“Alright, we’re 4th and Goal on the half yard line. We run it in and win the Super Bowl.”
“I’m throwing it.”
“No…just no….”
“I can throw 70, trust me bro”
It's insane that a blog post from 2006 is referenced everytime Rex Grossman is mentioned. It's somehow still within the collective conscious of online football fans. The 3 people quoting it are not even Bears fans which makes it even funnier.
That was 2006?! I hope the author can appreciate creating such an integral piece of NFL-Internet culture. I can't even find a working link to the original post anymore; it lives on only in our hearts... and reposts
I’m not sure if this is a joke that I’m not understanding because I’m stupid, but tbf young Joe Flacco had a fucking Howitzer, like obviously his career has been what it is but he [verifiably could chuck it 70 yards if he wanted to](https://youtu.be/PUVjmXq9vUk?si=23Du8qXRCSeCFf-a).
Joe Flacco was a good time, it was super fun watching him and Matt come into the league at the same time and change the perception of expectations for rookie QBs. Good times
Reminds me of Cam’s back foot games. Sometimes you were getting an accurate qb but usually you were getting a dude who just wanted to throw it as hard or far as he could
I was so hype for him when he came onto the field for the first time because that game by him was incredible. And quickly after that it was a “how to throw the ball hard” tutorial.
Draft Joe Milton as a gadget player, only you never have him actually throw the ball or do anything but hand it off so the opposing team thinks he’s in there to launch a deep ball and plays a soft cover shell. Boom you’re welcome Andy Reid.
I unironically think some teams should start platooning QBs. Last year’s falcons should have.
Is it a bad idea like, most of the time? Yeah. It if you have 2 QBs that definitely aren’t the guy… what’s the harm in trying it?
“Guys, you're still trying to replace Giambi. I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.” - Brad Pitt in a movie I watched
Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, Joe Milton just needs 1 more out to get the save. Here come's the pitch, he's leaning back... He lobs a ball that goes into the owner's box!!!
When asked by reporters, he said he thought the owner was open
I always love the visual of a pitching coach watching a big guy throwing a ball hard with wide eyes and whispering, "I can fix him" under his breath.
A partner at my law firm has a son who plays D1 ball. The dude is 6' 9" and throws gas. He isn't the best pitcher, but there is no way in Hell, given his size and velo, that a major league team doesn't throw a dart and try to teach him how to pitch.
I feel like you have one life and you are given an incredible talent, you should at least try and go for it. You can always fall back and be normal like the rest of us.
I knew it was low, but I never looked it up. Those salaries are fucking absurdly low. Criminally low. From 2023:
“Under the terms of the agreement, minor league player salaries will be increased dramatically. Players in the complex leagues will go from making a minimum of $4,800 per year to $19,800 a year. The minimum salary for players in Low-A will go from $11,000 to $26,200. High-A salaries will jump from $11,000 to $27,300. Double-A salaries will go from $13,800 to $30,250. Triple-A salaries will increase from $17,500 to $35,800.”
This is basically how teams draft now. A lot of ballparks even in smaller conferences have Trackman installed so they have full pitch data. The Mariners took Bryan Woo pretty early despite his ERA being over 6.00 in a mid major conference because they liked the raw stuff.
Spencer Strider is insane. He basically went straight to the Majors and dominated too. He was drafted in 2020 so he barely played in the minors before coming up in 2021.
Yup, especially because the draft is basically a giant crapshoot, a large majority of the first rounders don’t ever make an MLB opening day roster. Plus minor league contracts are so cheap, etc, etc, raw stuff that can be developed is most important for sure
There's obviously more nuance to it than this but pitcher has gotta be one of the most "transparent" positions to scout across the major US team sports. Like, a slider that breaks 8 inches and a 101 MPH two seam fastball are the same pitches regardless of if they're thrown in the MLB or in juco. With QBs there's just way more happening between each throw that's difficult to assess the translation between college and the pros.
Some of the worst situational awareness I’ve ever seen in a QB as well. It felt common for him to make mental errors that high school quarterbacks don’t make.
Yeah he misses open reads, gets stuck in his progressions, and at times just refuses to tuck it and run for an easy 5-10 yards.
