Is Von Miller toast?


Einstein

Recommended Posts

He is 3 weeks post comeback and there is very little bend to his rush, much slower get-off (you can tell he is trying to jump the snap to get the edge), and I have yet to see him win a single match-up.

 

He simply looks bad.

 

Last time he came back from an ICL injury he was younger, but he had 9 tackles, 2 sacks and 2 TFL in his first 3 games back.

 

Do we feel Von is toast? His dead cap is $32.5M so he is not going anywhere.

I think he still has to work his way into shape.  When Tre came back he took his time and it still wasn’t pretty.  A few weeks ago I’d say “Von will be back to himself when it matters”.  But now my concern is it matters right now or we don’t even make the playoffs

He's young, almost only 35.  He'll come around eventually.

Do we have snap counts yet? I honestly can't recall a single play with Von Miller on the field. 

 

I at least noticed him the previous 2 weeks even though he didn't really do anything. 

 

I get that it takes a while to come back from an ACL injury at his age, but he's been a complete non-factor. There's no reason he should be on the active roster if he's going to be this limited in games.

Some never come back from it.

 

At 35, which he'll be in a few months, it's an uphill battle.  Even if he does, perfectly, which is highly unlikely, he'll be a shell of his former self due to aging out.

He's toast. At his age, even completely healthy he would be challenged learning to adjust his game to deal with the inevitable loss of a step. He's just too old to come back from an ACL. That was pretty much the one thing that couldn't happen with that contract. Cursed
