Today, I agree that Lance looked exceptionally promising, but it was just one game. Not ready to guess whether he'll have a better career than any of the other rookie QBs.
Mills continues to show that he can make really nice, accurate throws when he has time. Can he consistently (over 4 quarters) make the right decisions? One pass in the first half really should have been a pick six for the 49ers.
I do think Mills has probably shown enough to get a shot to really compete for a starting job in the NFL, be it at Houston or elsewhere.
There is nothing mediocre about Lawrence. He was the highest rated QB coming into the draft since Luck. Who was the highest since Elway.
No comparison to Darnold. First year QBs struggle almost universally. Particularly when they are on horrid teams.

His response was whoever got drafted by the 49ers. The reason being, obviously, that he would have the best supporting cast surrounding him by a long shot.
As it is the best has been Mac Jones. For the same reason.
Seriously Lex? Mac Jones has the best supporting cast by a long shot? I can't think of a single player they have, besides Jones. Same BS argument about the guy as last year: it's all about the players around him. Perhaps he makes the players around him better. Ask Cam. Cam Newton couldn't do very well with the same guys last year.
Newton stinks. I’m not knocking Jones. He’s played well. NE is significantly better, however, than Jacksonville, Jets, Texans and Bears.