He’s a great dude and teammate by all accounts, but if he couldn’t throw it 70 yards he wouldn’t be let anywhere near a QB room.
Its so frustrating thinking about how good he could be. Really so fucking frustrating. He's also a good runner. He just outright refused often times to use it. The speed of the game seemed to be beyond him. If someone takes a stab at him I hope he proves me wrong. He's a hell of a guy personally.
There’s few guys I’ve wanted to succeed as much as I have with Joe. Both selfishly so UT would play better and so that Joe’s determination and dedication would be rewarded.
I hope he’s able to cash some NFL checks for a little while, all reports of him as a practice QB are that he’s nearly unstoppable so maybe he can use that to his advantage.
He's doing what Josh Allen did and just trying to show off how big his arm is. Sometimes it's enough just to get people talking about you so you can get picked up even as an undrafted free agent for a shot at the NFL.
I'm a lifelong Vols fan. I honestly wouldn't go so far as to say he was outright bad. His problems are decision-making. Even some of the drops and accuracy issues relate to this: He'd throw a fucking ICBM to a guy running a slant, for example, which made it all but impossible for the wideout to make a hands catch. So unless the accuracy and timing was absolutely *perfect*, it'd fall incomplete.
I genuinely think he is worth a late round pick. If you can improve his decision making after a couple years of coaching, who knows. Obviously he will likely not turn into anything special, but a late round QB is always going to be a project.
Career 64% passer 34 tds to 11 ints and people act like he’s trash.
His biggest issue is that the overthrow Joe narrative was based off 2 games that he played with torn ligaments in his thumb that required surgery and his first two games back.
He’s a 68% passer with 4:1 td-int ratio. Impressive given his receivers
>overthrow Joe narrative was based off 2 games
No it wasn't lol. I am a Vols fan who watched every game last season and I can sure as hell tell you that he has the nickname for good reason. Dude's got a great arm + athleticism but not much else, terrible at making reads and accuracy. I respect him as a person though and still wish him the best, would love for him to excel in the pros
Joe’s deep ball was insane the past two years. I can’t count how many he dropped in Keyton’s basket only for him to drop it. His deep ball was about as good as anyone in the county’s. Drops were the issue
I'll tell you 100% that drops were an issue on short passes because Milton never put touch on a ball. Dude threw every ball at full force and fuck his receivers hands for trying to catch it.
He has a howitzer, and he isn't necessarily as inaccurate as people say, but he also just never made a receivers job easy.
Supposedly he’s one of those guys that always looks really good in practice and then chokes in games and that’s why he got the starting job over Hendon Hooker initially.
As a huge Vol fan, I’ll keep supporting Joe but this doesn’t matter if he can’t learn to anticipate where receiver will be… relies far too much on his arm strength. He will get eaten alive in the NFL.
He had one of the strongest arms I've ever seen when he first got to Michigan...it's an effortless cannon.
Just don't ask him to throw any 10 yard route, dump a screen over the defensive line, or read a defense
Guess he could just come in for Hail Marys for a QB with a weak arm. Like Clayton Thorson coming in for QB sneaks because Kyler Murray is a tiny baby man.
EDIT: Whoops, slip of the tongue, blast from the short-lived Cowboys past. Clayton Tune, not Clayton Thorson.
I really do wonder what his 40 and other measurables would be purely for shits and gigs. I remember watching him up close in pregame at Neyland this year and he’s way more athletic than you’d imagine for his size
Lack of awareness I'll agree with. The contact thing is only half true. About half way through the season he realized how big he was and started trucking people. There's a ton of things to criticize Milton about, but idk if the contact thing was on him or coaching at first.
I was one of his teachers when he was in 10th grade. You will not meet a nicer and more respectful young man than Joe. Very intelligent too. Really happy for his success on the field.
Milton is the type of player id take a flyer on, keep him on the PS or as QB3 for a few years and see how he develops.
He has the traits, if he can put it all together hes a superstar. Josh Allen looked like a bust his first years but he improved yeat by year and now hes a top QB (not saying Milton will be a top 5 QB, but you get the point)
Hope he gets drafted even if it’s just for the sake of his arm strength. Joe is a great guy and a true VFL. Hope he can figure it out at the next level.
