You’re welcome BFE, nice compliment, I’ll take it, LOL. I would tend to agree a low score is the best way to beat the Ravens, scoring mega points against them is not really realistic, however holding them to 13 will be quite a challenge, they got the run with Rice and now Flacco put together the pass at the end of the Pittsburgh game with the likes of Boldin and Houshmanzadeh, our D will be busy.

Randy Moss traded to the Vikings for a 3rd round pick next year.

Baylin…Thanks man,I’ve been trying to get another persons view on this Orton/Tebow thing,been bashed a few times,but Finally a man of knowledge has explained his point of view,that’s all I wanted.
Pretty much the same thing I was thinking,McD dosen’t know what he’s going to do when he gets up in the mornings,he can’t tell us because he dosen’t know himself.I think he’s just making it up as he goes.LOL

BTW…I think we beat the Ravens 16-13.

Who knows what’s in McD’s mind.

I don’t think he knows either.

Point at hand, he first traded for Brady Quinn only to then trade down (and finally up) multiple times in the draft strictly to get Tebow. So Quinn was immediately no longer the answer. Ok Quinn might of very well been a back up plan if he couldn’t draft Tebow, and if so it was very stupid, because we lost Hillis in the process and Quinn is someone I said all along should not be using up a roster spot.

Anyhow, I don’t put it past him to change his long term plan with Orton over Tebow on the fly as it goes. So I’m not so sure, like TRB is, that Tebow will ultimately be the grand scheme of things that McD has planned for him. Wouldn’t be surprised at all that if Orton keeps playing well, the O line improves and we get a running game going, McD sticks with Orton, gives him a long term contract and finds another position to use Tebow. Of course that would make McD look like a fool, but that certainly hasn’t stopped him in the past, and Orton is a guy that he brought in when basically everyone then was saying what a foolish move to get rid of Cutler only to bring in Orton, so in that sense he would save face, but doing all that trading for Tebow in the draft would look awfully silly.

That being said no doubt that in a perfect world Tebow is McD’s grand scheme, but the 9 mil given to Orton for 2011 shows me that McD was not so conviced when they extended Orton’s contract with all that money that Tebow was such a shoe in for his grand scheme anymore as he was when he drafted him. Very well could be because of the belief McD had that he could change Tebow’s delivery, and by all accounts it hasn’t been the case, who knows.

Regardless, it’s just one of the many connundrum that McD seems to love to place himself smack in the middle of. We don’t know what will happen with Orton and Tebow and I’m pretty sure at this point McD doesn’t know anymore either. He’ll let it run its course and either way he goes he’ll end up with a guy he really wanted long term that he brought here himself, kind of a no loss situation for him. Maybe everyone in the media and football circles will turn out right after all, Tebow may never be NFL QB material, that’s a possibility however far fetch it may seem. I haven’t seen any confidence towards Tebow from McD at all so far this season, if Tebow was that much of a shoe in for the grand scheme of things why would McD be demoting him to third string as the world turns, it would make no sense whatsoever in my mind, just saying.

Plus TRB will tell you himself, his track record on personel with McD is kind of, well, not very good to put it nicely, LOL, so if he says Orton will be traded and Tebow will be the man, you can pretty much expect the exact opposite…

Well I’m mostly thinking about what McD will do with Orton,extend his contract or trade him,I don’t have a problem with Orton,I love the way he is stepping up.As long as he’s playing the way he is,he’s the starter in my book.I’m just wondering what the grand scheme of it all is,that’s all.You know McD is planning something,but we don’t know what yet.I guess we just ride out this season,hope we win our division and make the playoffs,and worry about Orton and Tebow next year.

BTW…Quinn is just taking up roster space,I say cut him now,there’s gotta be a QB walking around somewhere that has more skill than him.

I enjoyed watching this game because of the score swing! I admit I had this down as a loss for or Broncos! Well we got a win vs. a foe we were underdogs by 7!! It was exciting and I enjoyed it. But our running game needs a lot of work! We are close Broncos Country. I think we get better as the season go’s on!! Keep on rolling Broncos!!

Some of y’all are a tough bunch. What’s my guy Orton gotta do to prove he’s worthy? Win MVP?
Look, with our 3 QBs, we know what we have with Quinn. Unfortunately. So for the sake of argument let’s talk Tebow vs. Orton.
The incumbent is producing. Tebow changes depth chart positions. Aghhhhhh nevermind, it’s an exercise in futility. Cause if McD has already made up his mind, well hasta la Orton.
Tho last I remember Tebow was fumbling the snap. Seems like a no brainer, eh McD?!?
I will say this, I’m sure as sugar enjoying this ride watching Ortin play. Let’s protect him with a little more passion. And for the love of football, get the run game going.
Who knows, if those happen, then we can really enjoy the Orton Show. On his way to MVP. Haha, crazier things have happened!!!

Get Healthy, GO BRONCOS 2K10!!
