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.

There is nothing wrong with Moreno's speed, he'll have a GREAT year 2
ZBS parts the red sea, you can drive a bus threw those holes, PBS doesn't provide that. Then you're comparing a speed back to a power back, once again, there is no comparison. I don't think he is a slow healer. How can you really heal when you're the primary back? You can't. All you can do is fight through the injury. Now Moreno does have some things that he needs to work on, nobody is saying that he's a perfect back, but the way y'all bash for no logical reason, is crazy.
moreno is NOT a power back! beanie wells is a power back, shonne greene is a powerback, toby gerhart is a powerback!!! moreno is 5 foot 11(i think) and i've seen him listed under 210 pounds.
I just edited in a scouting report that confirms everything I said.
Also, Lomax never posted a scouting report...he posted a bleacherreport.com article which vaguely referenced a Scout.com article which was not given
See, that's much better. I just like seeing constructive back and forth on this stuff because the boards and the rest of us benefit. Thank you for the update.
There ya go, that is a true statement. And I would think most posters on here agree with the fact that he is a bit inconsistent. But was really referring to the fact that you are jumping around and not backing up your statements with any sort of facts or reports. Everytime something is presented to refute your statement you move to another argument -- Noodle Arm? (Scouting reports refute that), so you move to Footwork, etc, etc.
For example, you mention scouting reports that point to weaknesses in Orton's game but Lomax produces scouting reports that contradict your points (not his opinions, but scouting reports). When stuff like this happens it just makes you appear as a hater, without any substantive argument other than "I just dont like him".
Ouch Lomax. Take it easy - point out facts and inconsistencies in the poster's posts on a regular basis is just painful to watch. Awkward. . . What the heck are you trying to do anyway bringing common sense to these boards. . . shame on you!
You just said that NFL scouts would agree that Orton can't throw deep. Now you're saying the issue isn't his arm strength, but rather his footwork? Can you provide a scouting report that says this? Or are you a pro scout?
If there is an issue with Orton's footwork, that can be corrected. Yet almost unanimously, the people who complain about Orton say that he lacks talent, not technique.

He does lack talent. A large part of his struggles come from his inability to locate receivers down the field and accurately/consistently hit them down range.
Lou Pasquerelli on Orton:
Played in a quarterback-friendly offense, often works out from the shotgun, and lacks top-shelf arm strength. Has an elongated throwing motion, and throws sidearm way too often, so his basic mechanics will need to be restructured. Footwork is awkward and, when forced to work from under center, is clearly uncomfortable. Too impatient in the pocket and will yank the ball down, try to ad-lib, especially when his top option isn't available to him. Watch him on tape and he looks too programmed. Benched at one point in 2004, after slumping badly, following a 5-0 start. Seemed to lose confidence.
Common misconception made by the average fan. Arm "strength" is almost never the issue when dealing with NFL QB's, its accuracy which is usually dependent on a QB's footwork.

Any NFL scout would tell you the same thing. Orton's down field play making ability is severely limited.
Where are all these scouts that say this?
Orton’s scouting report from Scouts Inc., the service ESPN uses, says the following: “He has a strong arm and can make all the throws.”
Pro Football Weekly says, “Can zip the ball with velocity, make back-shoulder throws and shows good overall accuracy when his feet are set and he steps into his throws.”
What the heck are you trying to do anyway bringing common sense to these boards. . . shame on you!
