Miller < 180 carries. Stay away!
Is he going to get hurt? Lose his job? Are you a Dolphin homer and know something we don't?
Daniel Thomas owner?
Until recently I did not own either because I thought Miller was overrated and overhyped even though I thought the job was his. I traded Miller and D. Moore for Givens and 1.2 shortly after the combine in the dynasty where I owned him. Only in the past week or so did I take a closer look and came away with the impression that Thomas was the better player. So I have acquired Thomas late in 2 redrafts.Just as a previous poster stated, I view Miller as a limited speed back. You want to get him his 10 touches and hope he breaks one. He doesn't have enough game to carry the load. Thomas is JAG, but he is better suited for every down duties and is the better receiver.
I think Miller is going to get his shot and fail. Thomas will be the lead in the end.
watch the youtube link from the previous page of this thread, i was surprised at the patience miller showed while running the ball last year, he is not just a track star.
kind of hard for a highlight video to look bad.
I put a lot more trust in
Lamar Miller vs Ohio St, vs Boston College, vs Maryland, vs Virginia Tech
and compare it to
Daniel Thomas vs Nebraska, vs Iowa St.
Its their college tape, but I think you get a truer sense of what they are when you see every run from the game. Running is instinctive, so I don't think they change much once they get on the pro level.
