orton definitely played like crap. i think he is feeling the pressure of all the negative crap from the tebow fans.

I just don't see his potential being a winning QB for ten years with that playing style. I could be totally off base here, maybe he will prove me wrong in which case i will gladly admit it.

and where will his popularity be when he has gone 9 years without a superbowl victory like Vick,

on another note, the eagles have already had on scare about losing vick to injury this season. playing like you are invincible can leave your team in the lurch.

look at it from the broncos side, 6.5 million a year for a third stringer. if he was ready why not play him?

they obviously see something that is more important to them than just putting him in to get him snaps.
Listen, I'm not a Tim Tebow bandwagoner... never have been. I hope he does real well and I like his attitude and work ethic. That being said I was saying it would be a bad idea because of the O-line and the rest of the team. I feel as though it's setting him up for failure in a rebuilding year. that being said, I'm not affiliated with him so I don't care if he fails other than the Broncos losses and let's be honest... Orton was losing games just as easily as Tebow can. Orton is a known component. He stared his Bronco career 6-0 and since then has gone 6-25 as starter. Think about that for a moment. 6 wins to 25 losses. IMO Tebow can't do much worse and he's being paid 1st round draft pick money so let's see what he can do. I sure hope he's the next Elway but have my doubts. I don't have my doubts about Orton... I already know.
