That's not quite right. The Bears didn't release him. They traded him for a QB that went to the pro bowl the year before the deal was made. and that was almost 3 years ago.
And the Broncos were dumb to release him. The only reason they did was because he asked them to so he could go somewhere and play. The Broncos gave into the fans and started playing Tevow and now that they are winning (regardless of how bad Tebow is playing) they are stuck. They knew Orton was going to be a free agent at the end of the year and my guess is they are going to try to get a "franchise QB" in the next draft.
I don't think Orton is all that great, either, but I think he is slightly better than Cassel (better passer, not as skittish in the pocket) and he is far better than Palko.
He may not be our future but he can be a quality starting QB on the right team and he definitely gives us the best chance to win right now.
