Starting QB for 2010

It would be illogical to believe Kyle Orton doesn’t hold the knowledge and fundamentals to start in the nfl or on the Denver broncos. He has proven he has the ability to start for two total different system orientated offenses, with the Bears and the Broncos. Kyle’s selection for the Bears was a bad pick for them as his skill-set doesn’t fit their scheme, i.e., run first and let the defense keep the game close. Kyle’s Purdue offense was the direct opposite of the Bears and his future with them was doomed from the start. McDaniels during the Cutler debacle already knew the tanglibles Kyle possessed that made him successful at Purdue could be used in in own system with proficiency. That’s something the Bears failed to realize and squandered their lifes saving on ‘franchise’ type quarterback (Cutler) who they figured could make them look good in a non-quarterback favorable system.

What has Kyle done since coming to Denver? Well in his first year at really being in a system more to his liking he threw for nearly 4000 yards, TD/INT ratio is +2/1 and his rating is nearly 90. Not bad in an intirely different system and scheme he was indocrinated in for 5 years, in a quarterback unfriendly system. Not too bad and something even McDaniels seems to be pleased with, because he did say he was starting in 2010. That shows me that the HC has confidence that Kyle can run this offense and be very effective in it. First thing that has to happen is to upgrade the OLine which has been addressed in some ways already with acquistions of McChesney, Fry, Seth and Batise. There will be more players brought in from the draft, we can all agree on that. The rookie (Moreno) runningback is not a rookie anymore and he will be expected to do a lot better than he did, plus we added 3 at that position, Arrington, Ball and Hall. Building an offense around your quarterback is the best way to success, along with having a strong defense that keeps you in the game. In all honesty with reasoning, we should be better this year with a year under the system.

Does that mean that Kyle Orton is automatically handed the keys to the starter? No. Kyle will have to ultimately make that decision in his own mind, we as fans can’t make it up for him. That would be illogical thinking if we or anybody else makes an assmption that Kyle will not be our starter and our FUTURE! He has to decide that and all we can do is wait and watch. Being stupid isn’t a God given talent, it is the life long negative attitude we have formed in our minds. It can be eleviated by knowledge and understanding, by taking the logical route in life, by having patience to perceive the truth. Kyle Orton is our starter and our future as far as I know. Until I have been told differently by someone more knowledgable and smarter than I am. I refuse to be stupid!

Oh yeah, Brady Quinn . . . I forgot he was even there…

Is KO our starting QB? At the moment, yes. Does he deserve to be? At the moment, yes. Does he need to improve on last year, yes. Will he improve this year?, my crystal ball says yes. Will he be the only person on the field?, no. Will the rest of the offense improve from last season, the ouija board spelled out yes. Does that assure we will make the playoffs?, my magic eight ball says, its possible. Will BradyQ help the team?, the rune stones say yes. Will BradyQ start?, the tarot cards say no. Luckily I’m not superstitious.

but I don’t think it will play in the decision of who to start at QB or any other postion for that matter.

Also, I believe Marshall was “injured” so couldn’t or wouldn’t play whether he was benched or not.

As for Scheffler his contribution to the team on the field did not outweigh his contribution or lack thereof in the locker room IMHO.
