Portis came out 10 years ago, that's not recent. In recent times no one has come out of Miami My mistake on him being a 3rd rd pic(still better than 4th though) A highly regarded guy wouldn't have been taken in the 4th rd. That dosn't mean he can't be great or he won't be but to say he's so highly regarded isn't being truthful. He barely has any carries, when guys have lesser carries one long run can skew YPC. For example, Shonn Green averaged 5 YPC as a rookie on 108 carries, his last 2 seasons w/ over 200 carries a season he has averaged 4 YPC. Miller had 51 carries and averaged 4.9. if he averages that w/ 150-200 then I'll start to buy it. I'm not saying Miller won't be good but let's not petend he isn't a question mark. remember Daniel Thomas was the flavor of the month before him and he's done nothing.
I'm sure you can find legitimate reasons why he dropped to the 4th round and see where he was projected and why a rookie wasn't prioritized 150-200 carries over reggie bush. No one said he will be better gore here he was just saying coming out of college he looked better that's it only an opinion. It could be a minority opinion but you already know what it's like to have one right?
Gore had a million injuries too, that's why he dropped to the THIRD rd- still ahead of the 4th. Again, I'm not saying he won't succeed but it's not truthful to come on here and act like he was some incredible prospect who is guaranteed success.
Lamar Miller's shoulder injury in his last year at UM, is a big reason why he fell in the draft. Otherwise he was a second round guy in most mocks. Just FYI.
thank you for your contribution, in the time you took to post that you could have added something productive to the discussion.
you morphed the convo into something that doesnt belong in a Jet forum.Pretty fuckin simple concept. And Im one of the few guys here who doesnt think youre a total douchebag so why pick a fight with me?
Keller is a complete idiot. Who the fuck is his agent? What a retard.... I had to post something about this becaused I just read that the guy took a 1yr 4mill contract over the two multi year deals the Phins and Jets offered him. This guy must honestly think he is the next TGonz at TE. What a dumb move. Oh well, he went to our division rival so fuck em'.
The guy's no Tony Gonzales, but still a decent player...... letting him walk to Miami for a 1 year deal? wtf.......
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/sto...-new-york-jets-tight-end-signs-miami-dolphins "I'm with the team I want to be with," Keller told the South Florida media. "Everything is perfect right now." And............Dustin can DIAF now.
He's the next Johnny Mitchell, good bye you underachieving, pass drop, false-starting bozo...:breakdance:
He also stated he picked the fins over us because they have a "shot"at winning now and he is excited... hope he is excited.... because he will need the enthusiasm when he figures out he is a average player... psh... what loyalty we have here he gets more money here and a new QB next year,a revamped team and if he isn't down for it then fine so be it bye! But really!? Our rival ... nice job you bum
He is a Dolphin! :lol: That is hilarious. Any player who wants to be in orange and teal definitely does not belong on this team. Good riddance.
You guys should know damn well that being the offseason champion doesn't mean anything. We went through it in 2007, you went through it in 2010, Dolphins fans will go through it this year.
I see real potential in Cumberland just needs work and a bit more speed...... and to turn around to catch the ball in time on check Downs even if Sanchez throws at the ground
Cumberland is a much better over the shoulder catcher than Keller. Keller always has to face the ball, cumberland turns his head in stride and grabs the ball as it comes over.
