Cyler Miles is a top 10 QB... huh?

    And without the weapons to do it, and a horrible running game

    I see a little 50/50 here. No Miley in spring ball, a very limited skill set and a rookie OC. Not a winning combination. Miles still can't make more than one read, and gets skittish in the pocket very quickly. I will be surprised if he is the starter next year.

    I don't know wtf is up with him simply dropping the ball, but I've said before I don't think he's as bad as some on here believe.

    I think he has a long throwing motion which leads to problems. He has to make reads and decisions sooner and hopefully will get better at it if he's the starter next year.

    Miles is an average QB right now, but a lot of you who bash him used Price's efficiency as evidence of how good he was.

    And you used Oregon State as an example of his potential

    UCLA, Oregon State, and BYU were a decent sample size to see Miles could play a little. He's not a great QB and probably never will be, but he's nowhere near as bad as some on this board thought he was. It's his first year as a starter, in a new system, with no Spring ball, and sharing reps in fall camp. Some of that has to factor into analyzing him. Petersen has been experimenting all year and made Miles go outside his comfort zone.

    There has been a battle of what Miles does well vs what Petersen wants his QB's to do. Miles wants to run and Petersen wants him to hang in there and find receivers downfield. Some of that, or at least I hope, may have played a part in how hesitant Miles has looked most the season. I'm starting to think it was a good choice and will pay off in the long run.
