Kyle Orton

Denver Broncos

2009 Review

What a difference a city (and year) makes.  The man who seemingly is pushing for "Regular-Season beards" to be the new fad, found his niche in the Mile-High city after being jettisoned from the not-so-QB-friendly confines of Soldier Field in Chicago.  They weren’t quite the numbers Jay Cutler put up when he was in the Broncos orange and blue, but they were respectable enough to earn him high-end backup fantasy QB status in 2009.  Kyle had his ups and downs on the year, but he definitely earned the respect from his teammates and coaches after starting off the season 6-0, with three of those wins coming against playoff-bound Dallas, New England, and San Diego.


 


kyle orton 2009 stats


~ Set career bests in completions (336), attempts (541), completion percentage (62.1%), yards (3,802), passing TDs (21), yards/attempt (7.0), yards/game (237.6), and QB Rating (86.8)

2010 Fantasy Outlook

We said it once, and we'll say it again. What a difference a year makes. Except this time, Orton could follow up his best season by having his worst. 2010 should be an interesting year for Orton, and not likely on the good side of interesting.  The Broncos have already brought in a capable backup QB, Brady Quinn, just in case Orton falters out of the gate.  Not only that, but without the services of Brandon Marshall in 2010, Orton is more set up for failure than ever before in his career.  He was a decent backup fantasy quarterback in 2009, and he showed that he can certainly prosper when put in a good situation.  However, 2010 looks to be a bad situation all the way around for Kyle, especially now that the Broncos have committed their future (at least in part) to Tim Tebow.  If you slot him on your team this upcoming draft, don’t be surprised if he ends up being one of your first drops of the year as well.


~ No Brandon Marshall means no good times for the Denver QB


~ Brady Quinn and Tim Tebow will be breathing down his hairy neck from Day 1


~ Their #1 WR is either 5’10” Eddie Royal or rookie Demaryius Thomas.  Not good

Injury Report

Green

Orton is always dealing with bumps and bruises, usually having something to do with his ankle, but he's not too much of an injury-risk seeing that he's played in 31 of 32 games the last two seasons
