I recall around here about a year ago broncos fans complaining about how Orton couldnt stretch the field and thats why they didnt have a running game .That he was simply a dink and dunk game manager who chose the safe throw all the time.

Now Orton is some fantasy god who all he cares about is his stats and holds onto the ball too long ?

These are the same fans who booed Orton at a PRACTICE after he was traded to Denver .

At this point the Broncos front office has to consider Tebow as they traded multiple picks to get into the first rd and REACH for him to begin with .

However everyone knows Kyle Orton is the best QB on the roster but Elway and Fox have got to hope that Mcdaniels knew he was was doing and Tebow can be a starting QB in this league .

Denver hasnt made the playoffs in 6 seasons if they trade Orton and Tebow bombs if they think its bad now wait until they feel the “I told you so’s” of the national pundits when it comes to Tebow you add in that Elway will immediately get tagged with the Matt Millen II label and the Broncos are now back in the search for a QB again.

They will be looking at 9-10 years without a playoff appearance in that situation mixed right in with teams like Bills ,Browns ,Lions .

There are many fans whose plan consists of trading Orton for a 3rd rd pick . Start Tebow and if he bombs oh well we will just draft Luck.

Broncos fans are about as naive of a NFL fan as it gets right now and Elway and Co have difficult decisions to make that will either put the broncos back on the path to the former esteem they once held or will be bottom feeders who will be facing not only on the field issues but ownership issues as well as the pat Bowlen the owners health is already rumored to be deteriorating .

Sounds like a bit of doublespeak — not exactly a good way for the new coaching staff to make an impression (a first impression at that).

Quinn- If you look up QB in the dictionary it would probably have his picture he’s the ultimate looks the part, just doesn’t play like it. His best days were at Notre Dame losing the Fiesta or Sugar bowl. He couldn’t even win the popularity contest that was the Heisman in college, I’m not surprised he didn’t we the popularity contest to start in Denver either.

Tebow- The best thing a team can do to sell tickets and Jersey’s is to bring a big name player to the team even if they don’t play well (Matt Stafford, Jamarcus Russell, Matt Leinart) and if you want to make money there’s nothing wrong with that. I remember Arizona bringing Emmitt Smith to the Cardinals when everyone knew he was past his prime. Maybe Tim will play well and maybe he won’t the fans show up to see him play even if it’s not go. Fox’s old team has the same problem with Newton fans don’t buy tickets to see Clausen behind center. Just give the kid a chance and worst case they end up with the same record as last year.

In all seriousness, it sounds like Fox is leaning towards Tebow. But Orton remains the better passer. If Denver could get any semblance of defense, they would need to worry as much about the offense all the time.

TRT is not the answer since he sucks. Orton should be the QB of this team. It’s not even close. The answer here in Denver is to get back to the basics: 1. run the damned rock; 2. get better on D.

If you people really need better evidence, why don’t you check out Orton’s stats from last year in play action situations. He was one of the top five in the league in YPC on play action plays. WE DID NOT HAVE A RUNNING GAME yet he was a beast in play action!

The best QB should get the nod. If we ship him to an NFC worst team with a good running game and solid D, we’ll be watching Orton in the playoffs when TRT gets hurt and we have to roll out Brady Quinn and some wounded duck throws.

Safe to at they wont be looking to trade for Romo.

Like he always has? You mean like he did in Chicago with a great defense when he didn’t have to do anything.

I love how everyone looks at Orton’s stats and sees this great, underrated dynamo of a QB and laughs at Broncos fans for not liking him. If you would actually watch the games, Orton had the ball in his hands at the end of the game with a chance to tie or win and he choked all 4 times. 4 times he screwed us out of wins, and it wasn’t in big shootouts, it was games in the teens or twenties in points most of the time.

Orton is an average stopgap. Tebow may not be the future of the franchise, but Orton definitely isn’t, so it has to be time to give Tebow a shot.

Orton may look better in practice but falls apart under pressure or in tight games. Tebow seems to thrive on it and might not look great in practice but players rally behind him.

Fox will make the right choice.

Have you ever been to colorado springs?

It is interesting to hear Fox being so chatty with the press though since he wasn’t known for that in Car. I happen to think this version is more of his natural personality coming out.

I didn’t realize Mss. Cleo was a reader of PFT under the name souldogdave. You are a jack ass. Denver or Colorado is not what would be considered a deeply religious area. I don’t believe in God but I don’t hate on Tim because he does. I think people like you are just jealous of the man. It’s not his fault that people like him and admire him. He is just being the man he thinks he should be. You should do the same.

Um, no we didn’t. That was easily the most criticized move that McDaniels made, in the eyes of the Bronco fans. There were two people that thought it was a good trade – Quinn and McDaniels. Nobody else.

Sorry Brady,I didn’t realize you were an avid PFT reader.
