For some reason NFL.com keeps mentioning that Fox got fired after that atrocity of a season in 2010.

Denver Broncos' John Fox quiet on Carolina Panthers

If John Fox were built a little differently, this week would have a potential for ugliness.

Schein: Broncos. More ...

The Denver Broncos coach on Sunday returns to the house of his former employer, the Carolina Panthers, who fired Fox in 2010 after nine seasons with the team.

Fox has spent this week artfully dodging questions of revenge.

"It's the most important game, because it's the next one," Fox told The Denver Post. "You don't get but 16 of these opportunities. Right now we're 5-3, and the only guarantee we have is 5-11. So, you know, it will be just like any week from the standpoint of it's the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers at their place. That's the only real thing I know."

Asked if he'd stick to the heavy coach-speak until kickoff, Fox confirmed as much: "Yes, put that in a quote and you'll hear it many times."

Well I can go in detail about how Fox thinks being mum about the situation is going to fool people and babbling incoherently like a low price Yogi Berra impersonator for hire, but instead I'll clarify for NFL.com. Fox was never fired after 2010, his contract expired and he was just simply allowed to walk. But he should definitely have been fired no later than an hour after that garbage display of football Panther fans witnessed against Arizona at home in the playoffs.

Don't worry. Once Manning retires in 2 years, Denver fans are going to be glad weed is legal, bc Fox will be drafting 6th round QBs and trying to "develop" them for 20 years.

I thought the huddle pinned all the draft picks on the GM. I wish we could get some consistency around here.

not fox's m.o.

find an old mature QB and ride him till he breaks and then ride him a few more years.

fox doesn't want anything to do with devloping players, esp. QB.

he tried with brett basanez and matt moore, no? unfortunately, he will probably pick up mike glennon and have him train under manning, and in the end fox won't look that bad to denver fans. god, i hate the man.

      I kinda hate getting our pick spoiled but at least the Huddle has more Time to debate

      I don't care about offensive production for a team that literally only threw to him and the running back. I care about what I see on film:   Dude cannot separate on his own against talented LBs/S and had to be schemed open; his route running is below average; while pretty athletic, he doesn't have elite athleticism or speed; his blocking form has quite a few red flags (dude should be a dominant run blocker for his size). He was talented enough to get open in college against a slower LB/S; that won't be the case in the NFL. Not to mention, the dude pretty much was nonexistent until this year for Penn St. If I am drafting a TE in the top 10, choosing a 5th year senior that didn't do anything until his last season should be pretty alarming. Not saying he is going to be a bad player - I think he will be a solid short/intermediate possession TE in the NFL. I just don't understand the logic of taking him top 10

      No one is arguing where we were on the season.  After the benching Bryce was one of the top deep ball passers in the league.  It's a skillset he has just shown he is capable of doing.  I believe he led the league in week 12 and was one of the top ones for that final quarter.  Dance around the topic and argue the stats all you want, I'm just going by what I saw on TV and read about.   https://x.com/PattonAnalytics/status/1877044086709854343 https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/bryce-young-best-against-pressure-throwing-deep Hey it surprised me as well, but I'm not going to hide my head in the sand and try to ignore what is clearly right in front of me.  People have a hard time admitting their original thought may have been wrong.  That's just the world we live in.  We will see if Young can keep it up next year or not, but signs are point to DC running his offense regardless of who is QB.

      You are right, but as of late there has been more rookie TEs making immediate impact on teams. McBride, Laporta, Kincaid and obv Bowers.  My true opinion is the team has so many holes they can go multiple directions including Safety. So it just comes down to out of all the talent in the draft who will make the immediate impact. Wr? TE? LB?
