The Not-So-Mighty Quinnby

Well I was sitting here listening to the Broncos vs Lions game, and I says if this Quinn manages to win the game in this final two minute drill, then he’s the “Mighty Quinn.” If he don’t, then he’s “The Not-So-Mighty Quinnby.”

Brady Quinn Broncos

Lackluster, and our scrubs playing “defense” out there couldn’t stop a go-kart. All eleven of them couldn’t stop a kid’s go-kart. A run for 15, a pass for 10, can I have 8 plays and a touchdown for 100 Alex? Or should I say Wink?

In the first quarter Saturday night, Kyle Orton produced a quarterback rating that wouldn’t qualify for the Huey, Louie and Dewey Decimal System.

Well isn’t that cute, look at Numby ranking on our offense. That’s right, Kyle Orton IS our offense. He is one half of our offense, the other half is Jabar Gaffney. Anyone dissing Orton is an idiot, anyone rolling their eyes at having Kyle Orton as the starting Broncos quarterback doesn’t know anything. He is our offense out there. Thank God for it, can you imagine having the Not-So-Mighty Quinnby, or Timmy Teebs out there who don’t have a firm grasp of the playbook–where people should line up–knowing what routes to run–imagine having them as your field general with 16 inactive players? Good luck. Other than that, we can’t run, we can’t seem run block and our pass protection breaks down every other play. If that Baptiste and Polumbus are anchoring our offensive line early this season–good luck. We’re screwed. 16 inactive players, this is getting ridiculous. And I don’t care if some come back by game 1, they’re out of shape not getting playing time in the preseason. I’ll reserve more judgment until I see this game today on NFL Network (1pm EST) instead of hearing it, but it didn’t sound good for the most part.

I’d have that Alphonso Smith, that Paul Duncan and that Worrell Williams, I’d have them run ten laps at the end of the next practice while the rest of the team sits and drinks Gatorade. Make’em run for absolute boneheaded mistakes with the game on the line.

I apologize for the audio breakup, obviously my new mic cannot handle my sheer force of truths. I will be throwing it in the woods shortly and purchasing anew.

Orton Contract Extension: The Will of P.P. Be Done

Smart. The Broncos extended Orton’s contract into 2011. Kyle Orton finally gets a little respect from the Broncos brass and it’s well deserved. I hoped we’d extend it even further, but that’s a lot of dough. We’ll see what kind of year he has and where his competition is at next year, if he’s playing well and nobody can rise to the challenge then we could even extend it again.

I’m telling you people, this Kyle Orton is a no-nonsense team player and let’s say someone beats him out eventually–if that happens, then Orton becomes the best backup in the entire league. If he accepts that, which he could–if not, then we could trade him and trust me: there would be takers.

He ain’t no GQ posing prima donna, and with his team-first attitude he and Tebow can coexist for the foreseeable future. You won’t catch Orton bellyaching and acting the fool when they play Tebow in special packages this season. He’s a professional and he’s coachable–unlike that mop-headed doofus who don’t look right up there in Chicago. That pick-a-minute Dort up in Chicago.

So we did the right thing here, McDaniels is probably reading P.P. lately. We did the right thing, this man is important to this team.

Shame. Woe and shame to those who called for Orton’s dismissal before this quarterback “competition” even began. The nerve of some of you people: “Trade Orton Now.”

Look at that, eh? Look at that headline. Take a good look at that absolute joke. I’ve told you time and time again that Numbnuts at the Post will lead you right into a ditch. The nine thousand plus sea cucumbers who voted in that Post poll to get rid of Orton, what a joke, what a disgrace. The only excuse those cretins have is if they have is if they’re too young to know what day it is or if they’re Gator fans who don’t know what the hell is going on. How dare they besmirch this Orton and his lovely wife Bridget who love Denver.

