Thread: Orton Named Captain by Team Mates

This should be good. Also named were JD Walton, Chris Kuper, Elvis Dumervil, Brian Dawkins and Lonnie Paxton.

I think so.

How cute. It's no wonder the team has sucked so bad. They either don't care about winning or think they're staging some meaningless show of solidarity, like it's them vs the fanbase. Good luck with that.

This has everything to do with dumb****s like Ayers trying to tell the fanbase to get behind Orton. Instead of being worried about winning games, these guys are more worried about meaningless demonstrations of solidarity and declaring war against the fanbase.

So how has JD Walton been playing in camp?

I wish we could just get rid of most of our 55 players and start over, keep the few good ones, just start over. What Josh McDaniels did to this team, organization, and fanbase is almost criminal.

Ayers has been invisible in camp...

dude will probably not be here in 2012.

What he did to this organization is beyond criminal, what he forced the city, players, front office, coaching staff and the fans to endure is much the same. However, can we really blame the players? I'm not being the Devil's Advocate, but think about how some of these players feel...Larsen, Royal, Kuper, Clady, Dumervil, Thomas, Williams (which is ironic because they've become the core of this team and were brought in by Shanahan, yet some hate him) are now in their third regime in what four years? That's just asinine. In that time they've seen the team torn apart, the fans turning baleful because of it all. It's really shitty what we've all had to go through in that same time frame. I'm sure some of the players are just as angry about it all, and probably feel a little spurned by the fans as well...let's face it, it has to be as hard on them as on us, if not worse...no matter what they're paid.

And while I agree I would like to see our roster cleaned, where do we begin? Orton is obvious the best quarterback we have in regards to the in's and out's of the position, game management, mechanics of the position - that doesn't mean I like him or want him to be here beyond this season, but we have to sometimes see it from the players' and coaches' eyes. They feel that winning will win over the fans, they may not realize the level of contempt that we have because of the past and that winning is not enough...because let's face it, it isn't...what we want, what we all want is to be a dominant force once more.

There are those I feel need to be released from the Broncos sooner rather then later, such as Perrish Cox, David Bruton, Nate Jones, David Veikune, Louis Leonard, LenDale White and so forth who are not likely to make the final roster anyways and will likely get chances elsewhere. But we literally have a very young roster give the few solid veterans we have. And they're going to follow those whom are older and selected Orton as the captain because they know no better...so we really can not hold this against them either.

Orton was elected team captain by his teammates last year, plus team
representative. This year, he again has been elected team captain.

Kind of gives us an idea of what they think of him in the locker room, doesn't it?

he was drafted as a pass rusher...
he had zero sacks last year IIRC..

They never called his name out once in the game...
not in on any tackles...
the sports guys on the radio who have watched every practice
say he is virutally invisible.

Nothing would be better than if he finaly plays well...

Some of u guys crack me up. Wow. Mods please create a "I hate the broncos" forum. TIA.

Proof that us fans have zero control over anything.


We are forced to cheer a bad product.


Or boo a bad product.

A locker room thats won 12 games in their last 32. After we win 4 or 5 games this season and jettison the trash, Orton will be one of the first to go, we can draft a new leader (one who actually leads) and really start rebuilding this franchise. Or, we can stick with this mess, extend a below average QB elect him captain once again, and be on our way to joining the Bengals and Browns as perennial top five drafters.
