Maybe. He has a solid o-line and running game with solid WRs and TEs. It's not like he is playing for the Chiefs or Lions ()...as far as ruining him goes. He looked pretty good running with the 1st team last night. In a perfect world, he has time to develop, learn, and be groomed. It is far from a perfect world in Denver right now. I do agree that he shouldn't be the starter...but I am beginning to feel like Orton isn't either.

Unless you are right about McD throwing a lot at Orton to see how he responds and will change his playcalling during the regular season, I don't see how anyone can get behind Orton. Of course, I will root for the guy, but I can't say that I have much confidence in him...and judging from the playcalling the last 2 games, neither does McD.

Either JMCD opened it up when Brandy got in, or Orton has tunnel vision.

I've been trying to do the same thing myself. I've just never been real comfortable with Orton as our starting quarterback. I think what we saw last night from the Bears defense is going to be consistent theme throughout the year. Opposing defenses going work to force Orton to throw over the top because to date he has struggled with doing that.

Ive always like Elvis even when he was one of the few highlights on the Dline. All i heard was "He's too small", "He Sucks!". But when he got moved to LB i knew that was a great fit for him and he will excel there. As for Brandy, he has signs that could be good in the long run but right now to have him be a starter would be a huge mistake. Let the kid learn from the bench and get more pieces in place before feeding him to the wolves.

he unleashed the kid, because he has to know what he can do, and find out what he's comfortable with. looks like it paid off, because I know for certain Orton couldn't have made that throw.

Brandstater looked the DB off and caused him to hesitate, Orton would have locked on and that DB would have intercepted it.

impressive for a rookie, but he needs to sit at least a year, maybe get thrown in for a series here and there, to just to keep him relatively fresh with the NFL game speed factor, so he can keep that experience fresh in his mind.

If the boy can develop, and freeze DB's like that...we'll have a gunslinger for years to come.

He throws a pretty ball too.

yeah i knew dummerville was gonna be good too.. i never knew why shanny would only put him in twice a game when he was a rookie.
maybe when Marcus Vick stepped on in him in college he became a machine!

and brandstetter looked good too IMO

Also, I have to believe that McD has been calling a plethora of pass plays in attempts to get Orton as comfortable as possible with the offense. If I see 4 passes from first and goal in the regular season, I will lead the charge to decapitate McD.

The playcalling changed when Brandstater came in, and we ran significantly more. I'm hoping that that's more of the mix we'll see in the regular season. Defenses have to respect the run and if we're only doing that 25%......it's gonna be ugly.

From everything that has been coming out of the players' mouths, McD's got a minimum a good football mind. I'm counting on the fact that if some dumb chick like me can figure it out that he knows it. My fingers are crossed.

The rookie sixth round draft pick outplayed our veteran starter. I sure hope we aren't looking at a dink and dunk offense with Orton. I want a QB who can throw accurately on passes longer than 10 yards.

He needs 3 years in the system. We cant judge him till then.
