5 NFL teams that should bench their quarterbacks

1. Houston Texans

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills got thrown into a situation that he wasn’t ready for. Tyrod Taylor went down with a hamstring injury in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns and was placed on injured reserve.

Mills is coming off of an atrocious performance in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills blanked the Texans, 40-0, and Davis completed 11-of-21 passes for 87 yards and four interceptions. Houston totaled eight yards on offense in the first half.

It’s painfully clear that Davis isn’t meant to be an NFL starter at this point in his career. He’s had a couple of games to adjust to performing at a high-level, but he’s still coming up severely short.

Taylor is expected to return within a couple of weeks and the Texans are in desperate need of him. Davis still needs time to develop as a potential QB1 option and being promoted to starter hasn’t served him well. Mills will go up against fellow rookie Mac Jones and the New England Patriots in Week 5, so let’s hope that he’s able to at least halfway keep up with Jones.
