This is what happens when you have a year, like this one, to deal with. I, among others, have mentioned how POOR the ENTIRE crop of QB's are this year. From the draft pool to FA's, this is about as bad as I've ever seen it.
Yup…I don’t know that anyone is acting like Mills is a hot prospect…at least for me, I just think he’s one of the better options among a group of pretty crappy options. The reason I say that is that he’s done ok when he’s had to start, so maybe there is some upside there…he can be a hold the fort guy and then a solid backup as needed. I don’t think he changes our fortunes this year all that much, and sure, Geno came at a much cheaper cost in terms of draft capital…so personally I’m fine with it. I don’t think much of Geno really, but I didn’t like most of the options out there anyway. I would have been fine dealing a 3rd rounder for Mills because I think he can serve as a bridge starter and then a solid backup…but when I heard the asking price was a 2nd rounder, I agree with Mougey not doing that.
