He actually took the job from Grossman before a mediocre start and an injury gave it back to Grossman.
And no, he didn't get beat out by Tebow either; that was based on draft status and 'politics' (much as Cassel being the starter was, or Tyson Jackson, or any number of other examples in the NFL).
Orton is actually a pretty accurate, pretty willing downfield passer. Look what he did for the development of Brandon Lloyd.
Orton's a competent NFL quarterback. He's not great, but he's competent. That's enough to help the progression of a rookie WR a great deal.
You're not really this thick are you? Do you truly believe that only Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers would help develop Baldwin? Kyle Orton had a 2-1 TD/INT ratio and threw for about 3,700 yds/season w/ a completion% over 60% and a passer rating of 87 in his 2 seasons as a Broncos starter. That's definitely an adquate NFL quarterback and it can go a long way in the development of a raw rookie wideout like Baldwin.
Oh wait, I'm talking to Billay here. Yeah, you're just stupid enough to believe the shit you're shoveling. Nevermind.
