With Kyle Orton at QB, Broncos have only a ghost of a chance

"Perhaps Kyle Orton should change his name to Casper Tulowitzki.

When the home crowd boos at every home game he can think it's because he's "The Friendly Ghost," and when the Broncos "fans" chant "Tee-Bow," he can believe they're saying "Tu-Lo."

Of course, unlike the stadium, Orton won't change his name over adverse reactions. As he stated Aug. 8: "Thank God the people don't make the decisions. That's really all I got to say about it."

But that wasn't all, because Orton added that his "last goal is to win over the fans."

On Monday night, Orton didn't accomplish his last goal, or many others, except, probably, for passing for more than 275 yards. The Broncos now are 4-9 when Orton throws for more than 275 yards.

During training camp, Orton told a local radio station that the last two seasons were the best of his career, and also said to reporters, "I'm playing the best football of my career." Then, he added, "all I'll do is let my play speak for itself."

After the latest loss to the Raiders, the Broncos are 11-18 when Orton starts. Let that record speak for itself."
