Orton is like that lame guy at the party who wasn't even invited; yet he doesn't get the vibe that nobody wants him to stick around as he drinks all of our beer.
================================
it's okay. An informal poll by the Denver Post showed a whole 8% of fans don't want to see Orton go.
==================================
Here's a way to get back at him...
1. Make Tebow the starter.
2. Promote Quinn to 2nd.
3. Make Orton the 3rd string emergency QB in his last year of contract.
Let's see what he gets as a FA with one year on the pine.
====================================
Theoretically Tebow should be the one throwing picks left and right, after all Orton is supposedly leaps and bounds above Tim in terms of passing. Is he not?
=====================================
If Orton stays, expect a lot of booing and "TE-BOW" chants when he's getting pwned at home this year.
======================================
To be fair that same harshness can be found with Orton supporters as well. I support the Broncos as a team because that's what they are, but I admit that Tebow is far more inspiring and energetic than Orton. Orton projects himself as a very timid and meek individual, but that's just my opinion.
=======================================
Orton is and will forever be better than Moore and Devlin. I think he's better than Henne, I guess that could be debated.
======================================
Orton trying to get paid before he fades away into continued mediocrity.
======================================
Just the fact that KO was on the trading block and all of ONE team showed any real interest in talking about obtaining him tells me all I need to know about how teams around the league view KO as a QB.
======================================
Orton was put on the trading block on Day 1.... that pretty much means we don't want him.
No other team seems to want him at the price Denver's asking, along with either the money and/or length of contract Orton wants either.
Again this would obviously include Denver, why else would they be trying to trade him and his contract?
Unfortunately Orton shouldn't be a 9 mil a year Starting QB. Orton was brought in as a stop gap QB as part of the Cutler trade, and we can thank McD for extending and over inflating his contract before the start of last season.
======================================
Denver isn't going anywhere this year, and Orton just isn't that good. The Patriot system that McDiaper brought in made him look better than what he is, just like it has been doing for Brady and Cassel.
In addition, I would rather go 0-16 with Tebow, and know that we need Andrew Luck, then go 7-9 with Orton and be stuck on a treadmill of mediocrity.
========================================
Yeah, Fitzpatrick is very mobile and an excellent team leader, the Bills adore him.
I see no comparisons to Orton. Orton is Trent Dilfer. Except with less leadership, less mobility, and less clutch.
And less arm strength.
====================================
When the game is on the line... I want Tebow. I've seen what Quinn and Orton do in those situations. Crumble...
======================================
He's not the best game day QB. We've seen that already.
Just watch and cry like we did last year. It will happen. I will put money on Denver finishing below 500 with Orton.
Going to be a rough year. At least with Tebow it would be fun to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Tebow last year. It was exciting to see him come to life during the games. Much more exciting than watching Orton take 3 (34 total last year, 30 estimated phantom) sacks a game.
=====================================
