Cowboys QB2 Battle: Milton vs Grier Under New HC Schottenheimer

Dak Prescott remains the undisputed leader in Dallas, but with the new season closing in, the Cowboys can’t ignore the possibility of him missing time — even temporarily.

Milton brings pure arm strength and pocket presence, ideal for a pass-first system. Grier, on the other hand, offers mobility and RPO savvy — perfect for creative schemes Schottenheimer is rumored to favor.

The question is simple — if Prescott sits, will Dallas choose the safe, experienced path or roll the dice on a dynamic game-changer?

“Milton gives you textbook reliability, Grier gives you explosive uncertainty,” one NFL analyst shared.

This QB decision won't just fill a backup spot — it could signal how bold the Cowboys plan to be in 2025.
