Thread: Orton Throwing to Fitzgerald in Minnesota.....

This should quiet those Kyle Orton trade rumors.

Orton — the Broncos’ starting quarterback if the season today — has been mentioned as possible trade bait with the quarterback-desperate Arizona Cardinals. He worked out Thursday with Cards star receiver Larry Fitzgerald in Minnesota.

Broncos’ receiver Eric Decker, who starred at the University of Minnesota, also joined Fitzgerald’s famous workouts Thursday.

Maybe Orton will suit up as a Cardinal next season.

That's okay. I couldn't see the other guy's post, anyway.

If Orton is traded, I wouldn't mind his coming out here to AZ. The Cards need a good QB, badly . . .

How does Orton going to Arizona give them a "good QB"...? A game-manager yes, but not a "good QB"...

Along as he is not in a Broncos uniform I do not care who he is throwing to. ROFL!!

I thought Fitzgerald looked a little weak on his short routes (he's dominant on the deep stuff). Probably thought someone like Orton, who can't throw the deep ball well, but can throw 10-20 yard floaters all day long, would be good for him to hone up on his crossing routes, comebacks, out patterns and such.

If they want to work on the deep stuff, I bet they have another QB training with them.

Them's fightin' words.

Fitzgerald would love Orton since Orton is especially strong passing deep. I would
think Fitz would love working with a QB who was among the top in the league
at passes over 25 yards and frequently #1 in the league at over 40 last year . . .

You forgot to mention "Orton was on a record-shattering pace..." and the always popular "and there were those ribs injuries..."

Arizona would have to completely disregard his game against them to trade for him. Injury or not, that was one of the worst QB performances I have ever witnessed in which the QB was not benched. It was pitiful.

If you're going by one single game, then I would think St. Louis would jump for
Orton, Bradford or no Bradford. Same with NE.

I'm sure the Cardinals' game film extends beyond one game . . .

Except, those are the only two games I can think of where he looked outstanding, and the Arizona game is among numerous games where he was downright terrible.

Obviously decisions are not made based on one game. But, impressions can be formed. And if their game film includes 3rd downs and 4th quarters I seriously doubt we'll be getting that 2nd rounder.


I just hope Orton is wearing any NFL uniform except a Denver Bronco one the next time he sets foot on an NFL field.
