Fox in the market for a complementary back


Mr. Scot

From the Denver Post, quoted in Rotoworld:

"You need more than one guy to make a full commitment to running the ball," Fox said. "We'll be in the process of finding more than one guy."

That'll fuel a boatload of speculation about DeAngelo Williams, though I'm not sure how justified it will be.

On a related note, to probably no one's surprise, Fox has named Kyle Orton the Broncos starting QB for next season.

"I think, way back even in '03 (with the Carolina Panthers), we made a commitment to running the ball. I think you need more than one back if you're going to consistently run it through the season," Fox explained. "And just from the standpoint that guy is going to take a lot of shots."

Definitely sounds like he wants a "Double Trouble" type setup in Denver (and there's some logic to that).

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
