The case for Kyle Orton as an upgrade - The Orange Mane

Pony Boy · 05-11-2009, 02:52 PM

Warning this thread is about the Broncos. This is an interesting article and brings up some valid points, some my find it a good read and some may not. I know someone will say "nothing here that hasn't been said before, so if that's the case just sit back and let your pups suck and read about sausages and favorite rock bands.

No, not going to the negative side yet! I'm on the bandwagon with all the new changes, unless McDaniels trades Hillis. If that happens I will move to the dark side.

beautiful article...

telluride · 05-11-2009, 03:21 PM

I too think that Orton will do quite well here.

Now, on to something more important. Who teaches these people to write? This is a lede?

"There is now an unmistakable intertwinement lashing the New England Patriots to the Denver Broncos."

Poorly written article, but some good material.

Pure fluff.

telluride · 05-11-2009, 03:24 PM

The second sentence is even worse!

"When the second-biggest name in Broncos history walked away from the sidelines after an abysmal home stretch that saw the franchise drown in the wake of a possible playoff birth, Pat Bowlen turned to the Patriots and happily plucked their freshest face."

Huh?

telluride · 05-11-2009, 03:25 PM

"The rest of the rope comes from seemingly parallel circumstances that, on the surface, appeared damning to the future success of each program. "

What?

telluride · 05-11-2009, 03:25 PM

"But for the Broncos, the saga was more grueling, more excruciating, and so scintillatingly drawn out. Watching McDaniels and Jay Cutler slowly dig the trench between them was a tedious task."

Ack.

(This is fun.)

Didn't know Chicago had a "vertical" offense. Whatever...

Popps · 05-11-2009, 03:34 PM

This is a quarterback who put up 31 touchdowns against only five interceptions in a collegiate offense that more closely resembles what McDaniels will do than any other offense in the league.

Hey, no fair quoting sentences that actually make sense! But I'll cover for you:

"There is a back to each end zone that provides more intelligent quarterbacks with a safe haven for the ball when the receivers are hidden behind defenders."

Um.... the correct word here would be "berth"; not "birth"....

Laying an unfertilized egg would still result in no "birth".... it would have to be fertilized and then hatch...

They don't. Turner runs version of WCO

“It’s all West Coast offense, so it’s really similar to what I’m already used to [from playing with the Broncos]. The way it’s phrased is different. What we called stuff in Denver might be a little different here. But the way you spit it out is the same.” - Cutler

No matter how you phrase it, a red zone pick is still a red zone pick....

Surely you're not suggesting that Jay Cutler was the only player on our roster who underachieved during the month of December when a single win would have clinched a playoff berth? My own take is that there were at least 10 defensive players who should be placed ahead of Cutler in the culpability-for-the-collapse line.

Furthermore, I'd also challenge the assertion that Cutler was the "second-biggest name in Broncos history".... I think I'd place TD, Shannon, Rod, Steve Atwater, Randy Gradishar, and Floyd Little (just to name a few off the top of my head) above him. While Jay had the potential to maybe develop to where he might have justified that characterization, it simply didn't happen and the characterization therefore is bogus. IMHO.
