I don't understand where this he can't throw is coming from. Once he is healthy again, he is a very good fit for this offense.
Who said he can't throw? There was a comment about seeing him throw like he was good and I asked if this person had seen him make all the throws a college QB would need to make. The guy hasn't played in a game yet and practices are blocked so how do we really know?
Actually, the poster you replied to doesn’t think he can throw. Like you said, he doesn’t know he’s talking out of his ***, but he has been hating on Smothers for a while.
Sorry, should have been more clear, didn't mean to imply you said it. There have been a few posters on here claiming he's not a good passer.
Those guys nailed it w/ Milton- worst case is he's not physically able and becomes a better QB coach than Verduzco. It's worth the scholarship.
Frost is already on record about bringing Milton as a grad assistant, so I think he's ours to lose.
If Milton calls Frost, I could see Frost telling him not to come here. It would be a bad decision for Milton if he is truely trying to put tape out and prove he is NFL ready! If he wants to become a QB coach than bring it on.
What does he have to lose? He needs to prove that he can play well after that horrific injury.
He has his whole NFL career to lose. Who in the funk is he going to throw the ball to? Now if he knows the NFL is a pipe dream than bring him in.
NFL career?
The NFL is a pipe dream for 99.99999999% of 5’11” quarterbacks.
Get real.
The tapes are for other college programs. He wants all to know He can still play. It shows all runs and touchdowns. Plus him running UCF Scout team this season. This is to show he is ready to compete for Job. Also, he practiced with NFL receivers in the offseason
It why Milton said it's his Dream. He knows the averages. He will do his best. He already said he will coach if he doesn't make it. He will give it his best shot. He a great person, Humble but a Fighter. He has that It factor.
I’m saying he needs film of him post surgery making NFL caliber throws and plays. He’s not doing that at NU.
Right, people are getting ahead of themselves with the NFL talk. If he can get on the field at all after suffering that kind of injury, it's a huge win. I still think he provides a lot of value to the young qb's in this system and provides some depth even if he never sees the field.
All you have to do is watch his film and it should scare the crap out of you.. but you would not spend the time or have the analytical skills to actually do that, so pretty much YOU are the one talking out your *** on here.

Several of his ex team mates ( all in the NFL catching balls) met in Orlando about a month ago and spent the afternoon catching balls, and running routes for him. They put the tape on social media.
He has spent the last two years leaning out, building arm strength. He can still spin it, and now has more velocity. His legs are the issue, and I think he will be a huge one year prize. He will make some coach look very smart.

You take him if he wants to come. End of story. Way too productive to not take a chance on him. He won’t be the runner that he once was but I’ll bet my left nut that he can throw “better than what we got” right now.
By film you mean the highlights on rivals or 247? You are basing all this off 3 minute highlights? The same highlights that got him a 4-star rating as a QB? And you are calling that analytical skills?
I'm not looking at either of those sites for Smothers film. But go ahead and make statements about who is talking out their *** when you don't know what you're talking about to begin with.
Please, please, PLEASE come to NU Milton!!! Frost's offense apparently doesn't work without a QB like you...
You are the one talking about his "film". You can call his HUDL or whatever else you find on the internet his "film" all you want, but I don't see how you can pretend to know more about the kid than people that have actually seen him play. People that have watched his actual games or have seen him at practice would be a much better resource than your thoughts based on a few minutes of highlights. You told another poster wait until you see him throw, like you know something and then say go watch his "film". That is talking out your ***.
He said this morning in a Orlando interview, he is only interested in joining a team that can win immediately, as well as having a strong O line to protect him. Draw your own conclusions. I think he goes to Miami if King leaves to be drafted.
Good, he should come here. We lose so many close, heart breaking games. Heck, we would most likely be 4-1 this year with him. He will get a ton of credit for the improvement and will have tape against some solid B1G defenses to show.
Well the last QB that wanted to transfer here won the heisman at LSU so If Milton has any interest at all we need to take him.

Bingo. On TV you don't get to see downfield what was available. They show you Adrian standing in the pocket staring at the routes like he's never seen a forward pass in his life, finally getting pressured and then running.
The announcers last Friday called him out a couple times for having guys wide open and just not letting it go. I'm not saying our WRs are all gonna be playing on Sundays but they can't be THAT bad either.
I guarantee with an All-22 angle we could spot a ton of times somebody was open and our QB didn't see it.
We're talking about NU like we didn't just put Tanner Lee in the NFL for having arm talent even though he was an obvious INT machine. If he shows he can rip it, some GM is going to develop a January - April hard-on for him. Trust me, I'm a Bears fan.
He's looking for what Teddy Bridgewater got: A chance to show he's not going to crumple over and burst into flames on the field if he takes some contact. Best Teddy could get was 3rd string for the Saints, suddenly he starts a few games and plays well, now he's the Panthers QB and playing well with both his legs still attached to his body.
I think they talk frequently. I guarantee both sides knew this was going to happen and know where Milton stands with Nebraska, long before it became public.
Because I've watched them. They're terrible. Watch how Alabama's WR's run routes. Or even Ohio State or Clemson. How are these guys even in the same league?
