Actually, Cassel is not doing bad. He just gets the blame. Four TD passes this week. If he gets time, he throws great. I'm mostly happy with Cassel, but Luck would be a great one for a quarterback-in-waiting. I'm not too impressed with Palko. No idea about Stanzi. He hasn't played enough to know anything about him.

I think Denver is doing the right thing going with Tebow. He ads a spark that Orten just doesn't have.

That was my whole argument in a nutshell. If Denver is out of it and Orton isn't getting it done, why keep beating a dead horse and trotting him out there week after week. He'll never be a Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, but maybe he can be at least a chep imitation of Michael Vick or Cam Newton. At least Tebow is fun to watch and the guys respond to him. Whether or not he becomes a successful starting QB is irrelevant at this point. He's all they have. I'll at least watch the games when he's in. Orton had gotten so stale that it was painful to watch.

Quinn was put in to play the last pre-season game in order to 1) knock Tebow out of the #2 spot or 2) showcase himself so that a team with QB problems (Seattle, Miami) may take notice and make a trade offer for him. Quinn did neither. In fact, according to sources, he played himself out of the #2 spot.

Lloyd on the block? WTF? Is McDaniels still making decisions?

They could be stockpiling picks in case they need/can trade up for Luck.

I bet they got a nice set of Ginsu Knives thrown in on the deal though.

That is why you always enter a minimum bid or a starting price at your minimum bid.

and, rumor has it, they may not be done.

Norhasken · 10-18-2011, 08:00 AM

Could be a fifth round. Wow.

Greco · 10-18-2011, 08:37 AM

Carson Palmer, who refuses to play for the Bengals, is reportedly headed to the Raiders for 2, count 'em, 2 first round picks.

And the Broncos end up with a 6th round pick for a pro bowl wide out.....sheesh!

I thought it went up to a third if he catches 30 balls.
