Quarterbacks Weigh In

[Denver Native (Carol)]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Head Coach John Fox officially named Kyle Orton the starting quarterback yesterday for the season opener at home against the Oakland Raiders on Monday, Sept. 12.

Orton said the announcement didn't affect the way he is preparing for the season.

"I didn't have any thoughts on it to be honest," Orton said after practice Tuesday. "Just keep going, business as usual."

"I didn't have any thoughts on it to be honest," Orton said

I think this is why I dislike Orton. The guy is a complete milk toast of a personality. I think I'd like him better when he's drunk. Eh, maybe not. He'd just be drunk milktoast. I get that he's the best QB we have at the moment (hurl), but show some flare forchristsake. How about "Tim and Brady are my hoes"...something....anything. But no thoughts on it? Really?

[chazoe60]

Orton is the most boring interview ever, that's not why I dislike him. I dislike him because his play style matches his interview style.

[TX_Broncos Fan]

"Business as usual" just means he is okay with being average. Where's the leadership? I'm not okay with average at the most important position on the field. Let's at least see some fire, even if your play is average.

[hamrob]

that IS his way of calling them his hoes. . .

:wave:



translation-- "i had this all along, this isn't news". . . .If he was even a part time leader, he would have said something to the fact, that they are all competing and that Brady, Tim and Weber are all working hard...so, that just pushes me to work that much harder. Those guys are great competitors and it's a privilege being number 1.

That's a leader's statement. Pull the team together...don't allow sides to be drawn.

What a punk!

This is why a lot of people hate him. He's all about himself. He talks about being worried about what his teammates think. But if that were really true and it were all inclusive, he would talk like you said and there wouldnt be factions where you have Lloyd sounding off for some stupid reason.

I think they should give out participation ribbons to the other three quarterbacks, and Orton owes them all a drink - kool-aid for Tebow, of course.

Just because you are down there in the fresh air, swim with dolphins all the time, hang out in the sunshine every freaking day, don't have stress of children or spouses (unless something happened while I was gone?)no commute time... why would you have a better view of what's going on then us fat americans, huh??? :D

I'm totally depressed now. :rolleyes:

[PAINTERDAVE]

Ellis is the one that needs to go.

This is what I dont get.

Right now... why does anyone "have to go"?

The Orton trade fell through.
Tebow has been hurt by no OTA's...
Orton is starting. Tebow is in year two of developing.
The team is rebuilding.

I dont get it.. at this point..

why everybody is all..
"Cut Tim. Fire Ellis. Do something dramatic".

There have been a ton of big changes.
There are more coming once the cut downs happen..
the waiver wire and all.
I have had it up to here with dramatic changes.

Time to get to the regular season...
and God knows how many injuries we will see..
because of the shortened camp..
and just because it is football.

Orton is a free agent in waiting.
Quinn is a free agent in waiting.

The O-line and D-line are both paper thin.

Tebow has disapointed us all and himself.
There are enough people piling on him..
Tim is OUR QB to develop...
and Tim will probably get some special packaged plays..
Fox will use Tim as a weapon when he can... no doubt in my mind.
He will be here next year.. competing with the rookie QB we draft..
and hopefully Quinn.

Bowlen is the owner... EFX is just starting out in this incarnation.

Ellis? Crikey... Bowlen aint gonna fire wormtongue... he is entrenched.

How about we just all be happy there is Football..
watch the team rebuild.. root for the Broncos.. ALL the Broncos.

I dislike Kyle... but he's been named starter...
I will support him as long as he plays here.
I will watch as the team showcases his talent for his free agent bid.

The off season debates are over for me.
I aint a believer...
or a koolaid drinker...
but I'll be a supporter and a fan.

[Slick]

I agree with a lot of what you have to say dave, and in the above post as well.

My feelings about pat's mental state go back a while now...

Yeah..... I have seen the same signs... we all have..

but he is the owner... he aint going anywhere...

Just like Al Davis aint disapearing.

[HammeredOut]

according to Madden 12', Tim Tebow is not far behind Orton, in terms of ability. He can throw a better deep ball according to Madden staff.

I think most of us are coming around to this way of thinking...

time to pack in the squabbling arguments and rally around the team.

Lord knows what it will look like by the bye week...

That is why they have to play the games....
no one can predict the future.

There are reasons why me and a few other people dont come around here much anymore.

Of course the Broncos were 3-10.

Of course the Broncos were 11-17 during those best times of Orton's career.

I agree. It would not suprise me in the least that as the season closes, and DEN is 3-13 or 4-12 that rumors begin to swirl about Bowlen selling the team to Elway and a group of investors. I think Pat is much closer than many realize. Just my 2 cents.

Yep! Gotta move along and support the team and except what the coaches have decided.....not that I had any say to begin with:lol:.

Even with Orton being the starter I still think Elway is going continue his search for a franchise quarterback. There is long way between now and the next draft but unless Orton something extraordinary I don't see them giving Orton big money to stay.

And depending on how well Quinn is coming along and improving, Orton may have a shorter leash than we think if he struggles.

First step is to beat the Raiders!

Well.. I remember when we were preparing to play the Raiders at Mile High last year...
everybody was really stoked and it was a lock that we would win.
every body had all there arguments in place...
about why we lost to jacksonville to kick off the season..
etc
etc
etc...

and we were all expecting that game to be
the corner the team would turn around...

OUCH. I wont even state the score.

This season...
I keep seeing folks saying...
"the Raiders have taken a step backwards".

Really... on the white board...
I see that exact wording in a lot of posts...
"the Raiders have taken a step backwards"...
like they are drinking from the same koolaid pitcher.

You know what?

I remember the Raiders beat every team in the AFC WEST TWICE last year.

Undefeated in the AFC West...

I have NO IDEA what to expect come the first game...
on the big Monday night stage...
in our own house.

I sure hope everything holds together.

Go Team!

[Nomad]

Painter, all I know is the Raiders is our first game and they've beaten us 3 games in a row and the last time at Mile High, it was brutal. So I hope the BRONCOS aren't underestimating the Raiders.

These first 3 games should be a good test to see how Orton does against medicore teams (NFL wide standard that is), because the schedule doesn't get any easier as the year goes on.

The Raiders are going to be tough opening week... Orton literally quit in that game last year and you know every Raider defensive player knew it. The mere fact that Orton wasn't benched at halftime just goes to show how pathetic our coaching was last season.

59-14 at home, to a division rival? That's blasphemy. In the end, we still have to deal with McFadden and Bush, and that isn't a good thing for our defense. I also don't have a lot of confidence we can run on their front 7.

I just don't like our chances with Orton back there.
