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.

Why so defensive? Oh wait it's DJ the know it all who gets his beef curtains in a knot whenever someone disagrees with his bullshit opinions.

Elway has openly stated that Tebow isn't the guy so if Orton was worth a **** he'd still be the starter on the team.

A guy who doesn't even know the playbook with 5 weeks left is going to coming in here and really help out Baldwin?

We should do everything in our power to acquire an average at best QB so we don't have to risk drafting one in the first round. It makes perfect sense.
