Heck, John Elway is 49 years old, get him out there, even at that age and after 10 years of retirement I wouldn't be surprised to see an improvement over Orton.

The defensive coordinator is at fault for that cincy score by being conservative and letting palmer have some relief from the pressure.
and I realize that alot of people think Kyle Orton sucks, but that just makes them plain wrong. Orton had zero turnovers and is currently the #6 QB in the league for rating. Now, if you want to blame missed blocks and O line penalties on Orton, fine, but that's not very smart. If you want to blame dropped passes on Orton, that's less smart. If you want to acknowledge that the entire offense needs to step it up, including Orton, then you are most likely right.
It's only week 1 and you've got the #6 QB in the league, yet you're ready to cut him from the roster. Does that sound smart to you?
