What are your takes on him?
Of course not at all a HOVG-er. But better than not-bad! And if not for injuries, very possibly even-better more! Yes, that Glanville-led 1991 situation in Atlanta could possibly be the only anomaly scenario in which Chris (along with...Billy Joe Tolliver) could hold off an obviously "not-ready-just-YET" fratboy-esque rookie, Brett Favre, from a starting spot! But Miller did make the Pro Bowl in that very "Too Legit" 'island' playoff year in which they sweep the Forty Niners en route to beating the Saints on the road Sunday Night, Wk#13, and then eliminate them - again on the road - in the 1st-Rd (getting blasted in DC the following week - and in the rain - no serious felony at all).
I think of '88...Chris leading his 1-7 Falcons to victory over the 4-4 Eagles at the Vet! It'd be the last time the NFC East-champs-to-be would be dropped beneath-500 before rallying the rest of the way into the Chicago "Fog"! And then, seven years later, he now being under center with Rams in their inaugural St. Louis campaign...they start 5-1 and he being apart of it and feeling really good! But reality would rear its ugly head, and even before the notorious Kinchen - and then Eric Davis's - assault of a padded Candlestick goal post weeks later. Concussions would take over and that, simply, would be it for Chris. A FWIW 2-1 record as a starter he had in his 'comeback' with two-time-defending-post-Elway-Champs, Broncos, in '99.
Thoughts?
Chris Miller not bad at ALL, end-of-day!
