Don't be stupid, your only shot down the stretch is to sit Orton. If he gets hurt again this week because he is not ready then what? The rest of the season with toss it up quarterbacks. Take this one on the chin and start your backup. You never know how it will end up. This is the NFL and players show up usually when they are expected to flop. Next week bring back your 09' goldenboy and get on with your season. Remember its a job to these guys, if your sick and miss a day does everything go to hell at work without you? NO, it only seems like it would. May need to work a little harder when you get back though to get caught up. Look at things logically. Not like a bunch of raging crybaby fans.

I would like to know who all these “FOOLS” are that are coming in here and lobbying for Brandstater. What in the HELL has he done to deserve a shot at starting? Oh, that's right, he had one good PRE-SEASON game against a bunch of 3rd stringers. You've got to be kidding me!! Robtink242, all the crap you're spewing from that pie hole of yours is just that, CRAP!! There's no way in HELL we'd have any chance of winning with Brandstater at QB. Our best chance of playing well is with Orton, whether you HATERS like it or not!! We're currently tied for 1st in our division and own the tie-breaker over San Diego. This game this week is our season and to start Brandstater or Simms in a game this big is absolutely ludicrous. How about you trolls go back to your caves until you can become real fans!!

Agree…we don’t really know anything about Brandstater at this point and if Simms was this bad as the #2, you have to know TB is no where ready to go.

Simms pissed me off Sunday after the game when he is out there laughing and yukking in up with the Skins. He just played damn near the worst half of football you could possibly play (a 7 rating) and he’s out there smiling and joking around. I don’t want that as my backup.

Orton is our only hope on Sunday along with a better running game that we saw a glimpse of this past week.

I would dump Simms to inactive and move TB to the back up spot even though he is not ready. Why…because Simms does not care and TB can’t be much worse than a 7 rating, so you might as well see what we have now if Orton can’t go…

I like Brandstater too. I think he has the potential to perform in this system very well. I'm just tired of all the DUR PUT BRANDSTATER IN DUR comments. Why would anyone expect him to perform at a high level now, in his rookie year? Chris Simms got demolished and he's got more experience.

This season isn't over yet. Not even close. For the time being, the bottom line is that Orton is by far our best option at quaterback.

I'm not agreeing with Milelow but i also disagree with you on Bradstater. What was Tom Brady stats out if college, or Kurt Warner, or Jake Delhomme or even Tony Romo. Three of these guys went undrafted. Three of these guys went to the super bowl. and between them 7 super bowl appearances and 2 future hall of famers. I sorry you just don't know the potential of these players until they are on the field. You mention Leaf & Russell that were high draft picks. Those guys never maid the transition to the NFL and most high draft picks don't.

From 2000 – 2009 we have drafted Deltha O'neal, Willie Middlebrooks, Ashley Lelie, George Foster, DJ Williams, (05 no first pick, 2nd Pick) Darrent Williams, Jay Cutler, Jarvis Moss, Ryan Clady, Knowshon Moreno and Robert Ayers. From that list how many players due we list as bust. DJ Williams, Darrent Williams, Jay Cutler, Ryan Clady are the only ones to have any value. Moreno and Ayers are going through their Rookie Year.

First off, why would you EVER hope that ANY player is hurt longer than they have to be. This is entertainment to us buts its a lot more serious to them. Second, you people just assume that Brandstater will be good, or even competent in this system. WHY?!?!?!?!?!?! He's not as good as you think he is. His stats in college weren't that great. His play against second and third stringers in preseason wasn't that great. He's got potential, but not much else. BUT HE'S BIG AND HAS A BIG ARM. So? Ryan Leaf was heralded coming out of college because of his immense physical promise. Jarmarcus Russel was an absolute beast with a ridiculous arm at LSU. Look how they turned out. Being physically gifted doesn't make you a great (or good (or even mediocre)) QB. At this level, it means almost nothing on its own. I'm pissed because this shows that you people will never be happy. Orton was putting up some damn good numbers when he was in but you couldn't care less.

You say that your comment "is going to make the peeps mad but true." Well, I'm calling you out. I don't think what you said is even close to true. In fact, I think its complete and utter crap that you didn't spend even ten minutes thinking about.

Dude.... Dude... Lets assume for a minute that you are right. Cutler's play would obviously have to improve over what it was to be compared to Elway. but assume that it does. He becomes one of the best QB's in the league. What does moaning and whining about it do? What's done is done. Get over it.

Now, look at the current season. Cutler is NOT playing like a great QB. In fact, his problems are becoming highlighted. He can't make intelligent reads of defenses, he can't adjust, he makes stupid, stupid decisions, he's completely ineffective in the redzone. He has had all of these problems both in Denver (great offensive weapons) and Chicago (not so great). Additionally, there were rumors that Cutler has an alcohol problem, which actually makes me feel bad for him.

Either way, what point is there in getting so upset? And don't write in caps. its not like people think you are more intelligent because of it.

Who do I need to talk too to get Deion Sanders fired from NFL network?
If there was a racist Rich Eisen, he would have been fired a long time ago!!!

Anyone notice how poorly SD has been playing through the air. We can really lite um up and then pound all over them. Look for Tony and B marsh to shine
