ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys knew they were getting a young backup quarterback that needed development when they acquired Joe Milton in a trade from the New England Patriots this offseason.

Schottenheimer says he trusts Milton, but some sections of Cowboys Nation don’t, and after two poor preseason games, we wonder a) how long that trust will last and b) if that trust was and is misplaced in general.

For the second straight preseason game, the former New England Patriots backup quarterback was a disappointment. This time, it was a 31-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens where he completed 50% of his passes, threw a pick and was sacked for a safety.

The Cowboys have not been able to evaluate their down-roster weapons because of lackluster QB play from Joe Milton.

The Dallas Cowboys ’ 31-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at AT&T Stadium has put Brian Schottenheimer in quite a bind when it comes to quarterback Joe Milton. With the offense and Milton struggling for the second consecutive game, and against the Ravens, the receiver room didn’t get a fair chance to show what they could do.
