John Fox can suck my balls...

[EmpireWF]

The only man in that organization who believed Tebow could be a starter was fired.

You had to know Fox and the other folks would prefer Orton.

Announcing it in February is strange as fuck though, I'll give you that.

Give us :orton: for a 4th and Rusty "Rifle" Smith. I'll even do the modifications for his smiley.

[Bear Pand]

Get Orton out of Denver, don't want him babysitting Tebow holding his hand until he's ready.

How is Orton supposed to unleash his fury on the league if he's constantly looking over his shoulder?

[EmpireWF]

Even if McD didn't start him, he invested a #1 in the guy.

From what I read, I don't think the Broncos are going to trust Tebow. They know what they have in Orton and think he gives them the best shot to win right now.

I was looking forward to this thread ever since I heard the news.

Obviously the Broncos aren't going to go out and say Tim Tebow is our guy, and show their hand to the world. If they did that, Orton's trade value would plummet. If teams believe the Broncos are willing to start Orton next year instead of trading him, they'll be forced to bump up their trade offer.

Whenever the new CBA is reached I'm still convinced Kyle Orton will be sayonara.

It's a great time to be a Green Bay Packer fan. No real QB worries.

SMH in amazement going from Brett to Rodgers.

Good Luck Glenn and the rest of the Bronco Fans.

[G-men]

Jesus smites Jon Fox

[packersfan4eva]

Starting Tim Tebow would either be A. a smart move by the NFL (if he turns out to be good), or B. not much of a difference (if he sucks).

It's a win-or-no-lose situation. Just fucking start him.

John Fox sucks balls? Sounds like he fits perfect for denver

How did you figure all of that out by yourself? What a great move by Denver, there is no way anybody in the NFL is going to know that the Broncos are trying to increase Orton's value with this move. Only a genius like GoblinSlayer would be able to figure out something this creative.

You're a fucking idiot. You think the rest of the league is sitting there, "Oh wow Kyle Orton is a starter now we better offer a lot for him"? No, they are sitting there saying the exact same thing you and everyone else is saying, "LOL at Denver thinking teams are going to offer more for Orton just because they are saying he is the starter."

Denver is going to take whatever they can get for Orton, and it isn't going to be much.

[bucky]

Denver is going to take whatever they can get for Orton, and it isn't going to be much.

And in a couple of years, there going to take whatever they can get for Tebow.:smug2:

As crazy as it sounds...

I wonder if John Elway subconsciously worries about Tebow becoming another Broncos' QB legend and is doing everything he can to throw him under the bus before that happens.

Maybe I'm insane (ok, not maybe) ... but there's something awfully fishy about this. I can understand Fox naming Orton his #1 QB in February if Orton were a proven QB with many years in Denver, but he's not.

I have zero issue with Orton being #1 on the depth chart, he's the veteran. But Orton does not have the seniority or accomplishments to be a lock in February. Like most players, he has to earn his job.

This is just strange.

If I were the Buffalo Bills, I'd immediately call Denver and offer the 2nd and 6th round picks to Elway for Tim Tebow.

OK, Tebow doesn't have the typical NFL skillset at QB, but the guy has something special ... sorry, hate to say it, but the "it" factor. And he won't be a character question the way Cam Newton might be (sorry, but saying you want to be an entertainment icon makes me wonder). I know Rayman, I'm a fucking racist, I burn black guys on a cross in my backyard.

But if I'm investing heavily in a quarterback, I want impeccable character traits.

The Bills are my AFC team and I truly wanted them to take Newton ... then I heard about that interview and immediately changed my mind. The Bills should immediately call Denver.
