He caught some short passes other than that equal to or less than equal to Norris.

Enough seen? I did. He did more in that game than Norris in the whole career with the Niners.

Certainly gave MUCH more of a passing threat than Norris. However, you can see his inexperience as a runner.. (the fumble).

I'm not sure about that, Norris if nothing else was a great blocker for Gore for a few seasons. That said, Gore hasn't been effective with or without Norris this season, and at least Miller added a little bit of a receiving threat so I'm all for seeing what he can do for the rest of the season and freeing up Norris' roster spot for something a bit more valuable to the team.

Yeah right. Hated on him in this situation but that's normal during the game. Furthermore, he is a linebacker, iirc. Or did he play FB or sth like that in College?

He played TE, and LB early I believe, then moved to DE in college.

Miller + Hunter = New Backfield................

It was so nice not seeing a one-trick pony back there. He's got some areas which need improvement, but it's still a welcome relief.

I'll live we that one mistake, as long as he stays as the starting FB. He has shown he can catch the ball, which already puts him way ahead of where Norris has been. Imagine he good he will be once he gets more experienced.......

He actually has some pass catching ability which is a pleasant surprise coming from a FB
