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.
