Nobody knows that. Look how many people miss on 1st round QB's every year.

He is a legit prospect. I'm sorry you don't think that, but he absolutely is.

Let me ask you this....if IYO he isn't the long term answer as a starter, what FACTS lead you to this conclusion?

Try not to say 5th in your response....no matter how hard that might be.

5th round picks aren't legit prospects.

unless his name is Brady and he's taken in the 6th round...

Play Stanzi forget Orton because HE ****ING SUCKS!!

(. Y .)

Your bar on him is set really low then, I presume.


My bar for him is set fairly high and I think he surpasses both of our expectations.

Yes and I think it applies to the whole family.

Let me see if I can list 5 reasons why I think he is a valuable asset as a backkup QB and not a starter. These are the 5 facts that I am basing my opinion off of. The 5th reason is the most important reason.

1. Not accurate on the deep ball

2. Questionable footwork

3. Inconsistent

4. Forces throws.

5th. He was a 5th round pick.. Not a franchise pick.

I like the kid, dont get me wrong. But I like him as a backup with some trade value 2-3 years down the road.

I dont see him as a long term investment by this franchise. Actually you rarely see many franchises investing heavily in a 5th round QB prospect as the QBOTF...


Did I use 5th enough?

I'll be happy if he's a solid backup but we won't know that if he doesn't get his chance.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but believing something doesn't make it true.

I mean, I think I'm an amazing guy that any pair of supermodels would be lucky to get their hands on. But ask the supermodels and they'll probably tell you something else. Or just ask "who?"

And the kicker is that neither myself nor the supermodels would be wrong, from each of our perspectives.

That's the bitch about opinion.

Broncos are smart enough to move on from Orton despite a couple of years like Cassel's 2010. I really think Pioli would like to double down on Cassel by bringing McDaniels in, but I don't think Hunt will let him do it. Cassel will be a season ticket renewal killing machine.

He played great under McDaniels who runs the same offense as us. We would be stupid not to get him. Hes easily an upgrade over Cassel.

We don't run the same offense as McDaniels. Tyler Palko is also an upgrade over Cassel, but I don't want him as my quarterback for any extended length of time.

I think you are hot keg