You had morons booing him last year, morons failing to realize our team was dead in the water without him. These mental defectives lamented the loss of that Nashville-loving pick throwing mop-headed Dort loser, that GQ posing goonball who ran around the field fumbling and getting picked like a chicken with its proverbial head cut off.

I DON’T FORGET THESE TRANSGRESSIONS. THESE TRANSGRESSIONS THAT ARE MANY. LOOK AT THAT HEADLINE, PULL TRIGGER ON ORTON TRADE. YOU’VE GOT TO BE %$#&ING KIDDING ME. IT’S NOT EVEN AMUSING. THAT NUMBY IS NOTHING BUT A PROVOCATEUR. YET YOU GOT NINE THOUSAND SEA CUCUMBERS NODDING THEIR SPONGE HEADS IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT THING.

Here we have the one proven QB on our roster and we should trade him away? Unbelievable, love him or hate him, Orton is going to have a long career in this league helping us or another team win. The same can’t really be said yet of either Quinn or Tebow.

We did the right thing here, and some of you people out their dissing Orton should hold your tongues and respect this guy, even if he were to get beat out at some point, you’re looking at our best chance to win games. Plus, he could be very valuable to us in the future, whether starting or not.

Brandon Marshall Still Punting and Pouting

Brandon Marshall drops a sure touchdown ball at a Dolphins practice and punts the ball over a fence in frustration. Then he goes off an sulks for a while. I’m not surprised. Maybe that Krieger is, that Krieger over at the Denver Post who wrote that Miami was basically robbing the Broncos in the Marshall trade. Then you had that Numby leading a chorus of goobers: pay the man, pay him 50 plus million!

I ain’t surprised. It’s just a matter of time before the meltdown, and that’s why I’m trotting out the Brandon Marshall Meltdown Meter.

Brandon Marshall Meltdown Meter

Fresh off the heels of my earth-shattering, awe-inspiring Huckdort Counter. The Huckdort Counter that recorded Jay Huckdort Cutler’s many egregious interceptions last year, now I am proud to further extend my genius on display for all to see through the Marshall Meltdown Meter.

Every dropped pass, every Dolphins loss, every off-field violation, every game where Marshall doesn’t get the ball much and every time Marshall simply acts up, that’s more juice for the Meltdown Meter.

Until finally, he’s cut or traded or suspended.

I’m glad somebody bought the idea of Marshall “changing his ways if we just pay him.”

Good luck Miami, and I can’t believe the Tuna signed on to this one.

Cris Carter’s a Smart Man

Was just watching ESPN, and that Cris Carter comes on with Tebow analysis, said he looked pretty good but will be effective this year in special packages and the wildcat, or Wild Horses. Says the Broncos will utilize his special talents in the regular season.

Damn straight. McDaniels won’t show that in the preseason though, I heavily doubt he’ll play his hand in preseason. Unlike that Huckdort and Co. up in Chicago who played their hand in preseason last year, throwing to the tight end was all they had and they played their hand like a bunch of goobers. I doubt we’ll see any special packages or Wild Horses until the regular season, maybe only the third preseason game, if at all this preseason.

After the Cincinnati vs Denver game, the front page of NFL.com reads: Tebow Who? Terrell Owens and the Bengals stole the show in defeating the Broncos.

Cincinnati Denver 2010 Preseason

Oh really?

Somebody didn’t watch the game. All I saw out of T.O. was a big orange striped doofus getting schooled by Champ Bailey time and time again. Not to mention our first string defense didn’t give up jack squat to their “high powered” offense.

Tebow’s NFL Debut was Decent

Tell you what, if that Brady Quinn keeps playing like he’s playing, and that Tebow keeps playing like he’s playing, Timmy Teebs will be–or should be–the second string quarterback.

