Downtime Question

[KnightVision82]

What happen to Milton this season?

Love this guy and it's a miracle that he played this season but what happen to his passing game?
Just looked horrible with accuracy this season. He was so on top of things his junior season and
reminded me of Kevin Smith his last two seasons where he practiced great and tore it up...
but just looks so out of sync?

Check out 1st quarter and end of 4th quarter. Looked like FSU game play.

Is this a serious question?

The dude had a catastrophic injury. No one's gonna play the same after that. I'm surprised he was even able to start.

Reminds me of Daunte's injury. Was never the same.

The long lay-off hurt him the most. Hard to get back into rhythm when you haven’t played in 2 years. He won’t ever be the same. He would need to be a starter for a couple years to get the feel back but no team will let him work out the kinks.

My thought as well, the leg being healed doesn’t make up for all of the time lost.

XFL, USFL, But reality says coach. The endless optimist says, just a few years in XFL or USFL..... you can be the F.....g realist.

He did not have particular arm talent, either in strength or accuracy. He was a leader, made plays with his mobility, and a cast of players that supported his abilities.

There is no way he approaches the game like he did prior to the injury. You don't spend 2 years going through surgeries and rehab and not have that in your mind while on the field that you don't want to go through anything remotely like that ever again.

His accuracy and quick decisions made him great Sophomore and Junior seasons. He lacks strength and height. Now lacks feel because of being out. When I didn’t play for a couple years in other sports it’s hard to gauge the speed of game. You have to know where to be or where to put ball but that’s hard when you’ve been out.

THIS^^^^ I was thinking the same thing when I read his question. I'm like...really?

He played prior year on our scout team. Thanks for lack of information (-:

The guy wants to continue playing ball but unfortunately not going to happen if you look at tape ...

One last comment and I'm done. I remember now with the QB coach that KZ had under Frost that he would do a lot of drills which required him to run sideways and throw the ball. I'm wondering if he was actually better at throwing the ball while he was scrambling then when he was standing still. Also, his receivers at UCF worked on getting into the open area when KZ scrambled more than other situations after he was injured. I'm done. Wish him the best!

Milton was a victim of rust. It was like watching Milton of 2016, just bigger and smarter. A lot of his mistakes like fumbles, poor throws. and interceptions were just being out of sync. He needs to play in an Arena league, lower level league or the CFL to get the kinks out if he’s ever going to get a legitimate shot at the NFL. Many thought that he wasn’t NFL material before the injury.

Yes, he had a catastrophic injury, but he was basically back at full speed and strength. Additionally, he didn’t have the greater supporting cast at FSU. I fully supported his amazing comeback, but his future is in coaching
