Milton, a sixth-round draft pick by the New England Patriots last season, was a physical freak of nature, but there were concerns about his accuracy and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-joe-milton-hits-back-critics-throwing-style">ability to throw with touch.</a> Aside from those concerns, Cowboys fans were also puzzled by the decision to trade for a young quarterback while they still have a perfectly solid quarterback in Dak Prescott.</p><p>Milton’s first two preseason games for the Cowboys seemed to validate these concerns, as the quarterback looked every bit like the project he was pegged to be. However, in the final game of the preseason, Milton <a href="https://x.com/jasrifootball/status/1959071811309568184" rel="noopener">gave fans a glimpse of his true potential.</a> He completed 10 of his 18 passes, throwing for 132 yards. His highlight came in the third quarter, when he threw a gorgeous touchdown to Jalen Brooks.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">JOE MILTON. ELITE BALL PLACEMENT.</p><p>GORGEOUS TOUCHDOWN PASS.<br><a href="https://t.co/uSJtUfIou9">pic.twitter.com/uSJtUfIou9</a></p><p>— JPA (@jasrifootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/jasrifootball/status/1959071811309568184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 23, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>Milton showed incredible touch on the pass, lofting it perfectly over Brooks to where only he could make a play on the ball. It’s a great sign for the young quarterback: earlier this preseason, the Cowboys quarterback overthrew his receivers on a route similar to Brooks’. Being able to throw with finesse like that will unlock a new level for the sophomore.</p><p>Milton finishes his preseason stint with the Cowboys with a 55.3% completion rate, throwing for 397 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. There aren’t impressive numbers, but there’s enough good stuff during the preseason that Cowboys fans should feel better about the trade.</p><p>Will the sophomore quarterback see any playing time in the regular season? Probably not. Dallas is still in win-now mode this season. Despite how some Cowboys fans feel about him, Prescott is still one of the top quarterbacks in the league. Their offense got a revamp after trading for George Pickens. There are some glaring holes on the team, yes, but they have positioned themselves to contend for a title this year. Save for some garbage-time minutes, Milton is unlikely to see this field this year.</p><p>Still, perhaps this performance convinces the Cowboys front office (and their fans) that Milton is their future quarterback after Prescott. If they can continue to develop the quarterback, he will be an excellent asset for the franchise.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If Dak Prescott goes down, Milton is probably the best option the Cowboys have. And that’s probably why he is getting such a long look in the preseason.</p><p>Milton is trying to navigate through the <a href="https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/joe-milton-breaks-down-mistakes-vs-ravens-where-he-needs-to-improve" rel="noopener">issues he showed</a> against the Ravens, according to dallascowboys.com.</p><p>“If it wasn’t for the interception, I feel like it would’ve been a smooth C-plus,” Milton said. “But right now, I still feel like I’d give myself a D just because I’ve got to clean my eyes up.”</p><p>His interception seemed to be the thing that stood out in his performance against the Ravens.</p><p>“Just looking at (Jonathan) Mingo, knowing that he beat the corner, seeing the boundary safety roll down to that side, and just knowing that I had a one-on-one over there with Mingo and that corner,” Milton said. “And I just trusted Mingo. But I just got to fix my eyes and see the post safety roll in over there.”</p><p>Also, Milton took a safety when Keyon Martin tackled him.</p><p>“I didn’t see him,” Milton said. “I knew my hot responsibilities; I just didn’t see him. Just because there was a bunch [formation] over there and he was hiding between the tight end and the bunch, so I really just didn’t see him.”</p><p>Schottenheimer said Milton needs to learn from his mistakes against the Ravens. Included in the mix, Schottenheimer said Milton should have thrown the ball away instead of taking the safety. But Schottenheimer said he’s giving Milton rope.</p><p>“You’re not going to yell, you’re not going to scream, you’re going to just teach,” Schottenheimer said. “The thing I love about Joe is when you talk to him, he’s like, ‘You’re right, you’re right.'”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He also logged one interception after making a questionable throw into double coverage. Milton also threw an interception in last week’s preseason game.</p><p>Thankfully Milton rebounded in the second half, ending the game 9-of-18 for 122 yards and an interception. He did get an opportunity to showcase his arm on a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/dallas-cowboys/cowboys-news-joe-milton-49-yard-bomb-jonathan-mingo">49-yard completion with Jonathan Mingo</a>.</p><p>Schottenheimer added that “I feel like I don’t have to decide anything today” about the team’s backup quarterback job.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/cowboys-news-dak-prescott-new-backup-patriots-trade">Cowboys acquired Joe Milton III in a trade</a> with the Patriots back in April.</p><p>Milton is in a training camp competition with Will Grier for Dallas’ backup job behind Dak Prescott.

That completion showcased his deep-ball ability, but the drive stalled due to a holding penalty, forcing Brandon Aubrey to kick a 36-yard field goal, cutting the deficit to 18-10.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Joe Milton  FIRES it deep to Jonathan Mingo for 49 yards 😤<a href="https://t.co/Mi1JPT16BT">pic.twitter.com/Mi1JPT16BT</a></p><p>— NFL on ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsNFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsNFL/status/1956887578474373464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 17, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Outside of that connection, Milton had difficulty sustaining drives and was pressured frequently, including a sack in the end zone for a safety on the opening possession.</p><p>The Cowboys’ offense struggled to gain traction, totaling just 176 yards on 47 plays and averaging 2.5 yards per rush on 20 carries. Miles Sanders led the ground attack but was largely contained, including a fourth-and-1 stop at the Baltimore 45-yard line.</p><p>Milton’s turnovers also hampered momentum, throwing an interception in the end zone after Dallas had just forced Baltimore to punt, giving the Ravens another scoring opportunity before halftime.</p><p>Defensively, Dallas had some standout moments. Cornerback Andrew Booth intercepted Cooper Rush and returned it for a touchdown to put the Cowboys ahead 7-5 in the first quarter, and Kemon Hall added a second interception in the second quarter.</p><p>However, Baltimore responded efficiently with a Keith Kirkwood touchdown pass and three field goals by rookie kicker Tyler Loop, building an 18-7 halftime lead.</p><p>In the fourth quarter, the Cowboys advanced to the Baltimore 18-yard line, but an 11-yard sack on Milton led to another field goal, making it 21-13.</p><p>Baltimore quickly responded with a seven-play, 52-yard drive ended by a two-yard touchdown run from D’Ernest Johnson, effectively sealing the game at 31-13. Will Grier replaced Milton late, completing a 33-yard pass to Princeton Fant before being strip-sacked, but no further scoring occurred.</p><p>Looking ahead to the preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons and the finalization of its 53-man roster, the Cowboys will need more reliable quarterback play to back up their defense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
