    Yeah, but he cant throw the deep ball.

    Makes me think these posters either are looking to find something wrong with Mills (He doesn't throw an accurate deep ball LMAO) or dont actually watch the games. It could be that some of them are looking for anything in hope that Mills fails, either because they're p!ssed that Watson isn't going to be the Texans QB anymore, or they would rather Mills fail than be wrong.

    I’m not sure what you’re wanting.
    He had some throws that were lucky, literally every QB in the league does. Every superstar has luck on their side because they take chances and give their receivers chances.
    You made the claim, either back it up or don’t.

    Calm down, fanboy. I never said bad things about your guy.

    I was saying, talking about his stats, that they are a bit misleading due to PT. Like the ones earlier that had him as the best Red Zone QB in the league...but he had about 20% of the RZ pass attempts that the other QBs around him did.

    Great rookie year, he should get 17 starts next season and see what happens.

    Well, he did make the most of his opportunities.

    Hopefully Caserio can fix the OL, run game and get Mills some weapons to work with, so Mills has has more RZ opportunities. So far Mills RZ efficiency has been a surprise.

    Gimme a ****ing break, sorry for offending your Texans sensibilities.

    Let's not talk again about things until the draft.

    Winston and Mills are real similar in ability imo.
    Luck and Herbert are two of the biggest freaks playing QB ever.
    Pep has worked magic with accuracy

    no winston and luck are similar... in fact winston had a 97 overall draft grade by nfl scouts inc which is what trevor lawrence had. Winston was a generational qb who should have chosen stanford over fsu. Would have been the heir to andrew luck and would have had a black head coach to guide him

    i dont see how mills is similar to winston at all

    here is mel kiper on jameis when he was at fsu

    Dude, put the pipe down. Luck is way better athlete and prospect than Winston. Winston was/is a pocket passer that can move a little and a gunslinger

    https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2015jwinston.php

    https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2012aluck.php

    https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2021TLawrence.php

    those are the draft profiles of luck, winston and lawrence .. those 3 are the best qb prospects since elway

    the only difference between them is that winston had "alleged" off-the field issues.. they are pretty much perfect prospects when it came to on field ability

    I know what their scouting profile is.
    Winston isn’t in the same class of athlete as Luck or Lawrence.
    Mills and Winston are very similar in size, arm strength and mobility.
    Winston isn’t on the level of those others.

    Not talking about recruitment
