QB or NOT QB.....

I'll be able to answer this question better after the season is over.

 

Preseason is where all questions are given definite answers, not the regular season lol

 

Save this thread til about November. Will have an answer by then.

 

Never seen anything in Mills. I think he’s a career backup.

Fight me!

 

Maybe, maybe no

 

How about we wait til the season plays out?

 

Nah, I think I'll listen to the Einstein that spent a week ranting about how badly the Browns robbed us in the Watson trade.

 

Texans are in a good spot. Let Mills have the season either he does well and we have our answer or he sucks and you tank and draft a QB.

What you don’t do is yank the kid if he struggles and go with Allen or Driskell. Sure as hell those two aren’t the answer.

 

He looked like Aaron Rodgers against the Chargers.

 

Gonna be a long season , so I'd rather answer now... Yall act like yall don't know how this season gonna play out.. lol

1. Hell no , Mills ain't a franchise QB but he's good enough to navigate this rebuild with low expectations..

2. Trading all their draft capital for a QB isn't in NE South's best interest... Though I think they'd be stupid enough to do it for DE Will Anderson or some other projected defensive stud ..

Other potential QBs…

Dane Brugler’s Top 50

3. *C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State (6-3, 220)
Stroud certainly benefits from Ryan Day’s offense and the elite talent around him, including a pair of first-round receivers in the 2022 class and a few more coming through the pipeline. But isolating the quarterback and his traits, Stroud’s passing anticipation and even-keeled focus on each play are remarkable. Stroud is a steady and generous facilitator — he trusts that his receivers are going to be where they need to be, and he delivers a catchable ball so receivers don’t have to work too hard for it. I’ll bet on those traits every day.

5. *Bryce Young, QB, Alabama (5-11, 197)
The size concerns will follow Young throughout the draft process and his NFL career, but his list of strengths as a quarterback is extensive. And at the top are the two P’s: poise and processing. He is patient, yet assertive and composed, and he routinely is able to make a spontaneous decision. Young does a great job keeping his feet connected with his eyes to alter his platforms, eliminate things quickly and find the vulnerable matchup downfield.

11. Will Levis, QB, Kentucky (6-4, 230)
In most physical categories, Levis is the prototype. He is well-built with impressive play strength and athleticism for his size. As a passer, Levis has a lightning-quick release with a whip for an arm and above-average velocity to make every necessary throw. He has the talent to deliver from whatever platform necessary and is just as comfortable outside the pocket as he is driving throws from a 3-yard drop. In terms of recognition and consistency, Levis isn’t a finished product, but the talent and intangibles are why he warrants this lofty ranking.

27. *Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida (6-4, 238)
Based on sample size (66 career pass attempts), Richardson’s scouting report currently requires a great deal of projection. But there is no college quarterback with more raw talent. He is a well-built, twitchy athlete with the speed to gash defenses with his legs and the big body to power through tacklers. Richardson has a powerful arm (both velocity and distance) to put the ball anywhere on the field, and although his delivery is a little long, the ball explodes out of his hand.

49. *Tanner McKee, QB, Stanford (6-6, 228)
McKee isn’t without flaws, but I was impressed by his ability to find his balance as a passer to show off his NFL-level arm and mind. He is a fantastic rhythm passer with the ball placement and vision to work through progressions, horizontally and vertically.

2. Bryce Young, Alabama (5-11, 197)
3. Tanner McKee, Stanford (6-6, 228)

9. Cameron Ward, Washington State (6-2, 225)
10. Connor Bazelak, Indiana (6-3, 220)

 

Will Levis should be there in the 5-9 range. Him and Richardson have the best physical tools by far in the draft. Levis has better numbers. Levis is a Josh Allen clone

 

I would hope that Nick would never put this franchise in the hands of an Alabama or especially an Ohio State qb. Rollin with the General

 

Levis might end up first overall. Which would push Stroud and Young down. I’m still not sold on either of them.
Young’s arm talent is insane, he’s just so small
