And speaking of money being an issue, the Broncos made a couple moves today. They released both Jamal Williams and Justin Bannan. Both were on the defensive line last season.
Bannan had signed a 5 year $22 million contract, with $7 million guaranteed.
Williams had signed a 3 year $16 million contract with $6 million guaranteed. I believe he was set to receive $4 million this season.
I'm not sure...but hey I like Orton and I agree with your dad-however, new coach may change things up and I do believe the coach is stating this for Orton's trade value-
Plus I love Tebow-the guy has dedication and that may win Elway over-
All I can say is PLEASE let the Broncos win more games...amen
Makes sense, I just don't want to risk playing Tebow to early as that could have possible negative consequences on his career overall.

On the record, my previous post is to be in agreement with Bosco's observation. I'm good with Orton, if I was ever critical with him it was for the particular game he played. He came here in the Cutler trade with something to prove. With 2 #1 draft choices coming to us, it was clear to me Orton was considered the "throw in" on the deal. He came in here with something to prove. He has done all the Broncos have asked of him. Considering the offensive line he has to work with, and a running game that is lacking, he played good ball.
Personally I'd be good with both on the roster. Will that happen, though? Then you have Brady Quinn in the mix, what do the Broncos do with him? Fortunately money isn't an issue with Quinn.
Thanks for the welcome.
I am not trying to come across as smarter than anyone or anything, it would just be a confusing move in my mind to get rid of Orton, and I expect Elway to be a little more conservative with personnel moves than McDaniels was.
Until he proves otherwise, Brady Quinn should stay a 3rd string QB, His play in the NFL has not impressed me thus far.

And the purge continues.
I noticed this as well, (friends with the Broncos on facebook, handy for up to the minute updates.) no suprise here, our d-line was the worst performing group on our team last year, also Dumervil is going back to the line. I would expect yet more cuts on the D-line.
Posted one minute ago on the Broncos facebook page: "The Broncos have agreed to terms with defensive lineman Kevin Vickerson on a multi-year contract."

Well you are coming across as smarter than everyone-KIDDING!
Welcome to the forum...
I agree about Tebow...we will see how things play out-but Brady? Get rid of him...he is worthless-

Hey, sometimes I can come across as pompous and I know that, so I thought I would throw a disclaimer in there.
I don't know, maybe we should keep Brady Quinn, if we let him go he might end up starting for another team, paying him to sit on the bench is doing the league a favor.

That wouldn't be so bad if Quinn started for another team right? I hear Cinci may need a quarterback soon...
If you are a fan of the Broncos you can't be that bad right?
I don't know, seems like a kinda shaky move to put all your eggs in the Tebow basket, the kind of shaky move that I can't see Elway making... if we still had Mcdaniels I could see it.
The last few years the plan has been,"If it doesn't work right away, get rid of it." I guess I was hoping for a change from those tactics with the firing of McDaniels and the Hiring of Elway.
I mean if Elway was given the same level of chances that our players are being given today, he would have never won a super bowl.
I was originally all for keeping Tebow on the bench for 2010 and probably even 2011, but I think he showed enough down the stretch to take our chance with him.

I completely agree that Tebow is NFL caliber, but I would prefer not to take any chances when it is feasible to take the basic guarantee with him learning under Orton.
Who knows his aptitude for come backs might rub off on Orton lol.