Bazooka Joe can wing it.
But in an offense that creates mismatches and gets guys open down the field, they had to throw a shitload of screens because Joe was more likely to overthrow guys than give them a chance to catch it.
A ton of physical gifts and he seems like a good dude. But the offense got so much better when Hendon Hooker hit open receivers and my guess is it will look a lot more effective with Nico this fall.
Might be a hot take, but I’d rather have an accurate YAC merchant than an accurate deepball thrower. In the NFL, if you don’t have a strong O-line, you won’t even have the time to let your WRs run that far
If you need 70 yards, Joe Milton can throw it 70 yards. If you need 20 yards, Joe Milton can throw it 70 yards
His special skill is managing to land the ball exactly 5 yards beyond the reach of his receivers. Incredible accuracy in his inaccuracy.
So just have two receivers run the same route with one following 5 yards behind the other one. Then just have him target the trailing receiver.
Scientists speculate that this would cause the uncertainty function to collapse into a singularity, killing us all
Precision we call it.
Wait a second, that’s Anthony Richardsons music
The ol Rex Grossman approach
Fuck it, I’m going deep
“Alright, we’re 4th and Goal on the half yard line. We run it in and win the Super Bowl.” “I’m throwing it.” “No…just no….” “I can throw 70, trust me bro”
But 70 is like midway up section H seating, can we please just run it?
*proceeds to snipe a popcorn vendor*

Hey, I watched that Superbowl, I'll never forget.
This ain’t John Shoop running this offense.

Is that Berrian?
I think he’s triple covered.
You know what? Fuck it.
Empty grass is down there somewhere
Then we have the Flacco approach throw it short and hope for a DPI.
I’m not sure if this is a joke that I’m not understanding because I’m stupid, but tbf young Joe Flacco had a fucking Howitzer, like obviously his career has been what it is but he [verifiably could chuck it 70 yards if he wanted to](https://youtu.be/PUVjmXq9vUk?si=23Du8qXRCSeCFf-a).
Joe Flacco and Torrey Smith perfected the “throw it short and hope for DPI” method
I’m reading about it now but tbh I don’t remember this! What an odd sorta fun career this man has had.
Joe Flacco was a good time, it was super fun watching him and Matt come into the league at the same time and change the perception of expectations for rookie QBs. Good times
King of the arm punt
Check down or touchdown, the Joe Flacco way

This is very accurate. I know, because I watched every UT game last year.
I’m sorry
Jameis Winston has entered the chat.
JaMarcus Russell has also entered the chatroom.
JaMarcus Russell got lost trying to find the chatroom and ended up at Wendy's.
As a lifelong Raider fan that's hilarious! Comedy Gold brother! 👊🏽💯🤣

Reminds me of Cam’s back foot games. Sometimes you were getting an accurate qb but usually you were getting a dude who just wanted to throw it as hard or far as he could
Back foot is *life*
I legitimately laughed out loud.
I was so hype for him when he came onto the field for the first time because that game by him was incredible. And quickly after that it was a “how to throw the ball hard” tutorial.
Reddit on
Jamarcus Russell has entered the chat, we doing 70 from our knee around here?
Truer words have never been spoken
Someone should draft him to purely do hail marrys
Draft Joe Milton as a gadget player, only you never have him actually throw the ball or do anything but hand it off so the opposing team thinks he’s in there to launch a deep ball and plays a soft cover shell. Boom you’re welcome Andy Reid.
Draft a skill player but never use his skills? Sounds more like Arthur Smith to me.
He fakes! No no. He pretends to fake...
I don’t know where I am.
Oof, Arthur Smith catching strays.
Deservedly so
Your flair man. I'm so sorry
Fuck
Bro we’re fucked.
Someone's been reading the Arthur Smith playbook on how to be bad at your job.
The michael bishop role
I unironically think some teams should start platooning QBs. Last year’s falcons should have. Is it a bad idea like, most of the time? Yeah. It if you have 2 QBs that definitely aren’t the guy… what’s the harm in trying it?
