I'd love to keep Miller (again if he is healthy and shows out) and trade Barber, but that's probably not gonna happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't want to be here and he's being disingenuous saying he does ! TBH, I think I might be okay if we just trade him now for a 2nd rounder in 2022. Instead of watching him walk and then only getting a 'possible' 3rd in 2023. I realize we're gunning for the division and that gives me pause in that analysis (and why I'm probably on the fence about trading him). But I am open to being persuaded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sure is good at getting that ONE critical yard/ first down though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we get rid of a cheap player who is incredibly successful at getting us short yardage first downs? Do you not like first downs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get cheaper than that . I like Barber but he's a one trick pony. Maybe Miller can do the same thing . Pre-season will shake it all out .

He was asked to do one job and did it. If you want to build culture you don't replace a successful player with just another guy and that is what miller is.

I don't trust Gibson and his turf toe. Wwe need a running back back up and I'll take him over Barber . Just opinions. That's why we're here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to research who he is and how he got here. I didn't remember the name . He did have one good season at Indy ! I wonder what happened to his career with them.

If you want to build culture you don't replace a successful player with just another guy and that is what miller is. I wanted to address these: Quote Neither of them is special but one already has shown success here. At the same time, one had multiple 1,000 yard seasons and one hasn't. Barber's best season as a pro would've been Miller's 6th ranked season (he only had 2 worse than that - 3 if you count 2020 when he didn't play). Quote He was asked to do one job and did it. Do we have the luxury of a one trick pony right now? If...and that is a big IF...Miller can return to form (or 80% of it), I think he's more valuable than Barber. But the elephant in the room is that ACL. And that gives me BIG pause. I get what you're saying and part of me agrees with you. This is why I'm on the fence right now with both of them.

I don't remember him ever failing to get the BIG yard when asked to do it . ! It's not as easy as one might think . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
