Here you go again with this nonsense. Teams win games. Texans cannot make the playoffs in the stacked AFC with Jimmy G. Texans couldn't make the playoffs two years ago with Deshaun Watson, who - and I hope you won't argue this - a million times better than Jimmy.
Texans have a young QB who was thrust into a terrible situation as a rookie last year and who has exceeded expectations for his draft slot.
It makes ZERO sense for Texans to spend ANY draft picks on a vet Quarterback. They need him like a bull needs t!ts. They're not a playoff contender, they're in a rebuild mode. They need draft picks as they're rebuilding. Not an old, injury prone QB with serious limitation for 26 million and who needs a draft pick to be had.
Market for Jimmy will pick up once/if he's cut.
Agreed. Texans will see what they got in Mills and find another option the following year if needed. Jimmy and his contract don't make sense for any of these teams anymore. Right or Wrong, all the teams that did make sense forJimmy, all chose another option for their QB1. All that is left is to release him. A team will pick him up as a cheaper option to compete with another QB for a starting spot.
