Thank you for making your first post (and topic) a useful one. I'm sure it reflects the quality of all your future posts.

And sorry we're so hard on people here at the huddle. We aren't very friendly this season. :(

But to respond, there's no way you voluntarily let go of Williams, unless you want to see him become a hall of fame player somewhere else.

depending on how next season goes, I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to walk away. 2nd highest yard per carry average and he still isn't getting the amount of carries he deserves. It makes me sick knowing Chris Johnson gets 25'ish +/- a few carries a game, and we're lucky if Fox gives Williams/Stewart 25 carries COMBINED. He has the potential to go for 2k yards if given a f**kin chance..

I'm not saying stop splitting carries, I'm saying we should be calling 35+ runs a game, if not more.

With that said, I would be devastated if Williams walked :[

depends on who the management is after the season..i know shanahan wouldn't give a crap about trying to keep him..all RBs are expendable.

Maybe his exit from Denver helped him see the error of his ways. Last year the lack of a rushing attack really hurt them toward the end of the season. They used to rely on the blocking scheme but could have benefited from a workhouse like they had with Terrell Davis back in 1998-99. Which is what Williams is to us. A workhorse with breakaway speed.

After looking at this article, I was reminded of how many 1000 yard rushers Denver has produced since Shanahan went there in 1995.

Still I can't see us going after Shanahan. Although we tried before to hire the super bowl coach and hopefully learned from the failure.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
