I shall answer your question with a question. Have you ever seen a pro team not build their playcalling around the skillsets and talents of the players they have instead of the ones they wish they had?
The idea that the Broncos should have kept their playbook the same regardless of who's under center is ridiculous.
Quarterback is the most important position on the field, and they are not 'one size fits all' anymore. Tim Tebow has a different set of skills than Kyle Orton. In what world would it be logical for the offensive coordinator to then continue to use an offensive scheme based around the abilities of the previous guy?
That would be like having Michael Vick go down from injury and expecting Matt Hasselbeck to step in and be a scrambling threat.
As a coach, you have to be able to adjust according to the assets you have on the field. Refusal to do so is bull-headed and stupid.
