IMO, with our current line, pass pro is more important for our third down back than hands. . .

i would trade moreno for ANY draft pick, even one at the end of the 7th-- i don't think we're likely to get any offers, though, unless mcdaniels can fool belly with a powerpoint presentation. . . FTR, i'm not suggesting cutting him outright-- i think he's VERY beatable in camp, though. . . i simply don't think he's a fox kind of back, and no one besides xanders in the current regime was involved in picking him. . .

Studesville and McCoy are still around and lets not forget that it took him getting hurt for Willis to get the job. He was Foxy's starter going into the season

He's too fragile to be a feature back, but he can still contribute in a platoon.



I dunno dog, pretty much every year Fox was in Carolina a RB was top 3 in receptions. Part of that is probably lack of talent at other positions, but I think Fox appreciates having a back who can catch.

If you can get good value in a trade, fine trade him. He is fragile. But unless he gets beat out for a roster spot in camp, makes zero sense to cut him. Good third down backs are an essential part of an offense imo, and Moreno is that already.

moreno is a dissapointment , REGArdless OF WHAT ROUND HE WAS SELECTED, HOWEVER...
because he was a FRDC, he is definately a poor value !
we can do better and we can do it cheaper.
we can get 3 backs for the price of moreno, they will all play special teams and contribute more to the team.
moreno is toast as a bronco !
(unless his agent can renegotiate for the league minimum plus incentives)

for 3 years, the broncos have given KM every opportunity to justify his existence. he has FAILED to do that EVERY season!
Time to recognise reality and CUT our losses!
The DUI just makes it a FRONT PAGE REALITY.

How?

I said Moreno was a bust when they drafted him. I still think he is a bust. Now all the guys who are saying he is wasnt a bust, are saying he is a bust. You guys should have just agreed with me a few years ago, so we don't have to have this "I told you so" discussion.

Sucks that this happened to him..
I like moreno and i hope he stays a bronco
I think he can be good in the future..
Not td good,but some help

For what it's worth, I think he was probably quite drunk, just based on the fact he was sent to a detox center. A lot of agencies I know of do that when a bac level is .3 or above. I don't think we are taking about him being just a little buzzed, or even +/- a few hundredths of .08.

If we ge rid of a talent,like this over one incident his entire life then thats pathetic. Moreno is a good player who can help this team.

most would disagree before the DUI?
how much are we paying KM this year/
answer: too much.
broncos will dump him for someone better and CHEAPER !
his talent can best be discribed as
" often injured, mediocrity"

Well his cap number is like 800k or something silly low this coming season so you won't really find something cheaper....

I agree it was a stupid thing to do
But id really like to see him reach what he is capable of,in denver
Wouldnt be surprised if he isnt here next season

yes, after paying him MILLIONS for doing a mediocre and absentee act for 3 years, lets give him another shot in his contract year he can step up, perform, get a new deal and go back to being a bum.
yes, lets do that.

A FTH ROUND ROKKIE WILL BE CHEAPER, AND MOSTlikely more productive.
