Well.... lets see.....


Kurt Warner is not going to run John Fox's system this year, PLUS..as you know he won playoff games, a Super Bowl... been to a TON of Pro Bowls...NFL MVP.... Um... lets see... Married to the ugliest women IN the NFL.

OH and won with "No running game and a terrible defense". In fact he took the worst team EVER to a Super Bowl.

Brett Farve? He text's pictures of his wang to women from "Shotgun formations"...

So even Brett is better in shotgun than Kyle is..

Kurt Warner is a HOF QB. Better than Favre ever was. Totally off topic. Just sayin..

Exactly how it should be. Orton is by far the best QB on our roster right now. If, during the season, he proves us otherwise he should be benched, but there's no point starting the season with a QB who can't read defenses or throw an accurate pass.

The past 3 years have really been difficult to stomach. So many bad moves, so much bad karma, so much embarrassment thanks to Bowlen, Ellis, and mostly McDaniels. It's really a shame that Denver is stuck in such a rut.

It's really a shame that we have become the Chicago Bears of 4 years ago, some of the fans trying to tell us why Orton should be the starter and excuse his glaring weaknesses grasping for anything they can.

From Cutler, Orton, Hillis, Marshall, Mike Nolan, Moreno, Ayers, and all the way to Tim Tebow... I just want this franchise to rid itself of the absolute TAINT Josh McDaniels left.

We had Jay Cutler, ALL we needed was defense. Instead we are stuck with Kyle F'ing Orton, who is an NFL backup who thinks he's a starter, and a defense that is WORSE than it was before we blew up the offense. Kyle Orton gives me, and many others, NO HOPE of anything promising. He is a backup and almost everyone seems to understand that but the few here in Denver who can't seem to grasp it. If he is by far our best option then that just goes to show how pathetic we have become as a franchise.

It's sickening we have to debate this nonsense. It's sickening we are going to have to watch Kyle Orton job out to the huddle week 1. I want all of them gone, all of them. But I know what Orton offers, and it isn't good enough, I would LOVE to see what Quinn or Tebow offer just to see.

As it is I see us winning just enough games to get out of the Luck Lottery and then next season we are stuck in a real jam. Just piss-poor planning from the start. This franchise has become a joke, the most unprofessional in the NFL aside from perhaps Oakland, who kicked the shit out of us last season and finished strong.

It's a shame that we have fallen this hard this fast.

During an appearance on ESPN’s SportsCenter this morning, NFL guru Adam Schefter reported the Denver Broncos will not be trading quarterback Kyle Orton. Per multiple reports, Orton has been the most polished and ready-to-go quarterback for Denver during training camp.

There was some belief during the lockout that Tebow would become the team’s starter, but after struggling in camp and a potential trade between Denver and the Miami Dolphins for Orton failed to come to fruition, the team will decide to go with Orton.

Of course, this could all change during game action in the preseason but for now it looks like Tebow will instead be battling for the number two spot on the depth chart.

Nailed it.
Like a microcosm of the USA in general the last few years.
All i can do now is simply hope for a top 2 pick again.
Pathetic.

Well I think the odds of Denver drafting a QB with it's first pick in he next draft is 80% or better at this point. What do you guys think?

I agree. I think this is the scenario we're going to see this season.

-Orton starts this year and we try to win as many games as possible.

-We try to sign and trade Orton o we let him walk.

-Tebow gets dealt.

-EFX drafts the best QB available with their 1st rd pick.

I think we need to stop the "suck for Luck" talk, as well. We won't be that bad this year. Guys like Nick Foles, Ryan Lindley and Kirk Cousins are more realistic possibilities for us next year at QB than Luck, Jones, Barkley. Sounds like those three are almost guaranteed top 10 QB's, at this point. We're not going to give up that much to trade up when we still have a lot of holes to fill on this team.

Orton should play the first 3 quarters. Tebow should play the 4th quarter if the game is on the line.

Seriously.

I don't understand how anyone can call this over until the preseason games are played. Real games show who is the better player, training camp shows who has more experience.

So, is Tebow still struggling against guys who won't even play in the NFL this season?
