Noodle Arm Orton

Old Noodle Arm.

Kyle Orton started his preseason with the Broncos prone to turnovers. For the first six games he appeared to be a changed man. But you can’t change a guy whose arm strength best resembles that of a pee-wee quarterback. This is the Kyle Orton that those in Chicago endured. The Josh McDaniel’s offense is designed to the dink and dunk, but you still have to have a quarterback who can threaten with throwing the ball down field. One play sticks with me from the Steelers game. Orton flushed from the pocket rolls right and gives it his all to get the ball to a wide receiver who has just finished a 10 yard out route. The ball finally made it to him on the third hop. That’s not something you can coach. That’s the difference between a good NFL quarterback and a mediocre one.
