The guy isn't terrible, but if this is a team's #1 QB then I can't see that as a team that's Super Bowl bound. I know Chicago did ok with him, but he's the kind of guy you just want to not lose the game for you, not the type you expect to win the game for you. That mentality alone makes a big difference. When you watch Manning or Brady play you feel excited because you expect that they're going to make something happen. With Orton you're excited when it's not a mistake.

Put a solid team all around him, and sure, he could win regularly, but a team like Denver doesn't have that well rounded game. I'm no fan of Tebow, but I see him as having the potential to be a bigger game changer than Orton will ever be.

Or he could fail miserably as well. :)
