I am not a fan of the offer. Hence the baghead emoticon. I agree with you that the Broncos have very little leverage in this situation. I don't see another team out there trying to get Orton, so why is he even worth a third. This is both stupid and short sighted.
Yea I already posted this a couple of time. So why give up a pick for a guy from another team in the same situation as a guy on our team in the exact same situation.
Of course! This guy is probably the best grab out there to give Henne competition for his job and the best insurance that Ireland and Sporano can purchase that they can last the season. So I cannot blame them for the shortsighted effort seeing it is their butt on the line not ours. If this happens they are true to their word about bringing in competition.
Of course, the jury's also out on Tim Tebow, who would jump to first-team status if Orton hits the road. (Does anyone really give Brady Quinn a chance in this particular derby? Anyone?) But new coach John Fox would face a fan mutiny if Tebow spent the lion's share of another season watching Orton from the bench. No wonder the team's off-season insistence that Orton remained number one on its depth chart generated so much disbelief. Now, the truth is out -- and in the current scenario, it's all but impossible to imagine that Orton will be on the roster when the regular season gets underway.
And the Dolphins are his most likely destination.
