My post was just a crack at Kilmoll who painted Orton as Denver's messiah 5 games into the season... He said "Orton is a winner." The rest of his post was random ad hominem attacks and had pretty much nothing to do with Orton. Far cry from painting him as a messiah. And sorry for the defe...

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...
