Jack Miller ESPN Column - Left for Health Reasons
First time Board posting...so bear with me. But I went through the Bleacher Report column and it seems that the ESPN column is stating that the reason of Miller's departure is more so for future health and risks of concussions.
This is a different side as I understand it, just curious how the stories appear to be seen in a different light. Mods please delete if this is redundant.

OP clearly mentions that post and how it didn't contain the concussion aspect like the ESPN one does.
don't be such a heel.
to be fair to the OP, Miller's column on Bleacher Report never mentioned concussions
No matter how many times we post it or what the post says! He wanted to "MOVE ON"
Yeah I read the Bleacher Report and it just appears more like a different angle, and has specific quotes about health concerns from Jack himself in the ESPN article. Is this just ESPN taking the concussion angle more strongly or contradicting reasons? Nothing earth shattering just thought provoking!
Either way his decision doesn't change and I have the utmost respect for that regardless of reason.

That seems short-sighted. Stoking controversies about football being too dangerous could potentially cost them viewers of the actual games. I would think they have a vested interested in protecting the brand, be it CFB or the NFL.
As a member of the media, let me say that being "short-sighted" is what we do best.
Could be ESPN looking for "clicks". Sounds like health concerns may have factored into his decision, but everything we've heard/read up to this point makes it seem like that was not THE reason he chose to leave - as ESPN has chosen to publicize it.
Not that I have a lot of love for ESPN but that would be a first.
You may be right. ESPN is certainly beyond such shenanigans.
I have no love for either media outlet...
but I'm saying the article written by Jack himself is, in this case, a better source.
Agree with a lot of the above, looks like ESPN is reaching with this one. He says his flame burned out and that's clearly the reason he quit, but the concussion thing was a thought somewhere in there.
He probably should have left that alone though, because now every media member that wants to paint football as a destroyer of souls is going to come calling. Glamour names and glamour institutions breed eyeballs and clicks.
In view of the recent actions of several NFL players cutting promsing careers short in prime playing years, I would think that fear of CTE would be a valid factor in Miller's decision.
...talk about players who play for Michigan!
In the video on ESPN Joe "Chad" Schad said Miller was their best lineman. . . so yea
Hello everybody! Very interesting article. I myself was able to get rid of my illness just a month ago with the help of such pills. By the way, this drug http://www.tadalafilfromindia.net/ helped me. I don't regret it, try it.
