Re: NFL News/Discussion 2009

Last I checked this year, Orton has a 86.8 QB rating in Denver. Cutler last year had an 86.0 rating with the exact same players. Last year Denver was 8-8 under Cutler. This year they are 8-8. So... despite trading away their star quarterback, jettisoning their two-time Super Bowl winning coach in f...
