For the record, I think Miller is probably the best return guy in EEPL. Or at least is the return guy for the best return team in the league.
But xeef, 104 of the punt return TDs last season were against gutted teams, and should not count. Trophies that account for plays against gutted teams are not the best way to gauge who is a better player, since a good player (like Miller) can have a season's worth of stats in one game against gut jobs. You played 3 last season, where Miller averaged over 30 TDs per game. Not the best way to tell who the best return guy is in the league. I was waiting for this one. I agree with your premise that its not the best way, but the best ways lead you to the same conclusion as well, and I want to address this line of thought.
I would buy this logic if 1) anyone else could have equaled his production in those games and 2) jackie didnt have the same situation whith less than half the results.
He played the same schedule everyone else did. I didnt see ANYONE else in the game get 44 TDs in 46 returns or even 31 out of 33 against ANY opponent. I dare say your average great returner will fall on his own 2 out of 46 times.
And how many TDs did the opposition average in those 3 seasons you mention? 12. or a third of millers productivity. take guts out of both, he still has twice as many TDs. Look at production vs the best teams, its not even close.
Even when he gets shut down, say vs the pests, hes averaging nearly 20 a PR.
And I fully expect a MAMMOTH drop off this season, like I said, the original premise of the thread is jut not going to happen.
However, hes out performing everyone in the preseason, scoring in each so far. No guts there either. Some nasty talent in the conquerers too... and im not saying that simply cause they are our next opponent either.
) or trash talker, but I really don't see why this is even up for debate.
