Must-win for Orton in Denver

Considering Timmy is #3 on the depth chart, the question should be whether Brady Quinn would be an improvement...Of course that question has already been answered, but protocols must be observed.

They should have traded them when they had the chance. Might have gotten something for him.

I'm trying to decide who is worse - Denver or KC.

They've really bungled things in Denver. Nothing sinks a team quicker than a QB controversy.

You're right on with that, Stu....Soon after the contract was signed, there was enough chaos to have gotten something in value from any or all of Denver's reputed QBs...OK, that's a bit unfair...Orton *isn't* that bad.

I guess the Post can't accept the fact that excluding QBs, Oakland and Cincinnati might just be better teams than the Donkeys. If they are, then why is it a fatal flaw for Orton if they lose both?

*contract = CBA

agreed. They asked for a 2nd rounder and that's just a little too much.

Like Orton is the whole problem, anyway.

What was the comment? "Orton is just good enough to lose" I think it wasNot like he's the worst qb in the league but he sure ain't the best either

I'm not sure Oakland wouldn't be better off trading Campbell for Orton straight up. Orton's a better game manager and Jason isn't exactly lighting up the skies with his arm.

This whole situation is a wonderful cover-up/misdirection. Start Orton, start Tebow, start Quinn ... it won't matter because the defense can't stop a nose from running.

oh just start tebow already

they already found out and that's why he's 3rd string....Brady would have a hard time going .500 on this team...it's turrible

Orton, while he is no Tom Brady is still probably their best bet to win some games.

Game two of the season and it's already a must win? come on!

I don't see how this is a must win.

Even if Kyle Orton breaks franchise records the fans will still hate him.

More easily explain than the personal hatred others have for Tebow...I think the Tebow hatred stems from a couple of sources, his devout religion and the media portrayal of him. Face it, regardless of his football abilities, he's not on an ego trip like a lot of these guys. He doesn't manipulate or organize what the media says about him. He has all appearances of being a pretty humble guy.

Did anyone in the Denver front office send a thank you note to Josh McDaniel for leaving this time bomb?

Hail Mary full of Grace put Tebow in 2nd place.
