Cross Talk September 23rd | National Football Post
As befits a figure that polarizes opinions as much as any athlete in all of sports, the naming of Michael Vick as the starting QB with the Eagles has elicited. Because of the lifestyle the "old Vick" chose, the fact that he's never fit into a stereotypical QB category and the nature of the Federal charges that sent him to prison many are predisposed to view Vick harshly, as is their right. Also well within their rights are those that have consistently made excuses for Vick or played off any criticism with the race card, as idiotic as I may think those also are.

I’ve always admired players who are willing to step outside the box in building a name for themselves. For NFL players, it’s harder to do than for athletes in most other sports. For one, they are wearing a helmet and get little face time. Secondly, if you play in a small market and/or on a bad team, chances are that you and your team will get very few prime time games. Third, football is a team sport and most coaches, GMs and even owners frown upon any self-promotional activities.

Nope
But he’s certainly on his way. He needs to keep playing this way for a whole season and needs to carry his team to a win or two in the fourth quarter. He had the opportunity to at least tie it up at JAX, but I was actually surprised he didn’t get it done. Close doesn’t count.
Go Broncs!
It's "just" football
It takes more than two or three good games in a row
And I for one don’t think any QB is elite unless he’s at least gone with his teams to the playoffs.
…just saying
"Bombs dropping down overhead. Underground. It's instilled to want to live." -EV
So Archie Manning wasn't elite?
I think Orton has taken as many/more teams to the playoffs as Archie did… Archie Manning’s only got to a .500 record once (1979), and his career record was 35-101-3.
Wins, Losses and Playoffs come from teams… Having a good/great QB definitely helps, but perceptions of “elite” often have more to do with differences in overall team quality than they do with the individual QB.
Agree though that a few games is too small a sample size to say anything however…
To me
No he wasn’t.
But that’s just my opinion…the whole “elite” or “franchise” QB boils down to personal opinion in the end anyway.

That it does
Plus I’m just tooting a horn, as it were. If he keeps on, as consistent as he’s been thus far (including preseason and what I saw in TC), for the rest of this season, he will have placed himself in the “elite” level, in my mind.

No he won't for two reasons...
Orton’s ability to extend the play when things break down is only average for NFL quarterbacks. Orton’s pocket presence is only average, he forces his lineman to hold their blocks better and longer. Orton does not have the natural ability of Elway, for instance, at sensing the rush and knowing where to move to minimize it. Sometimes Orton does a good job with this, sometimes he does not holding the ball too long or moving in a counterproductive way with regard to the pressure. The question is not if he will develop into an elite quarterback, he won’t. The question is “is he good enough to win a Superbowl” and the answer is, yes if he can stay healthy. Unfortunately for Orton, his team is not a Superbowl team.

I would only agree so far as
He doesn’t have his full team at full health. I am of the opinion that in full health, we have teh things champions are made of.

In the NFL
it’s incredibly unusual to have your full team at full health. The best one’s find a way to overcome.

I totally disagree...Orton has very good pocket presence...and I am not sure what you guys consider ELITE but he was around Top 10 last year, Top 6 now and 8th best winning % of active QB's (Over 40 games).
He just wins games and keeps getting better. You guys are a tough crowd….SERIOUSLY tough!

Agreed
Orton is a bad-a$$. (<— period)
And to me, bad-a$$ = Elite. And vice versa.
Like Sadaraine said, the definition of an elite QB is definitely opinion driven, and I know I’m not alone in my perception. And our population will soon be growing. ( ;

No Harris and no Kuper will spell doom vs the Colts. Beadles is not going to be able to handle their pass rush. We really need these guys back.
I’m still pissed that Harris is lost due to playing the in 4th preseason game. That was a really dumb coaching decision. I very much look forward to McD getting thru his rookie mistakes.
Denver: 33-33 until we're not.
Kuper is back. Dont write Beadles off man.....they will bring some protection and lets not get carried away with the rush...its good....but not unbeatable!

