Almighty,
You don't listen. Nobody can make you listen you're like the kid with his fingers plugging his ears. This is rather simple. Lamar Miller running the ball is better than Mike James running the ball, and we need all the "better" players we can get. If you can't understand that and nearly everybody else can, doesn't that suggest that you have the problem?
errrrr. Trying to appeal to the masses does not make a case as to why Miller is missed. Rather pathetic and expected more of you.
Try again. LOL
Posts like this don't belong on the football board. Flaming and insubstantial name-calling belongs in the WEZ.
I can see that someone might be disappointed in Miller if they try comparing him to Portis, McGahee, or Gore (or a host of other UM greats). But that's not realistic. He broke an eight-year dry spell of 1,000 yard rushers and didn't lose a single game for us. On the contrary- he won games that should have been toss-ups and kept us in games that we shouldn't have had any business being in (the VT games in '10 and '11 come to mind).
Could he have been better? Absolutely. But complaining about Miller's performance last season is like complaining about the size of a welfare check.
