I am of two mindsets on Miller.

1)  I like his measurables and his back story.

2)  I am mindful that between the college portal and general college scouting, if he had a natural talent, he would have been playing for a big program sooner than he did.  Admittedly, there is some uncertainty here, but you would think his backstory would have included turning down scholarship offers at some point.

Quote from: BluesCruz on May 21, 2024, 06:22:55 AMI just had a look at the top 20 RBs on PFF.  The Gold Jacket Guy was not on the list.
PFF.com

I believe he did make the list of top 5 dropped outlet pass receivers LOL.  The most likely to not break initial contact also. 

Let it go man.  He was great.......at Penn State.

I hope the Eagles have him in there all day long.  Will make our job so much easier.
I do have to admit this was a very un-Eagle like move.    What were they thinking?

Me let it go?  Done.  I wish the guy nothing but the best- he deserves it, for sure.  But you mention him in almost every RB post you make.  So....  maybe it's time to let it go?  Also- your track record of opinions here makes it supremely likely you're wrong about Barkley, so I feel good about being on the other side of you on it.  Feels right.   :ok:

I root for three teams every week.  The Giants and whoever is playing Dallas and Philly.

I like them

Somehow they still look modern and yet harken back to the 20's and 30's

Quote from: PSUBeirut on May 20, 2024, 06:54:01 PMYeah with that top 5 RB out of the way, finally we can see what those guys on the bench look like.   =))

I am rooting hard for this kid for lots of reasons- one being he's local to me here in NC and played HS ball in a district I taught in briefly. 

I just had a look at the top 20 RBs on PFF.  The Gold Jacket Guy was not on the list.

I voted for not caring either way. It's done.

I do think he's going to have a very good year.

I hope he gets stuffed at the line of scrimmage for the rest of his touches by the hand of God career.

I take your point, but we ought not to attribute to Barkley "the hand of God" and "Gold Jacket" bloviations which were strictly those of one Dave Gettleman. As for Barkley's, "Once a Giant... I think he hoped it would be so. It just wasn't a hope shared by Schoen/Daboll Co. In any case, he's an Eagle now, no more, no less,
