Just Jack Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Imagine the outrage if we had social media back in the 60's when players had other jobs during the offseason... "You won't believe who was doing oil changes at the corner gas station today!!!!" "Guess who was bagging my groceries at the local supermarket!!!!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article just says he’s having trouble getting other GM’s and front offices aside from the Bills to talk to him because he’s under contract as a player. Try again. You’re making some silly assumptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Darryl Talley worked at McDonalds during the off season to learn how to become a franchisee. I don't remember anyone soiling themselves on the internet about that. Oh wait. Al Gore handn't invented the internet until after that. Never mind. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeDrip Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I think this is awesome. Dude obviously lives and breathes football. He is rehabbing injury and it’s the off-season - what is he supposed to be doing to get ready for next season right now? Additionally, Von has been in the league a long time. He knows lots of people outside of the Bills - no harm in him picking their brains as well as Beane’s, which he’s reported to have already been doing.

And make the first steps to making this happen.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/02/with-goal-of-someday-becoming-a-g-m-von-miller-visits-scouting-combine/ I mean is he supposed to stay at home and learn more techniques how to sack a QB? He's a future hall of famer and who hasn't thought of life after their job a few years before you retire? I see nothing wrong with this imo.

Nephilim17 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 If he were missing team activities and training to do this, it would be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I did read the article. I didn't see anywhere that it stated Miller asked to work with the Bills but they declined or that the Bills asked Miller to work with them and he declined. Going on his own certainly is a better way to network with more people from different perspectives and "Coaching trees" Yes Florio thinks it's odd, can't say I disagree or agree wit him, it's just his take and wrote a column about it. He was drafted by Elway at Denver, for all we know, Elway may have told him at one time that this exactly what he had done years back maybe while still playing. Social media has changed the world in that everyone knows what everyone else is doing all the time if you're somewhat famous. 30 years ago, Elway could have done the same and no one would have even noticed. Or at least not maybe the 5 people covering the combine back then. He also has the status that allows him to do this whereas many who may want to can't. As Florio pointed out, it does sound a bit like Miller want's to follow the Elway route and become a GM without working his way up the latter, doing something like this, would help him there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why this would bother anyone, it is not like its going to set his rehab back or anything. It is the offseason, nothing wrong with him looking down the road and taking opportunities to further his aspirations post career. In fact, I thought this was pretty cool and good for him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I was military. You start planning for the next career 5 to 10 years out. Von planning for post-football just 2 years out is not alarming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 4 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: Gives Brandon an excellent opportunity to talk to him about restructuring his contract Von, I cannot talk to you about YOUR contract but I can talk to you about GM work in general. How would you handle a very high priced free agent who was brought on the team to lead us on defense in playoffs but could not stay healthy enough to make the playoffs? Then due to cap crunch due to that contract I needed to use practice squad call ups until those players were ineligible and then I needed to sign previous players who were let go to finish the season since that was all we could afford? All the while this new high priced free agent was trying to bring in players we could not afford without offering a cent reduction on his contract? Then he go stirs up the water, water which is very muddy and perfect for mud fights, pretending to be a GM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
