The Facts:
Following up on
the ongoing story. ... According to Post columnist Woody Paige, citing a "trusted" source who worked closely with former HC Josh McDaniels, advised readers that McDaniels and the staff believed privately they made a big mistake on Moreno (in drafting him). He was not what they thought. He hasn't been tough, smart, motivated, if that's what you're asking. He has been a bust. I've said it before. He's not a great clubhouse guy. Interpret that how you want, and he's been a wimp on the field.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While the rhetoric here is a bit more intense -- we haven't actually heard the terms "bust" or "wimp" used before, the bottom line remains unchanged: It appears more and more like Moreno isn't a good fit for the Broncos. As Paige noted, new HC John Fox is bringing back the zone blocking scheme, and Moreno is not a one-cut back who will go against the grain, or, at least, he hasn't been, and he doesn't get into the secondary fast. They need another running back bad, and Fox, in a three-hour conversation with Paige last week, said running back is the priority in free agency. Can you say DeAngelo Williams?
