Orton – lost to SD – 35-14
lost to OAK – 59-14

We were in both games with Tebow and NEVER in each game with Orton. They both had the same atrocious defense.

As for Timmy’s completion % dooming him. And I know it was only 3 games.

Rookie year stats of QBS completion % -
Peyton Manning – 56%
Dree Brees – 55%
Mike Vick – 44%
Eli Manning – 41%
Donovan McNabb – 49%
Josh Freeman – 54.5%

Matt Ryan is better then Phillip Rivers?

David Garrard and Kerry Collins are better then Carson Palmer & Kyle Orton?

Eli Manning is better then Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Flacco, and Matt Schaub?

DO YOU EVEN WATCH FOOTBALL?

From MIke Sandos column.

I’ve seen an outline for the rating system breaking down 2010 quarterbacks into six general categories, from top tier to poor. Precise rating numbers were not yet available. The quarterbacks under consideration broke down as follows:

Top tier: Brady, Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan, Michael Vick, Rodgers and Drew Brees.

Well above average: Josh Freeman, Eli Manning and Philip Rivers.

Above average: Ben Roethlisberger, Tony Romo, Joe Flacco, Matt Schaub, David Garrard and Kerry Collins.

Around average: Matt Cassel, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mark Sanchez, Carson Palmer, Colt McCoy, Kyle Orton and Jon Kitna.

Unfortunately, Tebow has a mechanical issue with his throwing motion and he’s been stuck with a team in flux where he hasn’t necessarily gotten the technical support he needs. He has every other quality you could want in a starting QB, but if he can’t master the motion and the reads, he can’t take Denver to the promised land.

What was the lyric from that great Talking Heads song? “Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was…”

P.S. Hey Josh! Yes, you! Josh McDaniels. You don’t know jack. You looked within the soul of Tim Tebow and you saw a guy who’s battling Brandy Quinn for #2, behind an unwanted Kyle Orton. Good job!

This guy couldn’t be a starter in the UFO league even though most of his passes are classified as UFO’s!

This is a guy who couldn’t beat out Derek Anderson! And look what Derek did last year with possibly the best receiving corps in football.

I suspect that Elway’s plan is to get Luck(y)! With either of these T*U*R*D*S at the controls (Quinn & Tebow) that is a virtual certainty!

Good luck Denver!

Dealing away Orton would be the icing on the cake.

Please make it happen donkeyjohn.

Tim Tebow started Denver’s final three games and finished with the highest passer rating (82.1) among the eight NFL rookies that opened a game in 2010, while registering the most rushing yards (199) over a quarterback’s first three starts since the 1970 merger.

— What a totally ineffective loser he was…. oops

Dude you cant be serious?

yeah he had a good rating and some big rushing yards, but he got REAL LUCKY more than once last year. He had that long run against where the defense split and didnt see him until it was too late. ALso he had that TD that went through 3 defenders hands before miracolously being caught for a TD. You can seay miracles happen because he is Tim Tebow, but do you really want to pin your hopes on that. the fact of the matter is he was as below 50% passer (40 of 81). Broncos fans have to be smarter than that.

No one I know would count on a Denver Post writer to know JACK about anything!

Orton – a proven above average QB. He showed some great things in Denver last season, and has the stats to prove it. If he continues to improve in his third season in Denver he could be a great QB. He needs to get the lockroom behind him and needs to be able to rally the players to help him lead the team to victory when they’re down in the fourth quarter like Elway did so many times in the past.

Quinn – a proven below average veteran QB. His long ball accuracy is terrible. He’s had several years, including plenty of playing time as a starter, to improve and has only seemed to get worse. He’s a career backup QB.

Tebow – Tremendous college QB with major potential. He hasn’t really had the chance yet to show anyone what he can really do in the pros. He had what, three or four games as a starter last year? Just like so many of today’s great QBs he needs to be given playing time to either become great (Elway, P Manning, etc etc etc) or become a bust (Leinart, Leaf, etc etc etc).

Personally, I’d like to give Tebow a chance to grow and see what he turns in to. What does Denver have to lose? He’s good and Denver has a franchise QB. He’s bad and Denver’s in the hunt for Andrew Luck.

There is nothing wrong with keeping both of them, but when the game is on the line, when you need a TD or a red-zone conversion, Tebow is the better choice. The rest of the time Orton is average.

But, cheer up Tebow Nation, this is actually an insult to Brady Quinn. He has to struggle with a guy who has horrible mechanics is absolutely a year away from even being considered to be a QB.

My how far the “Mighty Quinn” has fallen.

for Tebow

Just what was McDaniels thinking

Sadly, the Broncos could be highly competitive with Orton if they had 2-3 SOLID RBs and a play-making D (which will be improved with Von Miller & return of Elvis)

Go ahead and look at his Inflated Stats! Mediocre QB…………..
