He just needs more time to bulk up, improve his blocking assignments and route running.
He's already had 2 years on the PS. I think its time to dump the project and find another one. To have that many flaws yet, especially in blocking as a potential #3, is tough for me to give a yes vote for. [Reply]

He was on the PS for part of 2015 and the active roster for 2016.
He's got potential but hasn't reached it yet. There's no harm in giving him another year to develop because until 2015, he hadn't played football in 8 years and he's only 24 years old. [Reply]
Well the Spiller/West conversation seems to have resolved itself.
That said, I'd still like to see a different kind of RB; West and Spiller seem redundant. I liked the way it lined up with Ware/Hunt/West but with Hunt/West/Spiller you just seems to be short a power back and heavy a scat/3rd down back. [Reply]

Yeah the ware injury really sucks. Him and hunt paired up was really exciting to me.
I'm holding out hope that the second opinion shows a better diagnosis and he can get back this year [Reply]
If it were up to me, I'd probably cut Devey and bring Ross Travis on.
I would seriously entertain cutting Miller, too. I'll defer to the Chiefs, as they're in the room with Miller all day every day, but he just looked like complete garbage against the Seahawks 2's.
I don't know who I'd bring on, though, if I wanted to cut Miller. Steven Terrell, DeVante Bausby, and Ashton Lampkin would all be in the conversation for me. [Reply]

My "fringe" roster guys at this point are Seantavius Jones, Jordan Devey, Jah Reid and CJ Spiller.
If the Chiefs can find upgrades for each, I can see them moving on. Also, I think that while Lampkin or Bausby could push for a spot on the 53, the Chiefs would be looking at 8 offensive lineman versus 9.
Miller's coming off an Achilles and while he hasn't looked great so far, I expect his play to continue to ascend over the course of the season. [Reply]
