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.

My "commentary" is simply facts. Which is what scouting is notoriously devoid of. These are the same scouts who thought our buddy JaMarcus should be #1 overall and that Brady had a "weak arm". NFL scouting is a running joke.
If you actually look at the Florida play book, you'll find there are NUMEROUS reads of all parts of the defense. Your posts make me think you know nada about football, or at least about how the Florida O worked.
And none of them are reading coverages. You say that like you have access to the Florida playbook and can actually decipher what it all means.
No he didn't. Not only did he have a lower QB rating, Orton FAILED TO SCORE POINTS. If you look in the rulebook, you'll find that it's hard to win if you don't score. And scoring is where Orton sucks.
And you just ignored everything else I said.
And you, once again, neglected to mention the team.
I'm not letting you get away with that. I'm calling you on that every time.

So you've never had a player you liked before the draft not pan out? Scouting is a calculated risk, it's not going to be 100% all the time. And you still haven't stated any facts, just opinions you claim to be facts
But in spread offenses, quarterbacks almost "are puppets on the field," Jaworski says. They are not required to read defensive coverage or change plays on offense.

If you want to represent you posts as facts, then you provide some legitimate
documentation and represent it honestly. To date, you have not done that.
And Brady does not have an especially strong arm. Manning and Orton both have
stronger arms, and Plummer's was just as strong.
And the whole league had a high opinion of Russell back then. If you disagreed,
then let's see a time-stamped post of yours saying so. If you can't, then you
have no basis to say anything about it.

Stats are a MUCH better predictor of NFL success than scouting. Scouting is not a calculated risk - it's a proven failure.

Stats are a terrible indicator of how good a player will be in the NFL. Jamarcus Russell had good stats in college, he isn't a good QB. Matt Cassell had no stats in college, but he's an average starting QB right now

QBs who had good stats in college:
Steve Spurrier (Heisman Trophy winner)
JaMarcus Russell
Alex Smith

This is nonsensical - Orton is failing horribly to score in this offense, which I noticed is the one stat you DIDN'T post despite being in the end almost the only thing that mattered. So let's look at that. In 2006 (Brady's worst year in this O) the Pats average 24.1 points of offense per game, 7th in the league.
With Cassel in 2008, they averaged 25.6, good for 8th in the league. In 2009, Orton managed 20.5, good for 20th in the league. Stands out like a sore thumb, doesn't it?
Orton is in fact the worst this offense has ever been run. Remember, this is the best offensive scheme the NFL has ever seen - the offense that put up something like 37 points per game in 2007. The problem is simply that Orton can't get the job done.
So now its about the points thats not what you said again you are backtracking and changing the subject
YOU SAID
Originally posted by The Big D
last year was the absolute worst McD has ever seen his offense run. Even Cassel, who last started at QB in high school, ran it better.
In 2006(Brady) The Pats had 20 rushing tds
In 2008(Cassell) The Pats had 21 rushing tds
In 2009(Orton) The Broncos had 9 rushing tds
Again you backtrack and and try and change the subject after being owned and you just get further owned.
You are proving time and time again that the majority of stuff you post is ridiculous and is only intended to flame and disrupt threads .
Ill be waiting for your response In which Im sure will now involve you changing the subject to something else .
"(Touchdowns) are the goal," Orton said. "You can run for as many yards as you want, throw for as many yards as you want, but you have to convert to seven points. I think we're going to be explosive, be dynamic, be versatile."
"Perception is everything in this league, and a lot of times, unless you're a self-promoter, it can become negative," - Kyle Orton
