Back to Mills discussion. 610 in the loop, this 4th of July Friday Weekend, spent abundance of air time discussing should Mills start or sit. Never in Texan history can I remember so much talk about a 3rd rd pick? Which should be a red flag, as to just how ridiculous all this pressure, expectations, bad pick, not ready to start are. He is a 3rd rd. Developmental QB. Period. When there is opportunity to draft a QB with upside at value, Texans should be making that pick every year. Each GM (not Caserio) has failed this franchise of QB development.
Best examples for Casserly was drafting Henson in 6th and turning him into a 3rd from the Cowboys (I’m not looking this up, just off memory so don’t sue me). Smith drafted TJ Yates in 5th and he actually played meaningful snaps when Schaub went down (playoffs). Otherwise, the one hit, was Rick Smith’s move up for Watson. That’s it.
Bringing this up for last time. Pep Hamilton is the Texans QB coach. Last year he was Herberts QB coach. If push comes to shove (Taylor goes down) and Pep says Mills is good to go, then give the man reps earned. If not, he sits, and feed Driscoll to the dogs and let chips fall where they may.
