Just curious to hear what you guys think? The Broncos have lost I believe 8 straight road games, and just can't seem to win football games this year. They're sticking with Orton, but all you hear from the fans and announcers about them is when will Tebow get to play? I think it's about time to put him in. If they lose their next game, he should play, but what do you guys think?

Winning or losing shouldn't fall on Orton. This is football. This is a team sport. Orton may have thrown 3 picks but he also threw 3 TDs in the game. The Packers scored 49 points... 49 POINTS!! To put the blame on Orton is ignorant.

THe small group of Broncos fans, and other people, LIKE YOU, need to go onto cbssports.com and look at the Broncos depth chart. Tebow is not the 2nd string QB. He is their 3rd string QB. The sooner people do this the sooner we can shut up about it.

And by your theory he could have a QB rating over 100 his next start but if they lose he's to blame and he loses his starting job. Thats ridiculous.

The way I see it, just give the kid a chance and see what he's going to do. The Bronocos aren't going to be contending this year anyway so whats the big deal. Either he ends up playing well which is a good thing for the Broncos, or he plays like shit and then all the people calling for Tebow to be playing shut up.

Lol, that's what I was going to say.
He get's his chance after Brady Quinn gets his.

People need to remember this management and coaching staff didn't bring him in, they have no obligation to play the kid.

Exactly. They saw him play in college, they saw him play like a game or 2 last year, and they saw him in preseason. It's obvious John Fox wants nothing to do with him, so I think if anyone had any interest they'd have offered something by now.

Tebow has 3 good starts last year and then coming into this season he was supposed to be starting QB and we were on the verge of trading Orton. Now all of a sudden he's garbage? Things don't add up. It's not like he was drinkin syrup and eating KFC to his heart's content.

A good coach uses the weapons he has available. There is no denying that when the play breaks down, Tebow extends it. He has shown that he can do it at the NFL level, I don't see why you can't give him some plays.

Small group of Broncos fans? Watch the home games, you can clearly here the chanting. We're losing anyway so we might as well see what happens.

Cowboys are losing too. Should they bench Tony Romo?

Obviously the answer is no. My point is the blame should fall elsewhere on the Broncos. They have other holes to fix than QB. Orton actually hasn't played that bad this year. Maybe fix the D-Line instead of using Kyle Orton as a scapegoat.

Do the Cowboys have two, young, quality guys? No.
I'd like to see what Quinn has got. He was also a high draft pick, if he can amount to his potential, they may have a hidden, hidden, gem in him at this point. He was a high draft pick for a reason. He just need his confidence.

If Brady Quinn's a hidden gem, he's been beating Osama at hide-n-seek pre-2011.

Alot of people thought he was just the most NFL ready due to Charlie Weis coaching him in college.

Quinn is a bum, and is a career NFL backup.

As for Tebow, dude should be a TE. The reason why Bronco fans want him in isn't because hes a great QB.. its because he has a lovable attitude and the perfect guy you'd want your daughter to date. Tebow isn't an NFL QB. Its obvious now, was obvious during the draft... McDaniels fell inlove with his attitude and work ethic.

Tim Tebow is great and is going to be a great QB in this league.

People who say he sucks and that he doesnt belong in the NFL are haters and atheists, plain and simple.




Jk, this Tim Tebow shit is getting really old...

Bet Belichick would trade a 6th or 7th for him

BC, you're basing Quinn off pre-season, when he's playing with scrubs? Sure, he's against scrubs too, but playing with them is very hard. He's been on the bench learning for years now, and it's possible he's ready now. I'm not saying it's true, but it's possible. I want to see what he can do.

No, I'm basing it off him playing poorly in NFL regular season games. He has yet to sit behind a QB worth learning from.
