FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer has likened backup quarterback Joe Milton's arm strength and throw velocity to Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre's, his starting quarterback in 2008 when he was the offensive coordinator of the New York Jets .
That's certainly high praise, but Favre was also notorious for sometimes rifling the football too hard on shorter and intermediate throws. Him doing so occasionally led to Green Bay Packers wide receivers breaking their fingers when the weather got colder in northern Wisconsin. The last time Milton broke a teammate's finger throwing the football was when he was in high school, but he bristles at the notion that he throws too hard to his teammates in the NFL . Yes, he's seen the videos and memes about it
