The ball wasn't hit and I'm not sure his arm was... but he was hit enough that he couldn't step into and follow throughonly saw it live, didn’t notice his arm was hit, if it was as seen on replay it must have been glancing blow because the ball rotated with nice spin and 10 yards over target. Would seem to me the ball would be fluttering and short if impacted by contact. Regardless it was thrown into coverage. Or maybe replay will say something different
The line no has now moved to 7.5
Exactly. There are times where Mills will throw a couple of passes where he sees the coverage, makes a quick decision and throws a great downfield pass. It's almost enough to think that he is going to get on a roll and then a 3 and out always follows. I guess, key words, "it's almost enough".
It's considered a tie.

Mills 2nd INT at the end of the game was not on him at all. Line got blown up right away yet again and it was a miracle heave on 4th down. The 1st one he faced pressure also, but he sailed it regardless so he owns that one. As it were, the stat line was ok in the end, but his QB rating is over 100 I believe without that 2nd end-of-game pick.
On the INT against the Bears. Posters miss that Mills started looking to the right, had a WR open to his right, held the ball and then threw left. At the end of the day, if he throws right, I don't think he throws an INT. I don't get why he wouldn't share the blame for that INT.
Really it's the unclutch gene that bothers me the most. Then I remind myself of how little football he's played.
Has Mills ever been clutch in college?
What fascinate me is that people didn't realize how Brady and Montana were clutch in college.
Don't know, he didn't play much.
Look at Trubisky.
Matt Schaub was a 4 year vet by the time he got here
I would argue Mills has had 2 decent starts so far this year. 99.3 passer rating in Week 1 (10th ranked PFF QB), and would have been over 100 against the Chargers if it wasn't the forced 4th down heave late in the 4th, where the line got blown up right away. Sure, his play was wildly inconsistent, but stats wise they were more than 'decent'.
Decent stretches, but VERY inconsistent. He talks like he does not get shook up, but turnovers and dropped passes and 4th quarter seem to tighten him up versus loosen him up like the top guys. I am starting to sour. Was thinking Pep would get him more consistent. Actually, the more we lose, the less that is on the line, maybe that will free him up. Anyway, give him the season to mature and make a judgement. In that third quarter, he was smoking hot, only missed passes were drops. Did Pep open it up, or Chargers play soft?? Pep has to find that secret sauce and let the offense play versus be so darn constrained. For a tall guy, it seems he gets tipped balls a lot too at VERY bad times, probably just a Texan jinx.
When critiquing a QB, you should check more than just his passer rating. Also check his QBR for those games.
The old eye test will tell you more than either. Mills has not been good for a full 60 min in a game yet
To be fair, he said he would form his argument that way. Not that he didn’t look at his QBR.
I’m with you emotionally. His gaffs have been at the most perfect inoportune times.
Just had time to review the tape and clearly ball was out and on track before contact. Doesn’t matter if he couldn’t step through at that point because ball had left his hand, unobstructed. He overthrew the route, into coverage, a perfect spiral to the defender. Play reviewed. Now if you guys want to make excuses the interception is not on him go ahead and have at it. I try to be as impartial and objective as possible. Boo me like the refs, who by the way called a good game.
Schaub was on the bench his first 3 years, and that's where Mills would have been on a decent team.
No one even knows what the formula is for QBR. I do know that it takes rushing yards by QBs into account. A minus for Mills. Also garbage time stats are downgraded. That will hurt Mills. Mills will not be a QBR darling.
Thinking about this. We are seeing some of the same issues as last year's offense. However, last year, Mills would have a quarter, half or even game(s) that made us see progress. This year, it has been more of a series here and there, but not even a solid quarter of work.
Good points and when he's uncomfortable whether with the OL play or the play call, his mechanics are off, he is late coming off his first read or immediately looking for the checkdown aka Rex Burkhead. Right now, there just isn't any consistency with his decision making.
Wait a minute. Are we calling for Mills to play a little hero ball to see if he has the clutch gene?
I addressed this in the Mills thread... there is 1 huge difference between last year and this. He has no one to learn from and no time to watch it done successfully.
I'm calling for him to play better in 4rh qtrs. Has nothing to do with hero ball
You should you’ve a lot invested in him.