Tebow threw the ball pretty well, he was cool in the pocket and he should have had a throw for a touchdown. Keep in mind he’s playing with and against scrubs in the fourth quarter, nonetheless he looked decent. You see them blitzing him like crazy, eh? They do that to rookies, and since our running game is sub-par right now, they knew we were throwing on pretty much every down. One problem I see with him and Quinn is they try to do too much every single play. They can learn from Orton on this one, Orton throws the ball away or into the ground smartly when things ain’t looking good out there. This Quinn’s forcing the ball to nothing, forcing the ball and almost getting picked when it was more prudent to throw it away and settle for three before the half. This Tebow’s looking to make a play every time he touches the ball, he’s got to settle down with that and not force the ball like that pick throwing Dort up in Chicago. Forcing the ball left and right like he’s God’s gift to the gridiron, that pick throwing Huckdort.

For this game, Tebow didn’t look too bad out there and Brady Quinn looked like a rookie for the most part. Kyle Orton looked like a professional.

Our first string offense and defense outplayed the Bengals tonight, not bad considering Cincinnati already had a preseason game under their belts coming in. The first string offensive line didn’t play too bad, but then again there’s not much to fear with Cincinnati’s d-line. Our running game is very mediocre right now and it’s partly our fault for bringing in a guy who has a track record of missing every other season.

With all this talk of Perrish Cox, I  didn’t come away impressed–maybe he just had a bad game. I notice they’re throwing to that Matthew Willis a whole lot, if this continues it may be bye bye Stokley. Our first string receiving corps looked good, even without the promising rookies in there.

First string defense looked good, second and third string–not so much. Nobody on the second string defense really stood out–just a bunch of guys getting beat down the field left and right. At least our starters are competent, and that’s what matters most thankfully.

Broncos Country: Trade Orton Now, Eh?

TRADE ORTON NOW, EH? UNBELIEVABLE. HE’S A PROFESSIONAL AND HE’S SHARP AS A TACK OUT THERE.

Woody Paige Orton Broncos

YOU RUBES, YOU LOSERS, GOOBERS AND MORONS–YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR VOTING IN THAT DENVER POST POLL TO GET RID OF ORTON. WHAT A JOKE, WHAT A DISGRACE. LOOK AT THIS IDIOCY, EH? LOOK AT IT. “PULL TRIGGER ON THE ORTON TRADE NOW,” WHAT STUPIDITY, WHAT FLAWED THINKING. ITS BEYOND FLAWED, IT’S CONDUCT DETRIMENTAL TO THE TEAM. THE MENTAL DEFECTIVE THAT WROTE THAT PIECE OF CRAP SHOULD BE FIRED FROM THE DENVER POST SPORTS PAGE. SHOULD TAKE HIS FLAWED LOGIC AND THROW IT IN THE WOODS. THROW IT IN THE WOODS, IT SUCKS, SUCKS.

Can you imagine going into this season without Orton now, eh? Good luck with that. That Mighty Quinn couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with a rocksalt shotgun. It is beyond stupid to diss Orton, ultimately stupid for Denver Post writers to diss him. Let’s say, for sake of argument, that Orton gets beat out eventually, by somebody–maybe not even anybody we have now. If that happens, can you imagine a better backup quarterback to have? He’d be the best damn backup in the league. You people better respect Orton, he’s a professional, he’s no-nonsense and he’s getting the job done for us. This offense was dead in the water last year without Orton, and all indications are they’d be dead in the water this year without him too.

Ayers and the defensive line looked decent, they are big bull-rushers up in there–Ayers keeps bull-rushing into the QB like that and we’ll be OK on the defensive front. Pressure counts for something, even without sacks. That Bannan, that Williams in the middle looks good, nothing flashy, but they are big and capable of wreaking havoc. They aren’t just big, they’re big playmakers. Lance Ball looked OK, he caught the ball well. How about that Jabar Gaffney, eh? That’s a professional, highly underrated player. You wanna laugh at the Orton/Gaffney connection, you wanna dismiss it–you’ll do that at your own peril. Hell of a play call on third and short, that throw to Lloyd for the touchdown. Eddie Royal keeps performing like that and this offense will be ruling the proverbial roost.
