Kyle Orton's contract extended through 2011

[Bear Pand]

So Kyle Orton is just gonna drop 2 TDs on every team he face this preseason huh?

[BroncoBlue]

He's looking very comfortable in his second year in the offense. I like the chemistry he has shown with guys like Gaffney, Royal and Branson thus far. He's looking like much more than a one-read and launch guy that we saw last year. I'm sure a lot of that has to do with Marshall not being around to demand the ball. I really like the way the offense is coming together even without our full complement of offensive lineman and absolute garbage in the backfield around Orton. It's just too bad that our secondary has looked pretty vulnerable in the first two games because I don't think we have the weapons on offense to out score people every week. The Dumervil injury may have sank any chance this team had of doing anything better than 8-8. But I am now of the opinion that it's Orton for the next 2-3 seasons, until Tim Terrific is ready to take over the reigns.

Orton will pass for 4000 + yards and lead the Broncos to the playoffs at 10-6. I'm calling it now.

I was impressed with this strangely honest, mostly objective viewpoint:

And then this happened:

No dumervile, no nolan, no marshall, not a great run game, a dink and dunk type of QB coming off a 2-8 finish to your previous season. The Broncos have fail written all over them. It's gonna be like the Lions from 07 to 08 (except to a lesser degree). Lions started 07, 6-2 and ended with a 1-7 record with a total record of 7-9 then bombed next season. Same thing will happen to the Broncos (and again, to a lesser degree, they won't go 0-16).

:dontknow: 7-9 tie for second in AFC W with Oakland? Chiefs finish 4-12. Chargers go 13-3?

You guys definitely will be surprised at how explosive Kyle Orton will be in this offense. Now don't get me wrong he's no Manning or Brady, but I definitely think he can have a similar year to 2008 Matt Cassel. Oh and rest assured you will see McDaniels unleash Orton's deep ball this year. The only thing working against Orton is a shitty backfield. You guys laugh now at the 9 mil the Broncos gave Orton, but it's going to be even funnier when in the next two years Orton plays himself into a Matt Casselish contract for 2012.

Oh and the Dumerville injury isn't as HUGE as everyone thinks... Dumerville was a pass rush specialist not overall Great player. Him being out will hurt the D but not break it. The bigger issue that will factor in to wins and losses for this team is at RB.

Orton barring injury = 4000 yard 25 TD season. Choo Choo get on the train now.

Orton's already catching up on him Awesomeness sleep:


Hell YA!!

We need an Official Orton Tracker Thread... Sticky that bitch too!

[Sigona]

Kyle Orton has spent five-million dollars of that contract to purchase a bionic arm that will allow him to pass through defenders bodies and into the hands of his receivers. True story.

You already know Ortons been downing bottles all offseason to get ready.

You mean throw dink-and-dunk screen passes to pad stats and make him look amazing, parlay it into an amazing contract, and not do shit the next year?

As long as he earns it instead of having it unnecessarily thrown his way.

Dumervil had 17 sacks last year. Even if he is a specialist, he's a hell of a specialist...

tragic

To many, the thought of Orton being “the answer at QB” must seem like a joke. In his five-year career he has hardly inspired. In Chicago he couldn’t beat Rex Grossman(notes) to be the Bears starting quarterback. When the Broncos were trying to trade disgruntled quarterback Jay Cutler(notes) and picked Orton over then Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell(notes), many in the Redskins organization soured even more on Campbell. If Denver wanted Orton over Campbell, then how bad must Campbell be?

lol

I hope Campbell sticks around in Oakland long enough to catch all these Ls Ortons about to throw at him.

Orton is a decent QB and a consistent winner.

[Warner2BruceTD]

I don't care what he stats looked like last year, Kyle Orton is awful. He struggles completing anything beyond 15 yards, and will never be the type of player who can take a team to the next level. He's easily in the bottom third of NFL starters, and would make an average backup at best. Paying that sack of shit $9M is laughable, but this is the Broncos, who fired one of the best coaches in the business, hired a man child, and drafted a gimmick player in the first round.

Let's face it, no team is going anywhere with Kyle f'n Orton behind C.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Orton is a decent QB and a consistent winner.

His 70-something lifetime QB rating makes 1970's QB's blush, and your "consistant winner" barely has a .500 record as a starter since he "led" the 2005 Bears with his super 9/13 TD/INT ratio, 50% completion percentage, and god awful 50-something QB rating, which led to him promptly losing his job to REX GROSSMAN, the same REX GROSSMAN who is buried so deep on the bench these days he may never take another meaningful NFL snap. And you could argue Grossman is a better player than Orton.

Simply put, Orton sucks.
