Who is/was a better draft pick?
I thought the injury bug would hamper Lamar Miller's draft status and his career.
I'm having the same thoughts about Duke. The injuries and the turnovers at times raise questions for me about his ability to carry an NFL load.
As good as he has been he hasn't been able to turn a loss into a win for us.
Thoughts?

Yes, I thank him for his dedication and loyalty and for putting his body on the line for UM. He has given us some highlights and enjoyment.

duke is a more complete back imo. also cant put a game on one player when the rest of the team is bad

This, and I'm a big Lamar fan.

I hope Duke goes to a zone-blocking system like the Dolphins. He killed it on zone runs here and will do the same at the next level.
 
I don't think Lamar miller has reached his potential yet but Duke johnson is the better overall back imo
 
Duke. Better overall back, especially protecting QB in pocket. Lamar is speed guy-- when nicked up can't do much.
 
I would love to see Duke with an innovative offensive head coach like chip kelly or sean Payton.
 
Lamar has developed significantly the last couple of years with playing time. Put a good team around Duke and he could be one of the greats.
 
Duke, no questions asked. With that said, Lamar just ripped off a 97yd TD run against the Jets.

Lamar was the 2nd best RB prospect his draft class right after Trent Richardson who is a bust now. Lamar just happened to slip down because of a constant nagging shoulder injury from his days at Killian. Lamar was a 1st rounder during that time just the injury concerns hurt his stock.



Lamar hasn't even peaked yet in the nfl. He's going to be a very good one in the league. Some of y'all just don't watch football I swear. Dolphins don't even use him enough.


As for Duke, I think he has it all and that he's going to be better than Lamar. No knock on Lamar at all. If Duke is put into the right offense it's a wrap.

Duke a few years ago could have sneaked into late first round, but RBs value is going down in the draft in recent years. Duke will go in the second round.




Lamar & Duke will continue the tradition of RB U. Now I just hope their successors at the U keep it up. Speaking to you!!! Yearby, Scarlett, Williams and Walton!
