CONTROVERSY in Dallas: Should Joe Milton or Sam Howell be QB2 for the Dallas Cowboys? With Dak Prescott firmly established as the Cowboys starting quarterback, one of the most intriguing battles of training camp is happening directly behind him—and Joe Milton’s massive upside could make this decision much more difficult than expected. James Duncan breaks down the Dallas Cowboys QB2 battle between Joe Milton and Sam Howell. Howell brings NFL starting experience and could represent the safer option behind Dak Prescott, but Milton possesses the type of physical tools that are impossible to ignore. With his size, mobility and cannon of an arm, could Joe Milton give the Cowboys something completely different at backup quarterback? But winning QB2 will require more than highlight-reel throws. As the Cowboys move toward preseason action, Milton needs to show consistency, smart decision-making, accuracy on routine throws and the ability to command the Dallas offense when the pressure rises. If he can combine those qualities with his elite physical talent, should the Cowboys bet on his upside over Howell’s experience? The preseason could ultimately decide the battle. Can Joe Milton prove he’s more than just an incredible athlete with a huge arm? Does Sam Howell’s experience make him the better insurance policy for Dak? And which quarterback should Cowboys Nation want behind Prescott when the regular season begins?
