Vikes may need Orton

[BroncosFanAddict23]

there is no way.


the broncos won't trade orton, maybe quinn but not orton, not to say i wouldn't be all for it cuz i would. But McDaniels thinks part of the upside too this season is that orton has another year of this offense, i don't expect a trade.

Umm.

I don't think that the vikings want orton because he doesn't have the arm strength

To do what?


Everyone says that about him...I dont see him as a weak armed QB...

The Vikings would want to have a TRUE starter...Thats what Orton would give them...He doesn't turn it over...and they have a KILLER running game...Plus they added TG...Tob-and -AP is a huge 1 two punch!!!

They have a GREAT defense, and all they need is a QB that doesn't turn it over...Great ST with Harvin, Orton with that team would not skip a BEAT!

Isn't next year's QB class supposed to be pretty strong? I wonder if they could get their guy next season.

They can get Andrew Luck if they're LUCKY enough for him to fall to them. Assuming they have a good season this year.

[Amari24]

They already have Sage, who already knows the system and has at least some work with the team.

Meanwhile, we'd be left without a starting QB and someone who had never taken a regular season snap with us before. We'd be back to square one like we were last season.

It's not happening.

Brandstater looked pretty good in the preseason. If Orton was traded; Brandstater would be the guy I would want starting especially over Tebow and Quinn.

Who's to say Andrew Luck comes out his sophomore year though?

Quite honestly he looked average at best in the games I've seen from him when he rode on Gerhart the whole season.

Meh.

Well I was just pointing out a QB they could possibly get. Locker will be gone (assuming they have a winning season) and probably mallet if he comes out his JR year.

Brandstater's throwing motion is more pleasing to watch, but he reads defenses like it's a Political Science text (meaning it takes forever and he doesn't understand it), he stares down receivers, he takes forever to throw, and although the ball is a perfect spiral it's not exactly "on the money" all the time.

There's a reason he was third on the depth chart last season. There's a reason he's fourth on the depth chart this season - including being listed behind a QB that until this morning, had never touched an NFL field.

Sage is pretty garbage. At best he's a back up QB. He was trash in Houston.

Well if Sage and Jackson suck that just puts them in better contention for Jake Locker lol.

Luck is a top 10 talent assuming he doesnt decline and he may not enter and many dont question his personality like Clausen.
Mallett is like a giant Cutler to the extreme he has a great arm with horrible instincts and questionable accuracy but because he is impressive he is a top 10 guy and he also may not enter
Terrelle Pryor is the king of inconsistency so who knows where he will land if he enters


Best bet Devlin or Foles.
Foles may not enter and checks it down way to often I wouldnt trust him
Devlin is may favorite QB in the draft he is low rated but has an amazing arm with incredible accuracy and supposedly has a good head on his shoulders.

I still say give him a chance and see what he can do. If McD isn't going to use him at all then he basically just wasted a pick. I was really hoping to see him play when Orton got hurt but Chris Simms came in and costed us the game. Besides, the best QBs today like Manning had questions about reading defenses and such. Brandstater is the same size as McD's past QBs that he has coached over. Tom Brady and Matt Cassel for example. All have about the same size and are built the same. And when Brady got hurt we saw how Cassel came in and played like a pro-bowl QB. I was hoping something like that would happen when Orton got hurt.

I was never sold on Pryor anyways. I think he would make a good WR in the NFL though. With his height and his 4.3 speed he could actually be a good receiver if he works at it. OSU QBs these days don't have much to offer especially when making the college and NFL transistion.

Best not to put too much stock in this idea of Orton being traded to the Vikings... cause that would then mean we'd be counting on a Brett Favre retirement decision.... there's way too many reasons to go into why that isn't exactly a good idea.

[Nuts4koi]

Yes, cause the team morale was SOOO terrible last season. He didnt even go to TC last offseaso (as i said before) and he came out swingin' and the WHOLE Vikes team loved him. I dont think there is any animosity towards Favre. Everyone knew this was going to happen. STOP acting so shocked he wasnt going to show up.

Not shocked. I just wish he would man up and tell everyone he doesn't want to participate in TC instead of coming up with all kinds of excuses to stay away from camp. Just be honest about it.

[BarkdogRX7]

And get zip, nada, nil, zero, in return? That's not the Patriots - er, I mean the McDaniels way. Draft picks! Gotta get more draft picks...

It would be like getting the shaft but right now is his best value, I'd do it and that way Quinn can start and let Tebow learn, do it do it!
