Anthony Miller Szn?

Maddog78 · Nov 11, 2021

Anyone else excited about this guy's prospects? He languished in Chicago with Trubisky and Foles, and this year in Houston with Davis Mills, still has more catches, yards, TDs than Washington. Hopefully he can show enough to re-sign and save them a draft pick next year for a bigger need.

That doesn't bring me much comfort. I'm thinking more about the future.

i know, that's what i was getting at there as you mentioned him with those other qb's.

I just hope Tomlin dresses him for this Lions game and gives him some opportunities to make some plays. I’d much rather see him out there over guys like Rey Rey or Cody White.

Two things I want to see with Anthony Miller before going gaga. First he gets a hat on Sunday. Second, he is ready for the challenges that being in the stadium brings.

I'd like James Washington to get a chance and more than 2 targets a game. He's been here a long time and deserves it.
