How do you think Davis Mills would have performed as starter last season?

I think he would've been decent and we would've won four games

 

Backup QB Syndrome is a real disease. In the absence of in-your-face negative data, many people extrapolate rosier-than-normal projections. The less you see, the more mysterious and alluring the backup becomes.

It's a good rule of thumb that if the backup QB had played, he probably would have done worse than everybody would project.

 

Yeah, and you see juuuuuuust enough outliers like Brock Purdy, Tom Brady or Kurt Warner who come in as backups and suddenly perform amazing that fans all assume that's what's waiting in the wings for THEIR team.

 

What I find funny is that we've seen Mills actually played and be a starter... why do fans still fantasize and wonder?

 

Since this thread is on top and I'm not bumping it up.......
This thread is stupid.
Season can't get here soon enough.

 

My guess is he would have played better than Watson did the past 2 years.

 

Hey no problem. We all love CJ. He needs to find himself a nice God fearing girlfriend (if he doesn't have a gf already) who shares his belief so he doesn't get tempted by the nonsense around.

 

Dude, don’t worry about it. At least I think you got your answer

 

There's nothing wrong with your thread. It's a reasonable thing to speculate on and we are in the doldrums of the NFL offseason, so there isn't going to be much to talk about once the draft is finalized until training camp starts. This website has enough polarization and diversity that no matter what thread you start there's going to be someone that thinks it is stupid, and lacks the decorum to keep it to themselves. Keep it up!

 

watching a few games at NRG with him at QB, he's major flaw is not knowing when the pocket is closing. Pretty much like a statue and once he's on the run, his accuracy drops a lot. Give him a nice pocket and time he throws pretty good but you probably can say that for all QB's at this level.

 

By 2027, teams are going to be paying good vet back ups $10 milly.

 

lmao at this thread.

 

Mills can be a side back up. He's got talent

 

We'd all be painting our nails pink in support of Caleb Williams being out no. 1 overall pick

 

Were we watching the same games? Mills didn't look like a statue to me.
