But John Elway actually threw passes that looked like NFL passes, even if they were inaccurate.  I would like you to look up how many picks Cutler has had this year.  It's not many.  You can have your Tebow.  As a Bears fan, I have seen numerous guys that can't throw a pass straight and if you want a guy like that then good for you.  I know that it's cool to dislike Orton in Denver now, but not too long ago he won 6 games in a row there, remember?

I didn't forget, but the thing is he is a boring safe player normally. After winning those six games, he also then helped the team collapse and they did not make the playoffs. Not to mention Denver fans hate him because of the most recent season in which it was Denver's worst ever. Last year I was going against Denvey anyways because I was so pissed at ex Coach Josh McDaniels for destroying the team. I do not believe Tebow is the answer for sure, but I love to see win and that is what he has done so far. The last one was ugly, but I have to say as long as he wins people will be happy and not care how ugly it is. John Elway helped pick Tebow so he deserves some blame for Tebow being here in the first place. The funny thing win almost Tebow single handedly won the against the Jets in that last drive John sat there with an expression of disbelief. Tebow shocks everyone and as long as he is in Denver I think the team is funner to watch than boring Orton.

Also I will edit in your picks into my post because I am a nice guy like that.

Sometimes I prefer safe to exciting.  I always liked the safe Orton to the risky Grossman.  I thought that the losing in Denver had more to do with the entire team than Orton.  To be honest, he put up really good numbers last year.  When he played for the Bears he also was known as a "boring" player, but with a decent team boring usually wins.  Check his win/loss record before leaving Chicago. 

About Tebow, I actually hope that one day he learns to throw the ball properly because he has a lot of guts, but that will only take you so far in the NFL.  The problem with him is if the Broncos fall a couple of touchdowns down they are done because he rarely completes passes (look at the game against the Lions).  Sure, he can run people over like a bulldozer at the end of the game when the defense is tired for one drive, but that's asking a lot of the defense to keep the game within a touchdown until the 4th.

Thank you.  You are a good man that knows who Lanny McDonald is.
