If he were on the open market, I wouldn't be opposed to it. Ask yourself this, why is it that they are getting rid of Orton if he's that good? I know you can't go the Tebow route because there was much speculation that they were drafting a QB this past draft. You honestly think Elway believes Tebow is their QB of the future? If he thought that Orton was the man, don't you think he'd keep him?

The pre-draft speculation of them taking a QB was nonsense. I do think it's very possible they are convinced Tebow is their guy. Why is that hard to believe? If they thought otherwise why would they shop Orton?
