Davis Mills - lex24 - 12-26-2021

Terrific game today.  Two wins in a row.  Staking a claim.

RE: Davis Mills - JJJ - 12-26-2021

He looked good doing it, too.

Yep. A couple guys here are going to need to rethink their analysis.

Playing at th 49ers next Sunday.

Who are you rooting for?

RE: Davis Mills - DC 86 - 12-26-2021

21-27 for 254 yards, 2 TD and 0 interceptions.

He had one throw in particular that was very impressive: from his own goal line, standing in the pocket, he hit a receiver running a go pattern about fifty yards down the right sideline. Not every NFL quarterback could make that throw.

Niners.

But ideal scenario is Mills plays very well in a tough loss for the Texans!

I’ll root for the Niners. They need it.  But I hope Mills plays well.

I am still mostly in the "I hope Mills doesn't get hurt" club. While I am glad Mills has won some games, I am still pretty sure his OL is very suspect. One thing that happens when things go well is that players think they can do "just a little bit more" and they can continue winning. Often times that means waiting too long to throw the ball and guys get hurt.

RE: Davis Mills - OutsiderFan - 12-27-2021

Mills is already better than Garoppolo. He might not have been at the start of the season, but after the PT he's had, I don't think the issue is up for debate, especially given he's a rookie. 

This isn't revisionist history... my plan for the Niners were I calling the shots would have been drafting Rashawn Slater with #12 pick and Mills in 2nd or 3rd round. Slater made the Pro Bowl as a rookie LT. He could have played RT or RG for Niners and made the OL better. Garoppolo still would have started, but would have a better OL, and Mills would be the heir apparent, with more draft picks.  

Lance could still turn out to be terrific, and make trading all the picks to get him look like the right move, but I don't believe in trading a bunch of picks to get unproven players, and had a lot of belief in Mills.

I wouldn't have picked Mills ahead of Trevor Lawrence, but I wouldn't have taken Lawrence and would have taken Mills in 2nd or 3rd round. Lawrence had too many red flags for me to trust taking him. But you guys know how high I have been on Mills since he signed with Stanford.

RE: Davis Mills - Phogge - 12-27-2021

I thought they should have kept the pick and taken a top corner. They ignored Verrett’s history and it is burning them. Shanahan’s system doesn’t rely on a QB who can run. In the Cardinal game Lance acted like he was still at NDS and took off too early and too often. Mills would have been more attuned to Shanahan’s system. Good call OF.

RE: Davis Mills - winflop - 12-27-2021

I expect to be thankful for many years that the Niners drafted Lance and let my Bearssss draft Fields

RE: Davis Mills - Austroturf - 12-27-2021

I saw the Chargers-Texans game and was really impressed with Mills' maturity, skill, arm-strength and decision-making.  Burkhead was also impressive for the Texans.  At the end of the game, there was a shot of Mills and Sarell talking on the field.  First, it's great to see the progress Mills has been making in the NFL; and, second, I sure hope Sarell finds his footing and blossoms as a professional.  But I was also left with the thought that those two were five-star recruits and top members of our vaunted 2017 recruiting class (ranked #14), yet neither player had nearly the expected impact on the Cardinal football program.  

Mills is arguably the most talented QB Stanford has had since Luck, yet his tenure was a blip on the radar.  And Sarell (together with Little) never became the anchor of a multi-year dominant O-Line.  As we all celebrate the 2022 recruiting class (now ranked #16 in the nation), the 2017 recruiting class provides a cautionary tale of rankings vs. on-the-field results.  From that 2017 recruiting class, the players with the greatest overall impact were Parkinson (4 star), Adebo (4 star) and Dalman (3 star).   The three 5 star recruits either faded (Little), never really panned out (Sarell) or played too few games (Mills).  Wedington also never really lived up to his billing.  This may be the new normal with the transfer portal and early exits to the NFL. But I am convinced coaching and player development also play a crucial role, and I hope the staff does better with the talent they get in 2022.

RE: Davis Mills - Phogge - 12-27-2021

Wedington is on the Niners taxi squad but there are a bunch of guys ahead of him including Cracraft of Wazzu who is a tiger on spec teams.

Hope Mills kicksass. Last Niner team I rooted for was Jeff Garcia's.
Jed York needs a daily, Three-Stooges pie in his face.

Well, glad that's settled.

Garoppolo rankings: QBR, 11th; rating, 8th; y/a, 2nd.
Mills rankings: QBR, 30th; rating, 24th, y/a, 25th

Mills had a good game against the second worst defense in the NFL. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. . . .

And he should have a field day against the secondary of the Niners.

So you believe Jimmy Garoppolo will be regarded as a better QB than Davis Mills when both of their career are over?

I thought you were stating that Mills is better right now. At this point, I think there is plenty of room for debate who's better. 

As for after their careers, who knows? I would have thought Andrew Luck would have been a shoe in for the HOF after his career was over. . . .

Mills injury history dragged him down the draft charts.  Had he been healthy at Stanford and had a full college career, he would have been a very high pick.  

I’m glad the Broncos didn’t share your “philosophy “. That Elway deal turned out alright…..

Not sure what those Lawrence “red flags are”. But there is nothing surprising about his struggles. He’s on an awful team and was saddled with an awful coach. Not much of a chance.  Peyton Manning threw 28 ints his first year.  My guess is Lawrence will turn Jacksonville around, once he gets some talent around him. He was the highest graded QB out of College since Luck.  So I guess you saw red flags others didn’t.

If I were one of the 49er Faithful right now, I would have about as much faith in ks and jl as I have in shawmuir.
