    I am think autocorrect gotcha and you meant aberration.

    You think Lawrence, Fields and Wilson had that much better of a team around them? Heck, Lawrence and Fields had an even worse head coach to play for. Lance had the better team and coach but didn't get much of an opportunity to play. He will this year. And Lawrence and Fields better coaches to play for and Lawrence and Wilson get more talent to play with.

    Again, I understand the interest in supporting the local team. But saying Mills is better than any of the above is pretty questionable. And then you have Mahomes, Allen, Murray, LJax, Herbert, Burrows, Brady, Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Stafford, Prescott, Cousins, Carr, Tannehill, Hurts, Tua, Mac Jones, and even Matt Ryan and Baker Mayfield in front of him. That puts Mills mid twenties at best.

    You can win games with a mid twenties QB if you have great players in the other skill positions. We don't.

    Hurts and Tua aren’t better than Mills right now.

    Chicago had much better weapons to work with. Montgomery/Mooney/Robinson/Kmet/Graham/Grant are much better than what Mills had to work with. A better OL too, I wasn't a fan of Nagy but he was atleast as good as Culley.

    Lawrence had better RB's and the WR's were close to the same, neither team had a decent TE. Houston had better coaching.

    Houston had better coaching.
    There is something you don't here everyday!!
    But true in this case.

    Brandin Cooks and Mooney? Pretty much a wash last season. ARob barely used. Kmet underused. The running game was better (Monty/Herbert).

    Haven't studied DR yet, but his winning record and speed are intriguing.

    Still have holes on the offensive line. With having Tunsill and Howard let's add another elite guy and make that line strong as possible. Let them all get time and experience as young linemen and once the rebuild is over they all will have chemistry and elite talent.

    OK, celebrate that. Me... I will be looking at the upcoming season, and what the QBs do moving forward. Most people expect Fields, Lance, Wilson, and Lawrence to make significant advances. We will see if Mills does. Again, I expect he will be somewhere in the mid twenties among NFL quarterbacks. Most NFL experts do as well. But things can work out differently.

    Me too

    I'm looking forward to seeing what Mills can do when protected and with a run game. I bet we see more games like the Chargers game.

    Why wouldn’t Mills make the same advances?

    Be smart, Nick...

    Take Neal at 3 and Johnson II at 13, if he's there.

    I want to see if Nick can hustle another team tonight by trading one of his draft picks to acquire more draft capital.

    Hate that they reached.

    Should have taken Neal or Thibs.

    This dude has injury history and apparently doesn’t like to tackle.

    The titans getting Willis with their 4th pick is an underrated steal. While all of his highlights are running plays, still, he was first round material heading into the draft. So low risk, high reward replacement for the Tannehill. Our Division. They've gone full re-build too.

    Good value for them, but he’s not going to be a good QB. He needs someone who can develop actual QB skills. Same with Corral

    Why would you expect those guys to improve while David won’t? Silliness. If we picked Davis in the first, I guarantee people like you would be singing a different tune.
