Lamar Miller wants to stay!

Lock him up! We can't let talented guys like him leave. And let's bring someone in who will actually utilize his skill sets and give him the touches to make an impact on the game!

Miller leads the league in yards after contact. He's averaging 5.1 YPC. He's become good catching passes out of the backfield. He's become a good blocker. He's only 24 and still has a ton of tread on his tires since he's been criminally underutilized. He's the best player we have on offense and a guy we can build a really good offense around going forward.

Sign. This. Man!

he is stupidier than i thought. i'd want out of this **** hole place that doesn't even use him.

Took the words out of my mouth brotha... Definitely have to lock him up, he's our best offensive player IMO. And like you said, if we get a coach in here who knows how to get the most out of his players - Miller is going to be a monster

Lmao

I question his sanity, but hell yes for the right price...

Have to re-sign him and find a coach and OC that will utilize his talents.

I'm guessing that Lamar sees the talent on this team, and where it can go. Given the right people are put in charge to head things in the right direction, I'm glad he wants to stay. Although, maybe I'm biased because he played for the :theu: . :wink2:

of course he wants to stay. he is living easy. the only one they play less is matt moore.

His metrics last season were insane too. I did a post about it in Sick's thread (I think it was titled, "Is Lamar Miller the key to our season?") from before the season. Th cliff note version is, more rushes that went for 4 yards than any other back. More rushes that went for 5+ yards than any other back. 70+% conversion on 3rd and 3. 70% conversion on 3rd and 1. He's not a "bell cow" back in the mold of AP, Gurley, Beast Mode, etc... But he's unbelievably efficient. I fully expect him to be a Dallas Cowboy next season.

He wants to stay home.

He's so good, and there are still some people who think he's "just another guy".

I'd be shocked if we didn't re-sign him. And very, very pissed.

I don't know why this would even be a question for the front office unless he's demanding to be paid like Peterson or something like that. We should already be talking about a long term deal, it should be an offseason priority.

Yeah, they need to start rewarding the guys we draft and show growth with second contracts. It would have been nice if they gave one to Odrick, but...

Thank God, we needed some good news considering we basically started the 2016 season 3 days ago. Great pick by Ireland.

I don't really read where he said he wanted to stay. He said it would be great. he also said number of carries will play in to his decision whether to re-sign with the Dolphins or play elsewhere next year.

Whose job is it to tell the head coach the guy is ready to play??? Seems like Campbell should have asked him.

Regardless I still don't see why Williams is the number 2 guy. He scares me.

Glad to see people finally coming around on Miller. I've been a fan since season one.

He basically said he would love to finish his career in Miami. He then went on about the multitude of factors that will inevitably play into his decision, but just the fact he claims he wants to stay put is a little encouraging to me at least. Especially after neglecting him in the second half after having the first half he had on Monday, tools.

Either way the Dolphins should be working something out with him now. If they don't see him worthy (don't see his talent) we (all the fans) are in serious trouble.

Agree, Ajayi and Miller are strengths of this team, don't want to mess with that. Same reason I want to see Shelby/OV signed as well.

We're 5-0 in games where Miller gets 13+ carries, and without a single win when he gets 12 or less. And folks may be getting sick of me saying that, but I'll keep on preaching it until we put a saddle on this stud horse and ride him into the post-season. He is the best player on our offense by a wide margin and he has been for years now....just get him the damn ball!

I'd let Vernon go if he wants starters money.

Miller is quite possibly the best offensive player we have, so yeah, sign him.

He needs to be resigned.
