Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

In 2005, Orton as a rookie qb led his team to a 11-4 record.
In 2007, the Bears fired Rivera as their DC and Lovie promoted Babich as the Bears' new DC. From 2007 to 2008 the Bears' defense drop from being one of the top defenses in the league to a defense that can't stop the run and the pass.Orton started the last three game of 2007. Orton lost his first game to the Vikings but won the next two beating Farve and the Packers 35-7 and Drew Brees 33-25.
Last year Orton was the starting qb for the Bears. Orton was playing well in the first half of the season and was named offensive player of the week until he injured his ankle. Orton was supposed to be lost for 6 weeks but Lovie refused to put Orton on the injure list and Orton start playing again after missing 1 game. Orton's ankle was hurting so bad, he could not plant his foot and throw and he was not the same affective qb. However, even with his injury and a pathetic defense, Orton manages to win 9 games last year for the Bears. Orton and The Bears beat Manning and the Colts 29-13, Orton also managed to beat Mcnabb and Brees. Not bad for a "below average qb" with no athletic abilities.
