I'm just trying to tease apart player from coach to gain a clear assessment of Kyle Orton through six glorious games, and it's not proving easy. And I'm honestly not trying to drag us into the tired old "should we have or shouldn't we have" debate comparing Kyle with he-who-will-not-here-be-named. A QB is always largely a product of his system. That's why the question is rattling around my brain like a bad penny in a garbage disposal. How much of Orton's success is his own, and how much is directly and unequivocally attributable to the wundercoach, Josh McDaniels. But when I dug a little deeper, I realized that there's a question burning in me like a southbound habanero burrito, and at risk of courting a little controversy and criticism, I'm really curious to hear what the MHR masses think. Now I don't consider myself an Orton basher, and have been very happy with his development over the season. When I read BroncosNL's post this week about which of our upcoming free agents we should prioritize, I was surprised to watch the ripples in my mind created by Kyle Orton slipping like a stone to the bottom of the list. Note: I wrote this post during the bye week, when the Broncos' record was still without a blemish. Editor's Note - I thought this posst was an excellent example of how to have doubts about the Broncos, specifically Kyle Orton, and do it in a PRODUCTIVE manner.
