Broncos asking for a 2nd round pick for Kyle Orton

[YosemiteSam]

Quarterbacks:

Through 11 of his 13 starts, veteran Kyle Orton played beautifully, if mostly between the 20s. Orton, though, could not overcome the Broncos' ineffective running game and push the offense into the top 10 in scoring.
Tebow was almost the anti-Orton in his final three games: hardly pretty between the 20s, but his running ability helped him play well in the red zone and in the fourth quarter. Tebow will be the Broncos' starting quarterback in 2011. Orton is too good to play backup, so he will likely be traded. The Broncos will ask for a second-round draft pick.

Brady Quinn is a backup with starting experience.​

The funny thing is that Luck has a good chance to get drafted by Denver, especially with Elway running the show, and Harbaugh on their radar.

They'd have to trade up to #1. Good luck.

I don't understand why they'd be shopping Orton and saying Tebow's their guy if they wanted Luck.

If Tebow keeps running someone will clock him one day.

Orton for a 2nd? They might get that. Possibly a early 3rd from a bottom feeder team.

Orton is a very solid QB, not an elite guy who can carry an offense. He had a pretty good season which surprised me because I thought he would struggle without Marshall. Turns out Marshall missed Orton more. Orton had 20 TD's and 9 interceptions.

Orton is a good (not great) QB, but for some reason he has never been very appreciated. The guy put up better seasons in Denver than the supposed "franchise quarterback" Cutler did with less talent to work with.

Its why I think Chicago was robbed and why I hope wherever he goes this time he'll be given a fair shot.

In all fairness to Cutler, Orton ran a wide open pass happy offense this year that Cutler never had the chance to run.

The other thing about Tebow is he sells tickets and merchandise. It is a business at the end of the day.
