Orton of to a sizzling start in Bronco Land!
With 3 interceptions in the first half. Ugh. Being a Broncos fan feels like... being a Raiders fan.

Preseason discussion thread.
Kyle Orton sucking is not news and doesn't need its own thread.

You are the worst Broncos fan I have ever heard from. Perhaps you should switch teams and make everyone happier.

Give it time. New offense.
He's not great, but he won't have many 3 interception games.

Considering that Jay Cutler gets a new ******* thread every time he does anything remotely questionable, I find this thread highly worthwhile.
Hah @ KO.

Why do we have a new thread every time a Broncos player/coach does anything? Use the preseason discussion thread, or, wait for it, your own message board.

I wasnt aware the preseason was a complete indicator of your regular season success.

Very happy to play the Bronco's week 1.
Two scenarios
1. We beat them and alright! We have a win!
2. We lose to them and well, I know already this is going to be another 'sit back and hope we actually win this week' kind of year.

He's not this bad. He's a very good backup QB and a below average starter. Nothing less and nothing more.

Sub-par QB has a bad first game in a new system, doesn't deserve it's own thread. An honest person can't really have too high of expectations for Orton, hopefully he can limit his turnovers come regular season.

hopefully everyone understand these are just the first preseason games. There is a lot to be worked out still. by the 3rd preason game 60% of the teams will likely look like completely different teams when they're on the field. And even more so in week 1 of the regular season when the starter's play 4 quarters (for better or worse).

This is worrisome but at the same time it's probably hard to just come right in and play in a new offense out of nowhere. Chris Simms played very well, too. Might be a bit of a battle. If Orton starts (which I think he ultimately will), I expect something around 3,200 yards (58%), 20 TD, 14 INT.

Keep in mind that Simms ran a much simpler playbook than Orton tonight, and against the second string defense. There is no QB controversy or battle yet. Orton has been much better than Simms in training camp and has a few more chances up his sleeve.