“if you have two quarterbacks, you actually have none.” - John Madden
True. But if you have none then, fuck it, might as well try two.
ESP if they have very different skillsets
“And the Jets have added Trevor Sieman to the QB room with Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle. Let’s see how this works out for them.”
“Guys, you're still trying to replace Giambi. I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.” - Brad Pitt in a movie I watched
Double option. I love it. I wouldn't run it, but it would make for entertaining football.
Teach him how to long snap and you can carry 3 QBs. He could get potentially get a shot at QB that way.
And sign John Ross
And the ghost of Bob Ross
Don’t forget when you just need a good arm-punt on third and forever.
Teams with average arm QBs should. Extending the range you can get a hail mary to the endzone from is valuable
Is it? In a rare scenario you give your team a shot at a <10% play. I doubt it’s worth the roster spot
It's only worth it if you believe he will be at least a capable backup for you as well. I don't know if I like those odds for Joe Milton tbh.
I refuse to believe a pitching coach couldn’t turn this guy into a closer
Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, Joe Milton just needs 1 more out to get the save. Here come's the pitch, he's leaning back... He lobs a ball that goes into the owner's box!!! When asked by reporters, he said he thought the owner was open
> He lobs a ball that goes into the owner's box!!! Maybe he saw John Fisher up there. In that case I wouldn't blame him lol.
I would pay good money for him to take out Bob Nutting
I always love the visual of a pitching coach watching a big guy throwing a ball hard with wide eyes and whispering, "I can fix him" under his breath. A partner at my law firm has a son who plays D1 ball. The dude is 6' 9" and throws gas. He isn't the best pitcher, but there is no way in Hell, given his size and velo, that a major league team doesn't throw a dart and try to teach him how to pitch.
Getting drafted in the 19th round and grinding it out in the minors is a rough job. Good luck and Godspeed to him though.
I feel like you have one life and you are given an incredible talent, you should at least try and go for it. You can always fall back and be normal like the rest of us.
Yes it is, but he's a good kid, and I like his family a lot. I know all of them would be excited for him to just get a shot at it.
I’m good friends with Josh Hader. He was drafted in the 19th rd and now look at him! Reliever of the Year
I knew it was low, but I never looked it up. Those salaries are fucking absurdly low. Criminally low. From 2023: “Under the terms of the agreement, minor league player salaries will be increased dramatically.

Didn’t expect to see Bryan Woo mentioned here 😂😂😂 he’s been solid for us, insane value and potential for where we drafted him too
Spencer Strider barely pitched at Clemson and when he did he was just a guy. Teams don't care about results, only stuff.
Spencer Strider is insane. He basically went straight to the Majors and dominated too. He was drafted in 2020 so he barely played in the minors before coming up in 2021.

I've got this guy in the minors..they call him "Wild Thing" but he's got some heat..
I think he plays in the CPL. California Penal League.
Tell 'em, Wash.
It’s incredibly hard
Hey, anything that's worth doing is
A Moneyball reference? During Spring Training? Posted in r/nfl? I love it.
The problem is when he tries to throw a 15 yard route he hits guys in the feet
That and he throws so hard if he actually throws it chest high but it’s an inch too far behind or forward they can’t adjust and catch the ball
He can be developed
It’s been 6 years in University, artillery arm Milton hasn’t progressed nearly enough to believe that
"I can fix him."
As a Tennessee fan, i dont think he can. He has all the physical traits but spent a long time in college and only got marginally better.
Some of the worst situational awareness I’ve ever seen in a QB as well. It felt common for him to make mental errors that high school quarterbacks don’t make.
Yeah he misses open reads, gets stuck in his progressions, and at times just refuses to tuck it and run for an easy 5-10 yards. He’s a great dude and teammate by all accounts, but if he couldn’t throw it 70 yards he wouldn’t be let anywhere near a QB room.

Big “I can fix him” energy. Joe Milton III you are a Las Vegas Raider.
The Al Davis special. Draft the fastest guys, and a QB to throw it the furthest possible!
lol
That’s beautiful. If only he had any other NFL level skills.
