Then let's hope Caserio thinks Neal is the best player in the draft & the Jags & Lions don't.Just because they spent high picks on failures in the past, doesn't mean Caserio shouldn't pick the best and safest pick in the draft. Neal

If Neal isn't there at #3, then I hope Sauce is the pick.Then let's hope Caserio thinks Neal is the best player in the draft & the Jags & Lions don't.
Behind Stingley and Gardner, who are your next three cb's.If Neal isn't there at #3, then I hope Sauce is the pick.
McDuffie, Elam, and Booth. I also like Marcus Jones and Tariq Woolen.Behind Stingley and Gardner, who are your next three cb's.
I have Trent McDuffie next, then Kyle Gordon and then Kaiir Elam.

Woolen isn't quite ready to be a day one starter, but I think he has tremendous upside.Booth

Just remember I'm terrible at evaluating CB's.
This morning's Chronicle expanded on this stat. First, the negative. Mills ranked 27th among QB's with only 42 total passes of 20+ yards. This was all on Culley's offense and insistance on running the ball first.
Pep is off Harbaugh/Shaw tree. Its a west coast offense for the most part. Honestly, when he had Luck, some of his protections got Luck beat up, but some of it was Luck the playmaker also. It has to be better than the Godsey,BOB,Kelly bs we witnessedThis morning's Chronicle expanded on this stat. First, the negative. Mills ranked 27th among QB's with only 42 total passes of 20+ yards. This was all on Culley's offense and insistance on running the ball first.
Now to break down the good news, of those 42 passes, he completed 20, for 643 yds, 6 TD's and only one INT.
In yesterday's presser, Mills said he's already seen part of the new playbook, and it will be a scheme that takes "advantage of big plays and vertical routes down the field".
Maybe it's drinking kool-aid, but I believe we can be a little excited with our expectations. Whether it will be a sucess is up in the air, but maybe we are finally going to see the change we've all wanted.
I'm not sure if this is a feel good stat and to set expectations for Mills or a reminder of the Texans history of below average QB play or to take it with a grain of salt because a previous rookie QB got hurt on his way to easily surpassing those numbers or a combination of all these reminders.Texans quarterback Davis Mills reflects on growth, confidence entering second NFL season
Davis Mills completed 66.8 percent of his throws for a Texans franchise rookie record 2,664 yards to pass former top overall pick David Carr.

All of the aboveI'm not sure if this is a feel good stat and to set expectations for Mills or a reminder of the Texans history of below average QB play or to take it with a grain of salt because a previous rookie QB got hurt on his way to easily surpassing those numbers or a combination of all these reminders.
Best ability is availabilityto take it with a grain of salt because a previous rookie QB got hurt on his way to easily surpassing those numbers
Best ability is availability
& it is what it is. We have sorry team, with sorry history, with sorry records
Sorry.
See my post in this thread at #357 for some additional breakdown on this stat.Well, I wasn't aware of this. But it should make you feel better about Mills.
_____________^^______________
Davis Mills had the highest passer rating in the entire NFL on passes that went 20+ yards, according to Pro Football Focus.
Pick up from where he left off last year and continue to show progression.What does Davis Mills have to do in 2022 to convince you he’s a “Franchise QB”?
You are not going to find a better QB in this draft unless you use a 1st rounder. Maybe not even then.
I'd rather they not draft a QB at all in this draft.If their goal was to give Mills some competition then they'd probably take another QB in the 3rd, I don't think they'll spend a 1 or 2 on a QB this draft. If they did, I'd have to call that a bad move. We'll be finding out in a few weeks. We finally have a draft coming up that will have some real drama. LOL
If Mills doesn't break out this year, people will be calling for his head.The B!tch of it is, if poor kids doesn't have a carrier year, I guess the team writes him off and picks a QB high in next years draft. Hell, Josh Allen didn't have his breakout year till his 3rd year, and look at him now!
If Neal isn't there at #3, then I hope Sauce is the pick.
What’s considered “break out”?If Mills doesn't break out this year, people will be calling for his head.
I'm thinking breakout territory should be around 9 wins.What’s considered “break out”?
remember the team around him will only be marginally better. 7 wins is probably on the high side
Lol 9 winsI'm thinking breakout territory should be around 9 wins.
That should get most of the fans buzzing.
I didn't say it would happen. We were talking hypothetically about what a breakout season would look like.Lol 9 wins
What does Vegas say
Well, at least the optimists - like me!I'm thinking breakout territory should be around 9 wins.
That should get most of the fans buzzing.

May as well be Tannehill.I'm thinking breakout territory should be around 9 wins.

I will be happy either way. I just want a difference maker. I just hope difference makers are drafted. Remember when people didn't like the Watt pick because it wasn't a positional need. LOL. Just draft great players. One guy I would consider trading up to say 10 for is Jermaine Johnson. This guy is a difference makerI would rather have Hutchinson, Walker and then Sauce. A great edge is as good as a DB. See JJ and him cause enough problems for an offensive they didn't get a QB going
Jesus. Can we put a team around him first? Right now they aren't any better than they were last year. You almost have to improve talent wise with all the draft picks they have, but that's still wait and see. And the Texans had a QB 2 years ago who led the NFL in passing yards and still only won 4 games. So even if Mills had a breakout year statistically, that still may not translate to wins. The talent throughout this team has to get better for that to happen.I'm thinking breakout territory should be around 9 wins.

Stop being a kill joy dude.Of course, but 9 wins improved? They need a LOT of stuff that even a loaded draft isn't going to fix in 1 off-season.
Can I express my opinion without you getting butt hurt about it? Thanks.
If you can't handle reality, that's on you.Stop being a kill joy dude.
Understood, but you also have FA, new HC and other coaching staff.Of course, but 9 wins improved? They need a LOT of stuff that even a loaded draft isn't going to fix in 1 off-season.
I’d just like them to address the offense, overall. I don’t care how, but just get weapons and get the offense to where they can play with anyone. And I’m not advocating to forget the defense either.Understood, but you also have FA, new HC and other coaching staff.
Not forgetting Bengals went from 4 wins to the SB in one offseason so why is 5 more wins so unrealistic?

With a bit of luck, our draftees will be nice upgrades and help the team become competitive.Because they already had guys like Mixon/Uzomah/Higgins/Boyd/ Jonah Williams in place before drafting Chase.
Who on the Texans has the ability of these play makers, besides maybe Cooks?

Well Collins and Jordan should take a jump. And if we could get a stud back in Peps ( not O’Brien scheme) anything could happen.Because they already had guys like Mixon/Uzomah/Higgins/Boyd/ Jonah Williams in place before drafting Chase.

He continues to improve.So what would you need to see from Davis Mills to name him the Texans franchise QB?
