Orton Waived

It would be funny if he lands back with CHI too!

Before someone even asks...

NO!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly why is this even here, fit him for a Bears helmet now...

Would be a nice fit for the Bears, but for a team with J.P. Losman as its backup heck ya I'd have some interest.

Any other players likely to be waived, perhaps on the OL?

Well no draft picks needed now. All we have to do is pay his salary.

Funny how things work out sometimes. What would we have given up to get him, in both draft picks and money? And, in all likelihood we never would've known what we had in Moore.

Nah, they're in tank mode IMO.

There may have been an incident as well. Who knows.

Perhaps Orton would have put up the exact some numbers over a 3 game stretch.

We didn't unearth a superstar here. Orton, Moore and Henne are all basically the same player. Back-up QBs who are talented enough to have really good stretches here and there

He should retire and let the HoF ballot people get to work.

Maybe not. Too early to say IMHO re; Moore. BUT...I go back to my first question? What would we have given up (in a trade) for get a guy that was eventually cut?

What?
No we want Orton chants from the fanbase? :lol:

I never advocated for Orton. Thought it was a waste of picks and money, but he has had a much better career than Moore.

We'll disagree on Moore, but it's not too early for me to say he is a nice backup/spot starter. If you are counting on him to be much more than that realize you are getting Orton/Fitzpatrick, not Brady

Too much whatever it would have been,glad we didn't set back next years draft for him.

Schmo,

I'm not proclaiming Moore as our new franchise QB, and I'm not saying you advocated for Orton either. I'm just saying I'm glad we didn't trade for Orton. That said, I think we need to give Moore a chance, which he'll most definitely get as long as we don't do something as stupid as, oh, I dunno...claim Orton and anoint him the starter. Which is exactly what I would expect from this GM. Hope I'm wrong.

On that, we agree.

If I'm not mistaken, he doesn't get paid if he doesn't get claimed. I'd certainly take him if he cleared waivers. I get the sense he's going to the Redskins however.

"oh and waived is spelled like this..WAIVED":hi5:
"yeah i know spelling police"....lol

Edit- you fixed it, NJFINSFAN1 what no fist pumps for spelling correction....lol

Joking of course...kinda. Well not really. Stitches knows it anyway :)

They are def. in tank mode, and the good folk of Denver are turning on their beloved QB....

These are are actual messages from Broncos fans to Elway:

1. @johnelway you need acting lessons, that you can do a better job at pretending to be happy your team won.

2. @johnelway i hope pat fires you and you can go back to arena football were you belong you piece of trash.

3. How does it feel @johnelway from being our hero to be almost as hated as Philip Rivers?

4. Hey @johnelway you lost 3 superbowls and your team won 2 for you when u were washed up so shut your f#$% mouth

5. mr elway pls don’t make the biggest mistake of your young front office career by letting Tim go.

6. @johnelway is pretty much an a$$…

7. JOHN ELWAY IS A MILE HIGH JACK ASS !! Tebow is awesome

8. F#$% @johnelway dude went scounting the baylor/OU game for a QB????

9. @johnelway I understand your position but your lack of support for my QB is really getting annoying.

Take a look at No. 1. <---------------- WOW.

Actually, I don't think that Martz offense is good for Orton...he simply doesn't have the arm strength or will to stick in the pocket and get the snot knocked out of him play after play....

Now, I would think that he'd help Indy out, although that O is certainly more complicated for him to learn, but if they don't it's a sure sign that they are bound and determined to win the SFL campaign...

As for Orton: Chicago, Houston and KC should all be looking at him. San Francisco may not be a bad landing spot either given that they are winning despite the fact that Alex Smith can implode at any moment. Matt Moore is just as good or bad to be honest for our purposes.

Unfortunately for them Elway is right. Tebow does suck and their team is winning in spite of him. Good for the fact that they beat the Jets thought and tried to help us Suck for Luck when that seemed possible

For what ?? To ride the pine here behind Moore, who happens to be on a once-in-a-career run ?? No need, I'd rather re-enter the SFL campaign than sign Orton and hope for something less than mediocrity....