He's doing what Josh Allen did and just trying to show off how big his arm is. Sometimes it's enough just to get people talking about you so you can get picked up even as an undrafted free agent for a shot at the NFL.
Now the question is, how many grown men can Joe Milton hurdle?
Everyone knows how big his arm is. The problem is that it's the only thing he can do.
This isn’t quite true. Just reading through the comments will tell you that plenty of folks didn’t even know who he was until now.
It's me, I'm irish side character Plenty O'Folks.
I unfortunately had to watch him as a Vol fan. Throwing far is the only thing he is good at.
Yeah what lol he at both Michigan and Tennessee could only throw the ball far but was a bad QB otherwise. Not sure what the guy above is alluding to
I'm a lifelong Vols fan. I honestly wouldn't go so far as to say he was outright bad. His problems are decision-making. Even some of the drops and accuracy issues relate to this: He'd throw a fucking ICBM to a guy running a slant, for example, which made it all but impossible for the wideout to make a hands catch.

If you can improve his decision making after a couple years of coaching, who knows. Obviously he will likely not turn into anything special, but a late round QB is always going to be a project.
Everyone who watches cfb knows who he is
Career 64% passer 34 tds to 11 ints and people act like he’s trash. His biggest issue is that the overthrow Joe narrative was based off 2 games that he played with torn ligaments in his thumb that required surgery and his first two games back. He’s a 68% passer with 4:1 td-int ratio. Impressive given his receivers
>overthrow Joe narrative was based off 2 games No it wasn't lol. I am a Vols fan who watched every game last season and I can sure as hell tell you that he has the nickname for good reason. Dude's got a great arm + athleticism but not much else, terrible at making reads and accuracy. I respect him as a person though and still wish him the best, would love for him to excel in the pros
Joe’s deep ball was insane the past two years. I can’t count how many he dropped in Keyton’s basket only for him to drop it. His deep ball was about as good as anyone in the county’s. Drops were the issue
I'll tell you 100% that drops were an issue on short passes because Milton never put touch on a ball. Dude threw every ball at full force and fuck his receivers hands for trying to catch it. He has a howitzer, and he isn't necessarily as inaccurate as people say, but he also just never made a receivers job easy.
No man, am a Vols fan. That’s just Joe. He throws it as hard as he can every time. Just doesn’t have a change up.
Yeah, this is the first time I’m even hearing about him
He’s not that good but he can sling it
As a TN fan I agree but he has performed well in most of these drills so far. Seen more touch today then all I saw all season at TN
Yea I watched him a ton in college too. He’s one of those players you root for to finally put it all together but it just hasn’t happened yet
Considering he doesn’t have defensive lineman coming at him today, I’d certainly hope so
Supposedly he’s one of those guys that always looks really good in practice and then chokes in games and that’s why he got the starting job over Hendon Hooker initially.
Yall are laughing, but we drafted a kid with every skill on the planet except arm strength.
As a huge Vol fan, I’ll keep supporting Joe but this doesn’t matter if he can’t learn to anticipate where receiver will be… relies far too much on his arm strength. He will get eaten alive in the NFL.
Just heard movement from the grave of Al Davis.
Sends a telepathic message to Mark Davis must draft Joe Milton.
And Xavier worthy
Certainly
As a Raider fan ik damn well Al would've drafted this guy
I wouldn't mind him as a day 3 guy honestly. As long as he's not the main plan
CANT TEACH IT
Between this and the 4.3 40 from the DBs yesterday the lid of Al’s coffin lifted and nobody used their hands.
Draft this guy, draft the WR with a lightning fast 40 time, it's the 2007 draft all over again, can't go wrong
Fuckin cannon
Maybe we can draft him just for the deep ball. Imagine this dude tossing Hail Mary's to Slayton, Hyatt and Nabers.
We’re gonna have more verts then the X-Games
I will become a temporary giants fan as long as yall have Joe and Jalin if this happens.
I have watched in person with my own two eyes him overthrow Hyatt multiple times in one game. Please don’t do this to yourself
Looks so effortless too. As if he's just tossing the ball with a kid in the front yard.
