Texans head coach Lovie Smith is not ready to bench second-year quarterback Davis Mills just yet.
It's nine games into the season and the Texans are 1-7-1 with one of the least efficient offenses in football. According to Pro Football Reference, Mills ranks third in poor throws, eighth in poor throw percentage and 28th in on-target percentage.
As Texans insider Brooks Kubena points out in the Houston Chronicle, Mills is completing fewer of his passes (62.3 percent) than last season (66.8), generating less yardage (6.7 yards per attempt) than in 2021 (6.8), and fielding a worse passer rating as a second-year veteran (81.67) than he did as a rookie (88.8) through nine games.
But when asked about possibly benching Mills and going with either backups Kyle Allen or Jeff Driskel, the head coach said it isn't time.
Is it, though?
