Well, another thing that jumps out at me, sort of... Orton and Tebow are both team oriented individuals, and it wouldn't surprise me a whole lot to see both of them in the mix a LOT. At least next year.Originally Posted by topscribe
If McD is planning on making packages to take full advantage of Tebow's talents I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see the two switch QB duties throughout a game. Nor would I be surprised to see them both on the field in Wild Horses type formations.

Do you see that as long term or just as a gimmick for the 1st year or two? Frankly, i would just like to see one QB behind center as i have yet to see the two headed QB system end with a SB win. I think overall Tebow brings a lot more to the table but i could see McD dabble with the silly wildcat stuff.

A $9 million gimmick? I don't think Mr. Bowlen would go for that . . .

Im talking about the wildcat formation being a gimmick. Orton is just a vet getting paid 9 million until Tebow is fully ready. Orton couldnt gimmick his way out of a paper bag.

is that good, or bad?

This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

Good move. Plus, the extension isn't long. It's just to keep the seat warm until Tebow is ready. This also spells the end of Brady Quinn. Don't see how this is such a bad move.

Definitely, with the team rebuilding he is a seat warmer until we are ready to make a serious run.

This still doesn't mean Orton is here next season. If Tebow isn't ready to start by next sesason, its a MAJOR MAJOR fubar on the coaching staff for selecting a first round QB that can't start.
I personally don't see this as making a difference.

That wasn't from excitement.
That was from being "pissed" off . . .

The Broncos on Thursday night made a move to the future, signing quarterback Kyle Orton to a contract extension through the 2011 season.
Orton was playing on a one-year, $2.621 million contract through the end of this season.
He will make about $8.8 million in salary in 2011, with a $5.5 million guarantee. That brings the balance of his contract over two years to more than $11 million, with $7.6 million guaranteed.
Orton, who arrived in Denver as part of the trade that sent Jay Cutler to Chicago in April 2009, would have become an unrestricted free agent after the 2010 season.
He had expressed desire for a new contract from the Broncos in the offseason, but instead saw the team trade for Brady Quinn in March and draft Tim Tebow in April.
Yet Orton emerged as the clear No. 1 quarterback in training camp. He now has the chance to keep the Tebow Era at bay for another year.
The deal will give Orton three years, in the prime of his career, to succeed with the Broncos under coach Josh McDaniels.
It will also help ease the pressure for rookie quarterback Tim Tebow, who could not get two years of developing under Orton and Brady Quinn, who is also signed through 2011.
Orton is in his sixth year in the NFL and second with the Broncos. Last season, he recorded career high stats with 3,802 yards passing.
"Considering the labor environment, I'm aware of how difficult it was to get this deal done and am extremely appreciative," Orton said in a statement.

I completely agree with you. I don't think it would last long term. Next year though? I think we might see quite a bit of it. McD knows that Tebow must play in order to improve as quickly as he wants. Why not play him more and more as he improves?
I think we will see some of it this year, but I definitely think with Orton locked up for another season we will see more and more of it until eventually Kyle is off to greener pastures and Tim is the #1.

actually I was thinking he was on a suicide watch by now.

Absolutely. Orton gives a team a much better chance to win the division for the next two year.
