"If the Broncos are to have a successful season, Kyle Orton? will have to be No. 8.

Not No. 8 as in his jersey number. Orton will have to play like the eighth-best quarterback in the NFL.

It won't be easy, because the NFL has at least 25 quality quarterbacks who have either experienced success or are young and abundantly talented. Orton is capable, though, of moving from his current rank of roughly in the top 15 to inside the top 10."
