Seriously, as revealing as some of his comments were last year, he's recently made some comments that indicate it's even worse than thought. The guy's not a leader. He's all about himself. He's a cancer to the team. He needs to be gone. And he's not even that good anyway.

Well, as average a QB as i think Orton is i dont think he is a cancer. At least not in the mold of Owens or the like. I really dont have a problem with his comments, most of it is probably out of frustration from trying to please everybody. But, i would love to be able to move on from having him as our starter. I would prefer to see what Tebow has, or even Quinn at this point.

Patience. We must all exercise patience.

At this point, there's no need to rush that decision. The team tried to move him, and the deal couldn't be made. But. . .the team wasn't going to discount him too much. They're going to get a good value for him at some point, and I'm fine with that.

He said he wouldn't be a backup and said if he is, to not count on him helping anyone try to be successful. How is that not being a cancer?

Thats the thing. Most of them will try to avoid making comments. You have some guys like Brandon Lloyd who speak out of self-interest but beyond that, you won't hear from the team.

Not only that, but you have some young players that you're trying to groom in a team focused environment. Kyle Cancer is the embodiment of selfishness.

lol,

Well, you may be correct but im going to hold off on my judgement of that until i hear players grumbling about it. I think its pretty apparent that Kyle isnt the leader type but we knew that already.

Youve said Orton is the Broncos T.O. I dont take anything you say about Orton seriously.

The comment Orton made about pleasing the fans is his last goal was not a slight at the fans at all imo. Orton is a professional, and what fans think is beyond his control. Why would he concern himself with what fans think above his coaches or teamates.....?

Id be interested in what Orton said on that radio show.

I know what your saying and it all makes sense. The problem is even if Orton didnt want that quote to be a slight it actually comes across as one. Even though the fans have no say on who is the starter, etc no fan wants to hear a player say stuff like that. Its just the way it is and what a player says to the media is taken to heart regardless of how accurate it is. Is it his responsibility to care? Nope. But it also means that he is free game to be criticized for whatever comments he makes. Even though i havent heard him come out and say he hates the fans i havent seen him make any positive comments about the fans either.

I've compared him to Owens only in the matter of that he's holding the organization back and does not give his all or lead the team correctly and therein is cancerous, he cares more about securing a job and doing it mistake free then surpassing the standards and being better then he appears. Being half-assed is the same no matter who the athlete is, whether it's Orton, Cutler, Plummer, Marshall, Owens, McNabb or Thomas.

So you can take me seriously or not, I care not Nor...that is completely up to you. But what he's done and says will always be refuted and questioned in whatever context until he does more then sit down and whine like a little bitch, as he did last year when they started Tebow over him, just like what he said this year about "being a starter and not a backup". Hell, if he is so good Nor and he's without refute why did his former team give up the farm for Cutler? Why did only a couple teams look at him and only one try to even take it further only to pull out? It's because he thinks too highly of himself, isn't that a little Owenish?

We'll never see eye to eye, but maybe try to look at it objectively and you'll see other's view points on the subject.

Oh, im sure he cares a little bit. Every player wants to feel wanted and respected. Your kidding yourself if you dont think he really cares. Does he lose al of sleep over it? Nah, but he does care even if its just a bit.

look at question about backup to Tebow

This thread to me: "That dude is a douche for that stuff he did, you know?"

I think the problem begins with the fact that Orton was never really going to get a fair shake in Denver. He reminded the fans of a trade in which a much better prospect was traded, he then had to deal with the fans wanting a franchise quarterback of their own, not a questionable veteran and booing him, the trade for Quinn and even the drafting of Tebow. It got worse at the end of the year when fans really booed him and screamed for Tebow and then the team starts Tim and he throws a fit and really looks bad. And then again he sort of goes out of his way to ensure no peace between the fans and himself with questionable comments because the booing continues.

He really hasn't done himself any favors that's for sure, I'm really surprised that he didn't take the Miami trade just to get a fresh start, but big money is big money and we know that's why he stayed.

I dont think Orton is a cancer in the locker room, not to most players, he is a shit to the other QBs though. And, he is definitely a cancer to the fanbase. Every poll I've seen is in the 80% area as far as wanting Tebow over Orton and Quinn will isualky get 5-8% so Orton's aproval rating is hovering somewhere in the 15% range.

Bad QB play on 3rd down, in the RZ, against the blitz, and in the clutch will get noticed by fans.

How this goes:

If you have a positive outlook on Orton, everything he says has a purpose and is ok.

If you have a negative outlook on Orton, everything he says is a jab at someone.

I have the negative outlook on Orton not because I want Tebow to start, hell I've said since the scrimmage that I don't know that Tebow is the answer. I have a negative outlook on Orton because I don't see him as the Broncos future. Is the future on this roster? I don't know. I don't like some of the things he says. I think he's average at best as a QB. I think he is absolutely atrocious in the red zone. There's just not a lot of things that I value in a QB that I see in Orton.

Am I right? Maybe. Is there a right when it's your opinion. No, because you see it the opposite. It's just my opinion.