It is unbeatable when your RT is not good enough.
I like Beadles just fine, but I like him as a G, not an T.
Denver: 33-33 until we're not.
were you as offended by his play in the second game?
We will give him help, just like we did in the second game. It was poor coaching in the first game to not throw help his way from the start of the game.
That's the smart thing to do
It just sucks because that is one less guy we can have doing something else. Harris can handle an end solo, but I think we can all agree Beadles will have trouble if he’s out on an island.
"Bombs dropping down overhead. Underground. It's instilled to want to live." -EV
I agree with your first statement — I don’t think Deadles will handle their straight rush. On third and long, they’ll be coming right over top him. Lots of quick passes to the edge will slow that rush down (even if it continues to fuel the media-driven misconception that Orton doesn’t “have a strong arm”).
I would argue that having Harris hurt in the fourth preseason game is not a sign of dumb coaching. Would it have been better or more justifiable to have him injured in the third preseason game — or the first regular season game? The preseason has four or five games, which McDaniels and the Broncos were using to get their offense up to speed. If these guys were all returning from ProBowl years, heck if there was even a simple majority of players from last year forming the line, I’d likley agree with you about getting them out of the 4th game. But the coach decided they needed the reps together. Yes the injury to Harris reeks, but I don’t see it as a bad coaching decision. A bad coaching decision is not trying to get the most performance out of your people by taking advantage of every training opportunity.
Would it have been better or more justifiable to have him injured in the third preseason game — or the first regular season game?
Yes… It would have been better.
Getting hurt in games you shouldn’t be playing in is the problem.
Denver: 33-33 until we're not.
He needed the reps!
Did you see how terrible Clady looked in his first action of the 4th preseason game? You really don’t want your first live reps to be in week 1 where the games really count. That’s why they say “midseason form” when things are clicking. You need continous reps to improve your skills.
That injury to Harris was a critical factor in the loss to the Jags. Beadles was probably our worst offensive player that day.
The first L and now, maybe a second L are worth the extra 8 or so reps. Penny wise, pound foolish.
Denver: 33-33 until we're not.
Get over it
Your point is reasonable as is Mcd’s for trying to give his starting OL valuable reps in preparation for the upcoming season. Hindsight is always 20/20 my friend . move on.

That’s why my dislike for the Cowboys almost rivals my hate for Oakland. They always get more attention than they are due. What have they done lately? They are as irrelevant as our Broncos in the big picture unless you want to talk about how well they choke in the playoffs.

But really, it’s always been this way. Every single year, even when they were terrible, blahblahblah about the ‘Boys, yadayadayada. I refuse to use that stupid nickname that the media’s been most fond of since it was coined in ’78. Damn you, Bob Ryan!!
The Cowboys have been one of the Darlings of the media for quite a while now, and it makes me sick every year. I have some old, old loyalties to the ‘Skins so I’m sure that has something to do with my dislike for the ’girls.

I remember Jarrett Johnson...
When he gave Orton a solid snot bubble last year when the Broncos went to Baltimore. Oh yeah, they are on the schedule too!
Time to start looking for a new RT
I love Harris… but health is a skill, and the guy can’t stay healthy.
Add a fairly high-round RT to our draft needs next year, because I wouldn’t resign Harris until he shows he can stay healthy more than 2 games in a row.
As far as McG’s complaint that he shouldn’t have been playing in the 4th preseason game… hindsight is a bitch, but given the lack of consistency/coordination shown by the oline in the preseason, I’ll forgive McD for trying to get the team ready to win a MF game in week 1. Complaining about that decision is stupid, because if Harris had stayed healthy but the oline looked lost in week 1, folks would be complaining just as hard (and justifiably) that he wasted the opportunity to get the oline ready to play in the preseason.
That isn’t hindsight, that is common sense. Minnesota didn’t play their starters in the last preseason game. Most teams don’t.
We did and it cost us dearly.
Denver: 33-33 until we're not.
Common sense to you… others would say, using a “free” game to get the offense on track is “common sense” rather than waiting until the L’s count for real.
Basically, there are good arguments either way. Just because in hindsight it turned out poorly, or that it goes against your personal views on the “right” way to coach a team, doesn’t make it “common sense.” Your argument about “most teams” doesn’t hold water because “most teams” don’t have 2 rookie oline starters and 2 vets coming back late in preseason from injury…
Personally, I don’t have strong views on the matter… in general I agree with trying to keep the starters healthy going into the season and playing them minimally in preseason as a whole (not just game 4), but can’t see very good arguments why that isn’t a universal rule.

Minnesota may not be the best example there. :)
Looks like Ol’ Favre could have used some more timing with his recievers.
I wouldn’t have played the starters in Minnesota. They had looked pretty good and felt comfortable where everyone is at. Maybe play Clady just because he hadn’t done anything yet.
However, I’d rather Harris get injured in the week before and give Beadles all week to prepare than have him get injured during the game Week 1.

I thought maybe they were assuming that since he practiced in limited form on Wednesday and then didn’t practice, that he probably gave it a go and then figured he wasn’t ready. I think McDaniels is being truthful in saying no one is ruled out (he wouldn’t be afraid to put “out” on the injury report if they were), since things can change from day to day, but I don’t think we should get our hopes up for Harris this week given the practice/no practice thing.

I saw this article over at the Colts blog, and while I don’t really care what Freeney thinks about Peter King, the article did lead me to this other article at the Colts blog, which was ripping Peter King for last year’s mock draft. It’s pretty funny really, mostly because King gets a lot of picks right, and the guy rips him the hardest for the Jackson, Monroe and Crabtree picks, all of which were correct. Who would have thought King picked Jackson to the Chiefs?

By dissolving the players union, it them makes it illegal to lock players out from their teams, as they will have INDIVIDUAL contracts that are still valid. Forces the teams to deal with each player on an individual basis.
