Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels has named Kyle Orton his starting quarterback. Orton had been competing with Chris Simms for the job throughout the off-season. Orton, who was acquired from the Chicago Bears on April 3 as part of the Jay Cutler trade, was named the starter with two days remaining in the Broncos' off-season minicamp training program.

Nothing surprising here.

As a matter of fact. Id be willing to pick this guy up in my fantasy.

Look at his line and wide out arsenal.

Granted he had the Bears D. But he took the Bears to the SB for crying out loud.

We could have serious problems with this guy pulling the trigger.

I don't know if this is sarcasm or a genuine question but I'll bite. Rex took the bears to the Superbowl that year then lost his starting job to Orton the following year after his miserable performance decline.

Edit: Kyle Orton proved to be the lesser of 2 evils but he has not even (nor will he ever) come close to flashing the potential that Jay Cutler had. All in all the team(s) that made out in this deal were:

A) The Bears
B) The rest of the AFC West

The losers...well...I doubt I have to point out who drew the short straw in this situation

No it wasnt sarcasm. You're right about Grossman starting.

But I do think Orton is the better QB because he manages the game.

I never implied that he was a Jay Cutler tho.