Do I think he's a cancer? No. I just think he's a crappy QB and we could do better.

look at question about backup to Tebow


Am I missing something here? What was wrong with this?

Could you embrace being the backup for Tim Tebow if he won the starting quarterback job? What is your relationship with Tim Tebow?

"I don't plan on being a backup. I know where my game is at and I certainly don't plan on being a backup. Listen my relationship with Tim is just like the relationships with ten wide receivers fighting for five jobs or the eight offensive lineman fighting for no jobs. I mean that is just how it is and throughout the locker-room there is competition throughout and your relationship never really goes beyond that to where I don't like this guy because I am competing with him. I've competed for 20 years of my life and you can still continue to have relationships."

?????????




Or they would say, what ever is best for the team and that they would work hard to compete for starting position.

Orton feels he should be the starter and that hes not a backup in the NFL. Theres nothing wrong with saying that.

Thats pretty stupid considering Tebow is the most hyped rookie EVER. Thats cool you got your lil poll data (which amount to zilch btw), but if your so clueless as to the reason for Orton getting around 15% other than its mostly because of TEBOW HIMSELF the the hype that surrounds him, well, then your a hater. But thats already been established. IF Orton was a probowler last year, overwhelmingly Tebow would still get the nod in every poll for very obvious reasons.

I disagree with the OP...in my opinion it's the Tebow Tunour that needs to be cutting out.

After that whole "my dream was grabbed away from me comment proved Tebow doesn't want to actually earn the #1 spot with his play on the field but wants all his competition shipped out of dodge. What kind of leadership is that??

Qnd then there's the way he has disrespected the fan base by not putting in the work needed to actually improve over the off-season. Too busy shiiling for Jockey and Nike I guess.

Plus his selfishness on the field hurts the team. On 3rd down instead of looking to get the ball into someone else's hands, Tebow always wants to be the hero and make the play himself. Not sure if its pure vanity. Or lack of football IQ but what makes T2 think he can take on 3 tacklers every time and get the chains to move? All the glory has to go to Tebow I guess, just like when he was in NCAA.

And you want a devisive cancer, look at what TT has done to Broncos Nation. First, we've got all these Gator fans who don't give a damn about whether the Broncos win or lose, as long as all the glory goes to their demi-god. Then you've got long-time "real" Bronco fans literally crying because the 2nd string QB isn't playing with the #1 offense. Again, who cares about the success of the TEAM, only Timmy Tumour's success matters. Sad really... :(

Kyle asked for a trade.
Kyle is a free agent in waiting.
Kyle is playing for his next contract.
Kyle is NOT the future of this team.

If we could trade Kyle...
just say another team was dumb enough to do it...
or had to because of an injury to their starter...

at least we would get SOMETHING for him.

Other wise... we GIVE Kyle a showcase for his free agency..
with our precious starting QB time in 2011...
and then he walks...
leaving us with undeveloped talent on the bench.

Right back at square one.

It simply makes no sense to me.

Are we really rebuilding? Let's rebuild.
All positions...
excluding the QB spot makes no sense.

I will give EFX credit.. they traded the mediocre one...
but he botched the deal with his unrealistic salary demands.

Kyle "Stopgap" Orton.... he is only a placeholder.

If a trade could happen.. I would do it in a heartbeat.

Problem is.. NOBODY WANTS MEDIOCRITY.

Well now we have both sides. But the answer is, YOUR BOTH WRONG.

Niether Tebow or Orton are selfish humanbeing and both of thier characters are unquestionable.

As far as the comment about Tebow being selfish on the field, all the greats are. The best want the ball when the pressures on and a big play is needed. Its not about being selfish, its about being confident.

with our precious starting QB time in 2011...
and then he walks...
leaving us with undeveloped talent on the bench.

Right back at square one.

It simply makes no sense to me.

Are we really rebuilding? Let's rebuild.
All positions...
excluding the QB spot makes no sense.

I will give EFX credit.. they traded the mediocre one...
but he botched the deal with his unrealistic salary demands.

Kyle "Stopgap" Orton.... he is only a placeholder.

If a trade could happen.. I would do it in a heartbeat.

Problem is.. NOBODY WANTS MEDIOCRITY.

Well who posted that quote from him? Tebow said that the text was take out of text and that he never wanted the job handed to him, he wants to earn it.

Exactly! A real man stands up and owns what he said. You don't hear Orton whining that he was misquoted when the fanbase questions what he said. B ut Timmy Tumour runs and hides from his comments.

So far its not looking like Tebow is handling have to earn things with his play on the field too well. Hopefully he doesn't become even more of a distraction in the dressing room and in the stands.

I don't get this. Orton was handed the very job Orton supporters INSIST Tebow must earn. If that aint better than a fair shake, I don't know what is.

Orton knows it is about winning. He even referenced as much coming here. The problem is he hasn't won.

