To say that the first four games of 2011 have been disappointing and frustrating would an understatement of unbelievable proportions. Never before in all the years I have been following the Broncos have I seen the kind of fan outrage that is circulating around sports blogs and news agencies. The is a great deal of understandable anguish and anger going around. When a 6-0 start turned into an 8-8 finish, followed by a 3-10 start with a 4-12 finish, followed by a 1-3 start, the situation turned truly ugly.
Yet, it seems far too simplistic to me to boil the situation down to single elements like, “Orton sucks,” “Fox is stubborn,” or “If Tebow had started, we’d be 3-0.” Let’s not .
Let’s try to look at the bright side for a moment. We have brought in a new coach who is a proven winner, we have competition at the QB position. The team is fairly young with some talent at key positions. We have started very poorly which a lot of the times results in a very good draft pick. I am not trying to say that I would rather lose to get a high draft pick, but just looking at the bright side. We have the front runner for the defensive rookie of the year award (Von Miller). Let’s give coach John Fox and his crew a little space and give him a year to start improving this team before we go bashing him. I think there are good things to come and I beleive Kyle Orton should be given the shot to start, but after another couple games if he hasn’t turned it around it may be time to start looking at Tebow a little harder.
