    I know he disappointed DC Nation last year, especially me, but at 9th round ADP and this news, I am in.

    This could turn in to "Miller Time" finally.  Never liked the Moreno signing in MIA anyway and Miler does have talent.

    Yep, and 9th round ADP... I don't wanna hear "I'm staying away" at that value. He can rush for 800 and 2TDs and earn that :) I stand by last year's predictions, that this kid has Frank Gore skills. He just never was let loose. I hope Miami gives him a chance.

    Held on to him all last year and offseason. Got him off waivers the year before. No investment. No Risk High reward.. I'll take it! Things like this is why I never sell low.

    Citing a source who's seen Knowshon Moreno's knee, the National Football Post's Jason Cole reports the issue is "bad."

    The source told Cole that Moreno "probably will play" in 2014, but the "issue is how long." It sounds like a potentially degenerative condition, and something that could shorten Moreno's career. He turns 27 next month. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Moreno will seek a medical opinion next week "to determine if surgery is needed." Moreno may wind up undraft-able in fantasy leagues.

    I added the twitter report, that Moreno's knee is "bad" to the news post. 

    Yep, Miller time might be here, @whos_ur_doggie !

    TBL, you son of a gun.... You were ol' faithful to Lamar. Even to the point of trading me DeMarco, for him. Reap brother reap.

    Well, i'm wondering why it wasn't Miller time in 2013?

    Why did Daniel Thomas steal time?

    Why did the dolphins sign Moreno in the first place?

    Not being smart, just asking legitimate questions.  I don't follow the Dolphins closely.

    Im not one to boast. I rather have seen Miller earn it against a healthy Moreno as I know he could, but hey, I'll take it.

    These are my concerns as well. I know many say that Philbin has been an idiot, which could be true, in regards to using Miller but there is a chance that the Dolphins coaching staff sees something that we don't. It's easy for us to sit on that outside and point the finger without watching them in camp and practice every week. With all of that said, as a Miller owner in a couple of leagues I hope he rises and reaches everyone's expectations of him.

    I never understood it, I was watching a few of the games and Miller would move the chains, in came DThomas, my new nickname for him is the Drive Killer

    Why? Bad coaching.

    Why sign Moreno? Every team roster 2-3 backs ;)

    I think I might need a knee scope now after doing that back flip when I read about this! \m/
    My league is a non PPR 12 person league having a roster of 19 players each. Active roster includes 1Qb 2Rb's 3Wr's 1Te 1K 1Def. Two weeks before draft we cut the roster down to 9 keepers. My team as of now:
    QB Nick Foles, Russell Wilson, Josh McCown
    RB Lamar Miller, Shane Vereen, Zac Stacy, Cierre Wood
    WR AJ Green, Julio Jones, Josh Gordon, Rueben Randle, Kenny Stills
    TE Z Ertz, M. Bennett, Delanie Walker
    DEF Kansas City, Cleveland
    K Steven Hauschka
