Orton1735 has a better ring to it! It is the new QB after all (Assuming he beats out the other QB's...)

Let me get this straight. You're arguing that Elway is the only QB in history that can win a Super Bowl on his own. And then you suggest that QBs can only make the Super Bowl if they're surrounded with all-world talent. And then you suggest that Orton can lead this team to the top as long as the defense gets to AVERAGE (forget about the "all-world" argument). And then you suggest that Cutler is elite. And then you suggest that it's not a big deal to lose him. Don't think I'm not paying attention to the massive inconsistencies in your homeristic arguments. Quote:
That is suggesting that Orton can lead a team as effectively as Manning and Warner. And that makes you, once again, uber-idiot. |

I agree with you. Kyle Orton is a corporeal being on this plane of existence.
But he sucks at football.

I would like to help. But like expecting a drunk person to make a rational decision or an invalid to care for himself. I'll just pat you on the head and ask if there's school tomorrow?

Elway was an "under guard" loser until he was attacked by brain bugs which entered his cranium via the ear canal one night while he was in a drunken stupor. They attached themselves to his optic nerve and the parietal lobe - that section of his noodle responsible for movement, orientation, and the perception of stimuli. Fortunately for him, the parasites allowed him to function more effectively on the football field. Of course, had the NFL known about brain bugs at the time, they would have been declared illegal and, therefore, Elway would have been disqualified to play and any SB victories (as well as any other wins credited to him throughout his career) held to be null and void by the league. He benefited from a freak accident of nature. Nothing more.

I don't think Denver has the worst QB situation. Personally, I don't think Orton is THAT bad, but at the same time, he's no world beater. The defense still sucks in Denver and that should be their sieve (again). I think the Donks finish 5-11...at best.
As for Kansas City, I think our QB situation isn't too bad. We have a new QB who did really well with a slew of weapons around him in New England. The kicker is seeing if Cassel can make chicken salad out of chicken shit here in KC. Our backup is a quarterback that can at least keep the offense moving up the field. Could be worse.... |

Many, many players throughout the years who were great college players didn't live up to the hype once they got to the pros. Therefore, I think it is a little premature to be making predictions on a guy who has never taken a single snap in the NFL. Another possible scenario is that Moreno will struggle his first year due to teams not respecting Orton and just stacking the box.

I see an Elway debate sprang up here.
I think it's hard to compare great quarterbacks, really. So much had to do with the team around them, the type of league it was at the time, the things that QB could do that were unique to the NFL at that time, etc.,. I mean, Dan Marino was a great QB, but never won a ring. I think it's easier to talk about groups of QBs. The top group, IMO, would have in it: Marino, Montana, Elway, Brady, Peyton Manning, Unitas, Tittle, possibly Aikman and Favre (as much as I detest him) or even Bradshaw (say what you want about him, the guy knew how to win and was tough as nails). The second-tier would be guys like Warren Moon, Steve Young, Dan Fouts, maybe Stabler and Plunkett, Jim Kelly, guys like that. A tough guy to place, right now, is Roethlisberger. He doesn't always do it pretty, sometimes resembling Favre, but he manages to get it done and has won the SB twice now. Depending upon how the rest of his career goes will tell whether he's top tier or second-tier. When it comes to the top-tier guys, I think any of them in their prime make a great case for "best ever". The ones who don't have the obvious natural talent, seem to have the intangibles of leadership and decision-making and level-headedness (i.e. comparing, say, a Marino or Elway to a Brady or Montana). As for Orton, Cassel, and Cutler... let's wait a bit before we decide to carve any busts for Canton. As for where the Broncos rank in QB grouping, I think it's too low. I despise them, but their QB grouping isn't worst in the league. |

Denver sucks. Their front office ****ed them for years to come. Their offense will be shittier than their defense if that's even possible, End of argument.
Thread over. |
