Do you trust Colin Miller to play top 4 minutes NOW?

[CashMash]

I don't want Landy for Carlo.

 

[Ratty]

As he's gained confidence, and more TOI, he has shown marked improvement. Not enough, though, to warrant a slot on the #1 pairing, IMO.

If Carlo is traded (grits teeth), he may have to ride shotgun to Z. Prefer him to McQuaid and K. Miller, but that's not saying much.

I voted yes, but would NOT trade Carlo.

It's sink or swim time. Training wheels need to come off and the team needs to see and know what they have. Carlo has hit a wall, while Killer has gotten stronger as the season has worn on. Give the extra minutes to Killer and lighten Carlo's load for a bit. Would be beneficial for both, IMO.

I've been a huge Chiller supporter since the start but I chose maybe because I'm just not sure if he is ready. However, I agree with you wholeheartedly. It is time to throw him to the wolves and see if he comes out alive.

 

[GoBs]

Yes improving every game. Would also like to see Joe Morrow get in there and play some minutes. Not top 4 minutes but get some time.

 

[C77]

Voted maybe. I'd do it incrementally. First, bump him up to 18 minutes and see how he handles it. From there he can go to 20.

 

[ODAAT]

I think he could play top 4 minutes but man o man, I`d have to allow myself alot of mental wiggle room for mistakes, I like his improvement though

He has been a different player lately. Maybe it was Claude leaving, but it's like we're watching a completely different Colin Miller. I think he can handle #3-4 minutes currently just fine.

prior to his injury, in the 6-7 games, his game was trending.

and it`s continued to do so.

The last 3 games, I find myself watching him play as I expected him to initially turn out. As the season started and time went on before, my expectations fell a little bit from my initial ones. But since Claude has been gone, he seems to have a different level of confidence and is likely playing more of "his game" freely.

On a contender, NOW? No.

On a contender, SOMEDAY? Maybe. Hopefully.

I'm sensing so much of this 'since Claude...' perspective.

Miller has actually had a very solid season, not just three games as easy as it is to turn on Claude as the scapegoat.

I don't think Miller is ready but he is more ready than KMiller or McQuaid...

Chiller has been good all year, under Clode and under Cassidy. The difference is that without Liles suffering a concussion, he never gets that chance with Clode as the HC. With Cassidy, he's going to get as much rope as he can handle.

Just think, if Clode had given Chiller (and Morrow) more responsibility last year, there would be no need for this thread/poll because we would already know what he's capable of.
