Orton= 9-16 for 89 yards, 0 tds, 3 ints and a 32.6 QB rating. I wonder if any of the Denver fans still think Orton is better than Cutler?

I wonder who puts stock into the pre season games?

I know it's just preseason but this guy just shit the bed with massive pressure on him to raplace Cutler in Denver. Preseason or not ,3 ints in 3 drives tells me something is not good about having this guy under center.

I'll give you that the interceptions were terrible. Did you watch the game? However, he was efficiently and effectively moving the offense up and down the field until the interceptions. It looked to me as if he could clearly run the offense and had control of it for the most part. I think it was more about just bad decisions and rust. I know you can't just take away the interceptions, but I don't think Orton is one just to throw away the ball like that. If he just improves his decision making he might do decent.
Also, who knows with the 49's. Remember last year with the pre-season game against the Packers?? They destroyed us with all the blitzing and such. They might just really go all out for the pre-season.
I wouldn't be too quick to judge Orton until it becomes a pattern.
