Poor Orton, everywhere he goes they want to get rid of him.
Boiler up! :[

I know that I'll get laughed at, but I would prefer Tebow to be running the show both in practice and in games. I think Orton showed his peak in an offense built by McDaniels to be pass oriented. It won't be that way this year under Fox. In addition to that Orton isn't much of a dynamic playmaker (can't scramble, will always take the safe option of 3rd or goal line), and I don't see him as the future of the franchise.
I'm not sure Tebow is the future either, but I feel that you have to put him out there and see what he has. If he's not what you want this season, trade, cut, or make him the back up.
Personally, I feel that under Tebow you might have the future, but under Orton you know that he's not it. It's not worth it to waste the season under Orton, plus if we get rid of him we clear the cap space and we will find out what Tebow is good or bad.

for god sake, you played against the 2nd and 3rd string quarterback for the lions and should have lost the first and almost lost the other.
He'll it seem every game bears played last year was against someone backup qb. Bears biggest win last year was against Philly, and they deserve credit for it. But please.

The Falcons had the league low in penalties and were near the league low for turnovers, that has been a recipe for disaster for teams in both the playoffs and the following season. Key examples, the 2008 Dolphins and Giants were bounced in the first week of the playoffs and were terrible in 2009. Further, the 2010 Pats were the team with the lowest turnovers and got promptly knocked out of the playoffs.Eric Walton said:
Penalties (holding and such) as well as takeaways and turnovers can be used as a measure of luck in football. It's not crazy to say that the Falcons and Pats were two of the luckiest teams last season. I expect the Pats not to win the same amount they won last year, but there's no one I see in the AFC that will step up to take that playoff spot from them.
Also, the NFC South got to play the NFC West last season, this year the NFC East gets that benefit. The Falcons went 4-0 against the NFC West, as did the Bucs, and the Saints went 3-1. Forgetting the Panthers for a second, no division was dominated quite like the NFCW was. This season they play the north, should be a much tougher challenge.

No, not really. I think your post is pretty logical.
Orton's numbers from last year are greatly inflated because he was playing from behind most of the time, and defenses were quite soft at that point.
Orton's defining moment last year was his inept 4th quarter against the Jets.
The Ravens are reportedly "very close" to re-signing free agent CB Chris Carr.
We wonder if a deal with Carr might lead to Domonique Foxworth's release. Foxworth is due $4.4 million coming off a torn ACL. Carr has been unable to land a starting job on the open market. The Jets settled on Donald Strickland instead.
FML Jets are going to be paying Cro 10Mil I bet. The sign Moss for like 2Mil. Unreal how bad this is going to turn out.

Dumb question, but how did Nnamdi Asomugha get so good? I was reading up on his wiki to see if there was anything on the subject and some weird stuff came out:
1) He was actually a college safety and converted to CB.
2) Didn't play much in his first 2 seasons
3) He recorded way more tackles and a couple of sacks early in his career
4) He is huge for a CB, 210 lbs.
He did play opposite Charles Woodson for a while. Did he learn his craft from the master?

Lucky... I haven't been to a game since around 2001, when I moved out of Denver. I'm more than willing to give him a year at the helm or even a couple if he is making progress. I just hope that Elway, Fox, and Xanders are on the same page.
As a side note do you post on BroncosCountry as Ch1ggs? Lurk there from time to time.
Bread said:
LOL not again. Its a huge deal in the sense that it has shown he hasn't changed a damn bit. He didn't want to train with Redskins instead with his personal trainer to bring him back to his Pro Bowl Titan ways but instead the he got ridiculed in the media for failing his conditioning tests. I doubt the man changed but at least you didn't give him $100 million contract.
