    I just don't see his physical tools the way you do.

    This year will be a success if by the end Pep Hamilton is the coach which he probably should have been from the get go.

    They might not translate to the field-it also may be hard to tell in limited time and conservative system. But his testing numbers in pro day and in high school were off the charts.
    From a physical standpoint, he’s every bit the athlete Deshaun, Allen, Herbert, Tannehill, Rodgers, Mahomes are.
    Not quite on Lamar, Kyler, Russell levels.

    Davis Mills doesn't even scream "Andrew Luck" to me in terms of athleticism

    This is a dumb comment firstly. You do realize Andrew Luck is one of the most athletically gifted QBs to have ever tested at the combine right?
    Faster, quicker, more agile, more explosive than Watson.
    Only athlete similar is Cam Newton in terms of size and testing to Andrew Luck

    I do realize that, genius. I'm just questioning you hyping up Davis Mills like he's the second coming of Andrew Luck.

    If he was so athletic, we would've seen glimpses of it in the limited game tape from his Stanford days. He might've tested better than Watson, but I don't see those traits on display on the field of play (which actually matter).

    Let's see him against NFL competition first. We'll see then how "faster, quicker, more agile, more explosive than Watson" he is.

    He had some nice runs in college, never got caught.
    And I never said he was more agile or quicker. Luck was by a mile over Watson.

    You and others keep acting like Watson is some freak athlete, he’s not. Freak athletes at QB are Vick, RG3, Lamar, Luck, Cam.

    Watson is in the same mold as Rodgers, Allen, McNabb, Tannehill, Elway type athlete.

    Mills tested better than him in several categories. Still wouldn’t say he’s more elusive.

    I'm not arguing that DW is super athletic. I'm just saying that the notion that there's a noticeable difference between him and Mills in athleticism is wonky.

    I do want to see Mills testing numbers show up in game.
    The positives in his scouting reports are enough to make me curious.

    Of course I’d prefer Watson over Mills-if there weren’t serious allegations. Just because he’s proven his testing numbers on the field against pros.

    Should probably take the logo off the helmets again (if they haven’t already). #CultureChange #ThatllShowEm #WeAreNotPatriotsSouth

    Media has been trashing them nonstop(probably deserved) now they’re whining because they don’t get what they want?
    I can’t stand some media

    I said this earlier in offseason, but really think our personnel is much better suited for a 4-3. We’ll see how Lovies system has grown, hopefully it’s not the antiquated Tampa 2. Don’t mind zone at all, but throw some wrinkles and be aggressive
