DeAngelo Williams, running back

Ideal Fit: Denver Broncos

John Fox wants to build the offense around a strong running game with a workhorse carrying the load. Since Knowshon Moreno hasn't shown that ability in the past, Fox will cast his eyes toward Williams as his potential feature back. The former Pro Bowler has averaged 5.0 yards per carry throughout his career, and posted two 1,000-yard seasons despite sharing the workload in Carolina. With the bulk of the carries heading in his direction, Williams could lead the Broncos back into contention in the AFC West.

Bad Fit: Carolina Panthers

Williams has already spent most of his career sharing the load in Carolina, and he would rejoin a backfield with two talented runners -- Jonathan Stewart and Mike Goodson -- in place. This can't be an appealing option for a runner looking to establish himself as one of the top backs in the game.

I agree from his standpoint he should try to establish himself with another team as I feel the younger Stewart is ready to assume the starting role finally. I still hate to see him go.

Dwill would end up in the same situation in Denver as he would here. I doubt they are just going to say "hey Knowshon I know we invested a first rounder on you, but you are bad so we are going to give all of your reps to Deangelo." He would just become their Jstew knowing Fox.

They've said basically that.

I don't agree with this article.

Will we be affected by his leave? Not in the least. Should there have been some type of compensation, aside from compensatory picks? Yes, he should have been traded last year. For something like a 1st or a 2nd round pick.

I agree with you even though I have a good feeling he will still be a panther which is why he wasn't traded and tossed on IR. But honestly I think we would have been very lucky to even get a 3rd for him. RBs just don't have that kind of value anymore.

Give us Denver's next two first round draft picks for him....anything less than that i call :icon_bs:

And if Xanders agreed to that, he should be fired on the spot, except for the fact that he's a GM of a division rival - so that's Executive of the Year material there.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