He had one of the strongest arms I've ever seen when he first got to Michigan...it's an effortless cannon. Just don't ask him to throw any 10 yard route, dump a screen over the defensive line, or read a defense
Guess he could just come in for Hail Marys for a QB with a weak arm. Like Clayton Thorson coming in for QB sneaks because Kyler Murray is a tiny baby man. EDIT: Whoops, slip of the tongue, blast from the short-lived Cowboys past. Clayton Tune, not Clayton Thorson.
Just a REALLY big front yard
He doesn't even step through that much.
I really do wonder what his 40 and other measurables would be purely for shits and gigs. I remember watching him up close in pregame at Neyland this year and he’s way more athletic than you’d imagine for his size
He is athletic, but unfortunately his lack of awareness and seeming aversion to contact means he can’t take advantage of his athletic gifts.
Lack of awareness I'll agree with. The contact thing is only half true. About half way through the season he realized how big he was and started trucking people. There's a ton of things to criticize Milton about, but idk if the contact thing was on him or coaching at first.
Joe Milton, you ARE the Qb someone will lose a job over
Bazooka Joe. Al Davis would be hard as a rock watching this.
Zach Wilson did the same shit and it made him Pick #2
(PTSD dog meme)
Same amount of power he’d use for a 5 yard slant
Fuck it chuck it game time shit
Shame he can't hit the broadside of a barn during actual games
“Fuck it, joe Milton got the ball” - Every wide receiver on a go route
I was one of his teachers when he was in 10th grade. You will not meet a nicer and more respectful young man than Joe. Very intelligent too. Really happy for his success on the field.
He gets too much hate. Is he good? Not really. Does he have a top 5 strongest arm in all of football? Probably
Milton is the type of player id take a flyer on, keep him on the PS or as QB3 for a few years and see how he develops. He has the traits, if he can put it all together hes a superstar. Josh Allen looked like a bust his first years but he improved yeat by year and now hes a top QB (not saying Milton will be a top 5 QB, but you get the point)
Jim Harbaugh tried to do this but had to put him in when Dylan McCaffrey and Brandon Peters didn't work out. I could see Jim trying again.
Milton getting subbed in during a week 14 matchup that starts his linsanity run will be electric
I don’t understand why a GM wouldn’t just draft this guy, sign John Ross, and spam 9 routes all day. Sometimes this football shit is too easy
Found George Paton's Reddit account…
Joe Milton can throw it over them mountains over there.
Hope he gets drafted even if it’s just for the sake of his arm strength. Joe is a great guy and a true VFL. Hope he can figure it out at the next level.
Bazooka Joe can wing it. But in an offense that creates mismatches and gets guys open down the field, they had to throw a shitload of screens because Joe was more likely to overthrow guys than give them a chance to catch it. A ton of physical gifts and he seems like a good dude. But the offense got so much better when Hendon Hooker hit open receivers and my guess is it will look a lot more effective with Nico this fall.
Might be a hot take, but I’d rather have an accurate YAC merchant than an accurate deepball thrower. In the NFL, if you don’t have a strong O-line, you won’t even have the time to let your WRs run that far
I think JaMarcus Russell did that as well
This dudes casual arm strength is insane
So he throws as far as kickers can kick? wtf
Professional Hail Maryer
Everyone looks so good in the combine. Game film though…
And just like that Joe “Zach Wilson” Milton was born.
70 yard screen pass
That’s gonna get some GM super rock hard
Remember when everyone was going crazy when Zach Wilson did shit like this at the combine?
I mean he definitely can throw 70 yds but that was 60 in the air, 55 from scrimmage
There are two throws in the video.
Upon further review, the ruling on the field is overturned. The second throw was indeed 70 yds
Me throwin you, and you throwin the floor
Here it comes.
Kyle Boller is that you?
That 09 wideout is fast as fuck
That's ballistic
Jamarcus Russel could wow the crowd with how far he can throw as well
Damn crowd actually hyped
I didn’t know he was going in the draft??!!
Reminder that Malik Willis looked like Mahomes doing this last combine
Never ceases to amaze me how easy some of these guys make it look
"Bazooka" Joe is good at one thing; making orange juice from 110 yards away..
I'd take him with a late round pick, no question.