People continue to say anything for Orton, like the fair shake, or lack of defense despite it not only being false but categorically false. Orton had the #1 D for much of 09 and 7th overall by season's end. If people are crying that he needs a D better than that, than I don't know what to say :noidea:

I think the problem begins with the fact that Orton was never really going to get a fair shake in Denver. He reminded the fans of a trade in which a much better prospect was traded, he then had to deal with the fans wanting a franchise quarterback of their own, not a questionable veteran and booing him, the trade for Quinn and even the drafting of Tebow. It got worse at the end of the year when fans really booed him and screamed for Tebow and then the team starts Tim and he throws a fit and really looks bad. And then again he sort of goes out of his way to ensure no peace between the fans and himself with questionable comments because the booing continues.

He really hasn't done himself any favors that's for sure, I'm really surprised that he didn't take the Miami trade just to get a fresh start, but big money is big money and we know that's why he stayed.

read the Fing article. They worked out no different than any others. They worked to get their timing down. You can hate all you want but Orton was too busy drinking in Vegas during the earliest of workouts. Try hating on that for once. So what if Tebow has a damn book deal? Id rather that than him hanging with Jack and Jim all night in Vegas.


Where the hell did Orton "lead" workouts? :confused: Here is a clue-HE DIDN'T!!!! The Denver workouts were arranged, organized, and "led" by Dawkins. So trying to use this as some point for Orton doesn't really work. Again Orton didn't bother to get involved until later on.

Whoops there you go taking a logical approach dispensing with the emotional crap.

Your going to be attacked by one and all of his haters.

I'm guessing that if TEbow is not a backup very few folks would be lambasting Orton like they are.
About the only ones would be, are those that wrapped their reps around jay and are still pissed the head case was moved.

Yes I'm competing for the job against a very raw rookie and Quinn. They have a legit chance at beating me out. Because I started all but a few games last year and before Pat appeased the fans I was a league leader in passing.
I have a great repore and timing with my receivers about the only reason we lost some games last year was because the defense sucked and we had no running game.

Sorry but he is so much better than the other guys it is scary if yiu want to win more games.

Yet the qb is not the only person responsible for the WL record. If ourvD was worth a crap or the OL had not been playing leap frog almost all the year and Moreno the starter had not been injured for much of the year I'll bet we would have had a better record.
Not playoff record but better. And if it was not for the uber brutal schedule tiis year it would be looking like 3 to 6 more wins than last year.

I'm not supporting him but the fact is he is the best one on the team as we speak. Unless we get a great draft choice or another starter he plays most if the y ear.

Its depressing as hell that Orton is our best option. We have two first round picks and a seasoned vet and one of the worst QB situations in the league.

Orton has never shown anything to prove he's anythjng better than a stopgap yet we're goijg on three years with this subpar player as our starter. It sucks. Cant wait till we draft an actual QB.

Henne has thrown two picks. I fantasize they get desperate and throw the sink at us for Orton. That would make my day.

Or Seattle with Jackson... I meant to watch that game but heard he was terrible too... Problem is if I was Pete, I'd want Quinn instead...

They also got a free ticket to Florida and a hotel paid for. might have been part of the reason.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in china, Lonestar? :confused:

The fact is, our 2nd string QB with all his issues, still took the initiative to fly WR's out to work with in the offseason at a point in time when it looked as though there might not be football and as MO so jealously points out had an upcoming book tour. Orton could have easily done just as much and should have as the starter. Brees, Manning, Rodgers all organized workouts for their teams. Again Orton didnt. I think it points to leadership and Tebow displayed it. But hey, Orton knew he was the unquestioned starter-sounds like the entitlement that MO is rallying against.

Oh and by the way, I am sure Gaffney, Lloyd and any of the other players could have paid their own way to FL. Again, Leadership on Tebow's part.

Yet the qb is not the only person responsible for the WL record. If ourvD was worth a crap or the OL had not been playing leap frog almost all the year and Moreno the starter had not been injured for much of the year I'll bet we would have had a better record.
Not playoff record but better. And if it was not for the uber brutal schedule tiis year it would be looking like 3 to 6 more wins than last year.

well, i think we're starting to talk on different issues now. I'm not pointing all the blame on Orton, He just wasn't fun to watch. Some qbs might have had more in their repertoire to at least make a show of it with what he had :shrugs: i think those types are far and few between. Kyle, imo, just ran out of things to do with what he had. I dont' think he's that great of a qb, otoh, I don't blame him for most of went went down last season.

Ok I can dig that..

Was I happy with the end result? no.

But as you said
i think those types are far and few between.

Until we find one that can be the end all Orton is not all that bad..

N ow Tebow has potential but I do nto think he is ready..
Unless we can get a blow the doors off deal for Orton allow Tim to get some practice time and Game film time behind waht a lot of team would like to have a good QB.. and yes I know not everyone was kncoking down teh door for him.. But in some cases they drafted new toys for their future ..

Does anyone think if the lockout not happened one or more of those teams would have taken him before drafting a complete unknown..

Seems resonable to me. But then I do not hate the kid..

Tebow showed up weeks later after his little self-absorbed book tour.

Wrong Again!!

I didn't fail to do anything. Several of us knew of these comments. This thread was directed at those familiar with his comments. At no point was I under any obligation to provide the exact quotes as several are already familiar with them and, again, that's who this thread was directed towards. This is a discussion thread, not a courtroom.

All I meant is that you didn't provide the source.
