You have to factor in the gap in talent between Wilson and Mills. That’s like comparing Will Grier to Kyler Murray in the 2019 draft.

Or PJ Walker to Kyler Murray in general.  😏

 

 

Oh and speaking of PJ...

...conspicuous by his absence is CPsinceDay1

I looked him up and his account shows he's still not banned like he was supposed to be after the Jets game (unless he actually is and it just doesn't say so).

@rayzor, your thoughts, sir?

You mean like Giovanni Carmazzi, Chris Redman, Tee Martin, and Spergon Wynn being 4 of the 6 QBs taken before Tom Brady? Draft position isn't absolute.

QB Dave Mills                       DE Charles Omenihu (52.1)
RB Phillip Lindsay(69.8)       DT Ross Blacklock (30.2)
RB Mark Ingram II (78.7*)    DT Maliek Collins (64.7*)
WR Brandin Cooks (81.1)     DE Whitney Mercilus (39.5)
WR Chris Conley (70.1)        LB Zach Cunningham (60.9)
WR Danny Amendola (74.9) LB Kamu Grugier-Hill (50.4)
TE Pharaoh Brown(81.3)      LB Christian Kirksey (48.2)
LT Laremy Tunsil (75.4)       CB Vernon Hargreaves III (41.2)
LG  Tytus Howard (62.1)      CB Terrance Mitchell (68.2)
C Justin Britt (62.0*)            CB Desmond King II (67.0)
RG  Max Scharping (52.1)    S Justin Reid (60.7)
RT Marcus Cannon (70.1*)    S Eric Murray (53.9)

On paper, they have rookie QB,  with an OL similar to ours, OK RB's,  good receivers and good TE.   The Dline has a couple weak links, as does the LB core and the secondary.

Davis Mills shouldn't be able to do much of anything against our defense. That means the Texans defense will wear down from being on the field for too long trying to chase CMC and the rest. With Mills at QB and an exhausted defense the Texans should unravel and we should win comfortably.

There is no reason why Phil Snow shouldn't be able to destroy Mills with our loaded defense. When your QB is rattled, untalented, and has no experience it's a wrap.

On the other hand it's any given Sunday. The Texans have talent spread around on both sides of the ball, and if we don't play well then they can make a game of it even with Mills.

Uhhhh….for unestablished rookies, draft position is pretty meaningful (or more specifically, how good of a prospect they are which is reflected in their draft position).

So you are of the opinion that every QB taken in every round of this draft is equally talented and capable until proven otherwise? Trevor Lawrence and Sam Ehlinger are on equal footing in terms of skill?

It will come down to stopping the run and managing screen plays which Houston will use to slow down the rush. A great run game is a rookies best friend. Coupled with a short passing game to get the ball out quick and it will come down to tackling and solid technique. Teams will figure out that you have to beat us by nickel and diming us down the field trying to negate our pass rush.

No, my point is that they are unestablished. Look at Lawrence, be has been garbage. You can not rely soely on draft position to accurately predict success.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      1) Signed 2 high profile guards to big contracts. Did we need guards? Yes. But there's a reason you draft guards and pay tackles. It's easier to find solid guards in the draft. Now we have the most expensive line in the league and still can't get 100 yards passing before halftime.  2) Traded up to get a RB when we didn't really need one. Chuba is one of the better RBs in the league right now and while it is a contract year, we had a crap ton of holes all over. Brooks was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make. 3)Spending a small fortune to build a supporting cast for BY. Bryce didn't even put the work in himself during the offseason by his own admission. We didn't need to build an offense specifically for BY. We brought in DJ and drafted XL. These guys need a QB with a live arm. That's not BY. Speed kills but not when your QB can't legitimately make an accurate, deep ball strike without putting a ton of air under it and floating it.  4. Not looking for a true center. There were several available and it's been a position of need for years. We could have had our choice but we rolled with Corbitt, who did look good at the spot, but had an injury bug that struck again this year.  5) He didn't bring in any serious competition for Bryce. Now you can say that BY needs time to develop and we needed to show we had faith in him, blah blah blah. But the simple matter of fact is Bryce looked like a PS QB last year, Andy has one foot in the QB grave, and there was never an attempt to actually compete for the job. If he genuinely believed that BY was going to magically make it all come together watching YT and chillin for 4 months to unplug, then there's nothing else that needs to be said.  The goal of every GM should be to build a winning team. Players are commodities and loyalty leads you to an early walk out the door. We've tried to build a system to work around the most limited QB in NFL history. 60 years of history should have told him it was never going to work. And benching BY after 2 games is the real truth, he never should have been starting anyway. And either Dan should have known that as the great MLB that he was after watching BY's game tape, or someone else is making the call and Dan is just rubberstamping that decision.  Either way, doesn't matter. We're screwed because we've devoted 2 years of resources to build around a player that didn't put in the work in the off season after one of the worst NFL QB seasons ever.

      Offensive Starters (Where are they found in the draft)

      By BrianS · Posted

      Something I find interesting is that you are more likely to find successful players as UDFA's than you are to find them with a single pick in any round past 3.  Those 3rd round compensatory choices?  Largely worthless.  Yes, I get it, there are a lot more UDFA's than there are drafted players in later rounds.  Basically, if you're fishing for starters you are simply not going to find anything in Rounds 4 - 7 with any regularity.

      By CRA · Posted

      the argument that Dan Morgan was assistant GM for years while running counter to everything both his bosses signed off on (who look down at him and his staff for info).....is a tough sell.  I feel we do a variant of this every year.  You aren't this bad...becuase of 1 person.  You are this bad because of LOTS of bad people.  It was never just Joe Brady.  Which is why firing him didn't lead to better offense.  It was never just Matt Rhule.  It was never just Fitterer.    As bad as we are, we need to scorch Earth this puppy and quit letting people who were part of making the mess be the designed folks to lead us out of the mess.  when David Tepper and Jim Caldwell found the answer on the roster......it was clear from the jump nothing had really changed.
