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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
