He was with the Chicago Bears for four years before being traded to Denver two years ago, and he had a winning record there. Sounds like you really don't know much about the Broncos, or perhaps even football in general. Orton has proven plenty in his two years here, but no quarterback can win on a team with a crappy defense, especially when it's ranked last in the league. I'm a Tebow fan and hope he earns the starting position, but the main thing is whoever starts will be who the coaches believe will give the team the best chance at winning. That's their call, not ours. Kyle Orton hasn’t been with the team six years, Carmen.

Tebow can run, throw out of the pocket, get to the edge, plow through defenders, play action fake, throw a 40 yd pass and hit his recievers in stride, plus most importantly is his ability to score in the red zone. There is only upside to this kid please start him now and let him learn from experience. From what i have seen of him i'am impressed and now i just want to see more. What kind of numbers he can have in a 18 game season 1000 yds rushing over 3000 yds passing, that sounds very likely considering if he would of played every game he probably would of hit the 1000 yd rush mark.

He didn't prove much then either. I'm not saying he is a bad QB... just not a great one. It's like David Garrard in Jacksonville... in all of his time with the team he has had one - maybe 2 - good seasons and nothing otherwise. Does Denver feel like waiting around to see if Orton can have a great season any time soon?? I'm sure some are fine with it... but many, many others are not!
