Texans fans should appreciate Davis Mills: 4 reasons

Even though the Texans were deploying a quirky offense with Mills and backup quarterback Jeff Driskel alternating series and sometimes even plays in the final five games of the season, Mills used Driskel as someone he could collaborate with.

“There’s a lot of back-and-forth on the sideline, making sure we were seeing things the same, kind of bouncing ideas off each other,” Mills said on Dec. 14, 2022. “Obviously, our play calls weren’t the exact same, so we’re not seeing the exact looks. From the mind of the quarterback, a lot of times you can only relate to what other quarterbacks are thinking. When you have somebody to talk to who’s also getting live reps, live bullets flying at them in the game, it helps.”

The Texans won’t return to the two-quarterback system ever with Stroud, but he may have a mind on the sidelines he can work with in Mills.
