Davis Mills..thoughts ?

[Vanguard83]

What are people's thoughts on Davis Mills?
Wouldn't take much IMO. 27, strong build, five years in the league, 63% completion percentage.

All perspective appreciated, but I'd like this option over most others, given what it would take for Mac Jones, or trotting Kyler out there

What would it take?

I think he'd be a heck of a QB2, but a very low-end, bottom feeding QB1. Reading the Jets may be interested in trading for him. It might take a smidge more than you think as Houston likes him a bunch as the backup to Stroud.

I'm fine with Mills because I think we still need to give JJM a real shot to be our franchise QB. If he shits the bed then Mills would be an adequate backup - certainly better than Brosmer. But the key question is: what do we have to give up to get him?

No...

We gotta set the bar higher for that QB room.

The Vikings need to give JJM a chance in April through TC. But they also need to hedge their bets. McCarthy just isnt a starting NFL QB yet.

Not until he proves he is.

I'm with you. I think our aim should be a bit higher than Davis Mills. I love the quote from The Martian. "In the face of overwhelming odds, I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this."  And so are the Vikings.

Appreciate the opinions.

I'm not so much against JJM's skillset (even with the over the middle passing) What I'm MOST worried about is his AVAILABILITY.
Not sure the guy can take a repeated shots & get back up.
