Football Fox: Orton is our starter

In a somewhat surprising statement at the NFL Scouting Combine, Broncos coach John Fox named his starting quarterback: Kyle Orton.

“As far as I’m concerned, he’s under contract and he’s the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos,” Fox said of Orton, according to multiple reporters passing along his comments on Twitter. “Kyle Orton is our starter.”

Fox downplayed the possibility that Orton could be traded.
That comment comes less than a week after Orton said he had barely heard from Fox and had no idea what his future held in Denver. Those comments suggested that Fox wasn’t overly enthusiastic about keeping Orton around.

But this week’s report that Tim Tebow doesn’t have much support in Denver suggests that Orton won’t be losing his job to last year’s first-round draft pick. Fox’s comments today would seem to confirm that.

Of course, it’s entirely possible that Fox will feel differently six or seven months from now (or whenever the NFL season starts) than he does at the moment. But as of right now, Fox is saying that Orton, not Tebow, is his guy.

Nor can the donky fans. Gawd I hope they trade that fugger (T.T.) out of the division.

I actually think Tebow can be a winning quarterback if given the right coaching... Thankfully they don't have a premier guy to develop him there...McCoy is ok, but I don't think hes good enough to succeed with such a large project.

Starting QBs get you more in a trade.

This.

Denver desperately wants to get more second day picks and I'm sure Orton would net us at least a 3rd and a 4th.

Wait, you tards are trying to trade Orton over "Jesus?"

Kyle Orton has never brought us back from a 17 point deficit in the second half. He (and the rest of the team) pretty much gave up if we were down by more than 10.

Tebow inspires guys to keep fighting and to keep play with the way he plays and the way he leads. Tebow is going to be a fantastic QB. He has all the tools and he has a natural feel for the game. Everything he isn't very good at can be coached and corrected through hard work.

Too bad Elway doesn't want him.

As if you would know... you didn't watch the games when they were down by 10.

They're doing this to keep potential trade value as high as it can be... and I say potential because if there is no new agreement prior to the draft, there will be no trading of Orton or anyone for draft picks in 2011.

That's bullshit. Did you see the game against the Rams when they almost came back and won? Oh wait a minute, you didn't.
