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.
Processing and decision making improve with playing time. This was his first start of the year in which he actually could practice. He needs reps. Then i think we will see improvement in those areas. Unfortunately it looks like the season is over as the Czar has spoken.
