Quote:Can't stand the Buckeyes but I really hate that Miller will miss out. As much as I dislike them, you still admire the talent and at the end of the day they are still youngsters and this one has the mis fortune to miss his senior year. Plus side, he is going to graduate and I believe go after a masters.

 

I wish every Buckeyes hater shared that sentiment. You can hate the team all you want, but Braxton Miller is a good guy and, like it or not, a good quarterback.

 

The story I read on ESPN.com makes me think he was cleared to practice way too early. Nobody who has shoulder surgery in February should be practicing in April. I am not sure how limited he was then, but the fact that he was not medically ruled out of all spring and summer practices bothers me.

 

I also wonder why the surgeon waited until February to operate. Miller had to know shortly after the Orange Bowl it5 was a partial labrum tear because the injury was why he chose to  come back for his senior year. Something weird happened at the OSU Medical Center and I don't like it.

 

Now I have two questions:

 

1. How good is the new quarterback?

2. Can the Buckeyes still play like a top five team?
