I'm not too worried about the picks as Orton is still learning a complex playbook that McDaniels has put in place. What I am impressed about is how awesome that offense could be, with all those different formations and talent that Denver will unveil in week 1. I think that first snap is going to be very exciting and then when Orton fires the first of several INTs, it's going to all go up in smoke.

Did Kyle Orton steal your girlfriend in high school? [/QUOTE]With his penchant for neck beards? Not a chance.
It boils down to this - one of my pet peeves is watching sports teams make ignorant decisions. It doesn't matter if I'm a fan of their team or not. I'm just baffled that people could get paid a lot of money to make decisions for their teams that are clearly the wrong ones to make. And watching McDaniels run Jay Cutler out of town and turn to Kyle Orton was about as wrong a decision as possible. I'm just amazed that anyone could have considered that the right thing to do. It's so difficult to find a big-time QB in the NFL these days so when you have one, you do everything you can to nurture that relationship and make it prosper, not flush it all down the toilet the second you take over the job.
And Orton has been a very popular sleeper pick in fantasy circles this offseason and that amazes me too because he simply isn't any good. I posted on Twitter last night that it doesn't matter how good your receiving talent is, if your QB stinks you're done. That's what could happen to the Broncos this season because of a very poor decision in my opinion.
Plus, if there's any team that should understand how difficult it can be to find a great QB, it's the Broncos. Look how long they struggled after Elway retired. Now they're intentionally making the decision to regress the QB position. I just shake my head at that.
