    You can literally add Taylor to the list of career back ups in there. Him, Fitzpatrick, Brissett, Foles.

    What will be funny is when they give Mills all the time he "needs" and pass up on worthwhile prospects and at the end if he's nothing more than a guy out there all the blue blood super fans will say is "well we had to give him a chance" LOL - at least we'll have Tyrod Taylor!

    Mills may be able to become a serviceable backup in time. He will be able to make a nice chunk of change holding a clipboard.

    Watson is a top 5 qb with heavy baggage.

    Good thing we have Watson and Mills!!! Stacked. Maybe they can both start.

    Still recalling some of the comments after Deshaun's Cincy game in 2017. Just a rb who throws the ball occasionally. His arm isn't strong enough.
    Can't speak for the op or his intention but when I post stats with the rookie class it's to show the progression is on par with his peers of this season and those that came before. We can only hope he keeps climbing and progressing. If he doesn't, you go back to draft board.

    Good to see there's a flip side to mine, right?

    The problem last night is that the Texans ran a high school game plan. And a game plan that a high school coach would run if he had a bad quarterback, at that.

    Well, he has the size. The arm. The mobility.
    Does he have the QB processing and decision making? Don’t know yet

    I wish Mills was 50% the player Watson is. Would have won yesterday's game.
    If this is a losing season, please draft more qbs. I rather we try all our options than rely on what some poster describe as a Savage like qb.

    Let's not get too giddy here.

    After the first season it was very clear that Watson had MVP talent and still does. If Watson didn't have the legal issues he has we'd still be begging him to play for us...or would have traded him for an absolute haul.

    I think Mills has more potential than most people but that's because most people think he tops out at being a good backup QB. I think he can be a decent starting level journeyman QB, think Fitzpatrick.

    It's a team sport. And the Texans just need to get their ish together. A lot of the criticism of Mills is a byproduct of fans being frustrated by what's going on with the team as a whole. This Mills kid was out there on three days prep and didn't embarass himself at all. It's too early to tell about his future. The Texans just didn't have enough to win. Same ole story, I like Caserio but I just wish the McNairs would sell the team TBH.

    They probably would’ve been 3-0 if Watson was starting.

    You do realize we'll get 1st round picks eventually for Watson I'd he doesn't end up in jail don't you? We can always draft a 1st round QB next year.

    Could woulda shoulda. Too bad Watson doesn't give a damn. He's getting paid for nothing.

    I don't think anyone's giddy about the situation Watson put us in. Just hoping Mills gets better with time. Eventually we will get 1st round picks for Watson and can draft another 1st round QB if Mills isn't good enough to be our starter by then.
