08:06 AM ET 06.07 | Denver is one of more than a dozen teams that will enter the season with a quarterback controversy. Kyle Orton will start for the Broncos, start for another team or become a backup somewhere else. ... After Kevin Kolb, Orton appears to be the most alluring quarterback on the block ... Since he has one year left on his contract at $8.5 million, teams consider Orton (A) serviceable until they develop a rookie, (B) a dependable upgrade, (C) a prolific passer who was with a lousy running game and a miserable defense, (D) a one-season bargain. Orton could be had for a second-round draft choice or the right player (a starting defensive tackle), or the Broncos might be willing to let him go for a conditional selection or two.

Broncos, who cares.

Letting Orton go would put all those eggs in a pretty unproven basket. Of course, you could argue that the Orton Years haven't been very good, either.
One thing, though. If they start Tebow, maybe we could get a different picture. Better, maybe, maybe not, but at least different.

Second rounder, eh?

Not sure I totally buy this one. There really is no one to fall back on. Elway has no faith in Tebow. How would a second rounder improve this situation.
BTW, what happened to Brady Quinn?

Wonder would they take McNabb for him, straight up.

Wow, the Broncos sound like they're going to be a mess this season. Oh, never mind, there isn't going to be a season. Rest easy, Denver.

Bro, your avatar is straight.
I don't think any team is willing to gamble on McNabb after his debacle in DC.

Reason 2 why they can't trade Orton.

Nope, just Tebow, Elway playing golf and an old one of Elvis before he left the building.
The Josh McDaniels pictures have been retired, I would suspect.

I would think the Cardinals would trade a second rounder for him in a heartbeat.
