It looks like Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton could be headed to his third new team in four seasons. Plagued by injuries in his young career, 2010 looked to be Orton’s year.
In the first half of the 2010 season, Orton came out swinging.
He threw 13 touchdowns to just five interceptions, and with 2,510 passing yards, he looked like a guy who was legitimately challenging Dan Marino’s record for most passing yards in a season (5,084 in 1984).
However, in the next five games, Orton really cooled off, tossing seven scores to four interceptions, and only eclipsing 300 passing yards once.
Whispers arose that Orton had been playing hurt, and eventually Orton was named the third QB on the depth chart for the Broncos' final three games of the season.
As of now, the writing is on the wall for Orton, as the Tim Tebow experience is in full effect for Denver.
The Broncos first-round draft pick this year is still very raw as a passer, completing exactly 50 percent of his passes in his three starts (41-of-82).
However, he had a respectable TD-to-interception ratio for a rookie (five to three), and amassed 199 rushing yards and three scores in the same span, bringing an element to the offense that Orton does not have.
Orton said he was healthy enough to start the final two games on the schedule, and was understandably annoyed over getting benched.
Furthermore, reports have come out of Denver that they would part ways with Orton for a second-round draft pick.
Therefore, it is worth evaluating where Orton could potentially be playing during the 2011 season.
