That probably cuts down on interceptions overall, but it also results in the defense making up ground and breaking up the pass. The pass he threw that was intercepted (negated by holding) was quite late. If it were thrown three of four receiver steps earlier, it would have been complete. The receiver was open forever, but the throw was late. It was also towards the middle of the field and hung up a bit. Mills obviously didn't see the safety coming over, but if he threw on time and/or toward the sideline, it wouldn't have mattered. Many have admired his great passing skills, but that pass was not one of them. He needs to speed up his processing and decision making.
Mostly I agree! Not sure if he is that slow, but more experience should help. The big thing remains his knee health.
