
But am I wrong to think the Pats should’ve held out for more?
I mean, they weren’t forced to make a trade.
They could’ve theoretically kept three QBs on their roster.
Or at least let the rest of a quarterback-desperate league think that was their plan.
Dallas owns the 149th pick in the 5th.
The Pats have three in the 7th.
Making this a move up of somewhere between 68 spots and 89.
But I’m greedier than that, I guess.
you’re able to argue “But Jimmy G had more experience than Milton when that trade happened.
But not much more.
Garoppolo had two career starts, lasting six quarters.
That he and Eliot Wolf shopped around, and this was what the market would bear.
And for sure had the strongest arm.
I hope someday soon we get a Drake Maye vs. Joe Milton Super Bowl.
