This should temper the LF hype

Miles said that in his weekly press conference this week when a reporter asked him, " who does LF remind you of?"

Context was not given in that article. The way I interpret that is not necessarily that Miles thinks LF has a long way to go, but rather let's not: a.) shite all over the other backs by over complimenting LF, and. b.) set LF up to get over confident.

That's the way I interpreted it from the moment I heard him say that. Not that LF is not as good as the hype.

He will exceed the performance of Adrian Peterson.

“I don’t want to preempt a performance by saying something that, frankly, he’ll probably exceed,” Miles said. “I guess my point is, I’m going to let him define who he is.”

Not suspect, but close.

I think you may have misunderstood Les....

I read that as Miles saying that LF will probably be BETTER than Peterson.

That is how it reads...it's just not what Miles said.

If LF takes one off tackle maybe with a juke or and broken tackle and houses one about 60 yds, then this shite will get absolutely insane, especially with the national media.

We have all seen these can't miss stars who show up and struggle with the pressure. That's just not the case with LF. IF the media frenzy starts after a 100+ opener, the guy is ready and won't be changed.

Les is as vocally optimistic about LF than any other player we have ever had on his watch. That tells me alot. These rb's can take over and handle most games if our qb can do just enough to keep the D honest.

pump the brakes, people. All this stuff is just so silly. He hasn't carried the ball one single time yet in college.

I'm hoping to see great things, but let's just wait until we see what he does on the field before we start comparing him to one of the greatest backs ever.

Put Miles big buddy Trooper on him to make sure.
