Thread: Orton doesn't agree with Broncos' decision to go with Tebow

Orton doesn't agree with Broncos' decision to go with Tebow

According to Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post, just four months after signing a contract extension that included $8.1 million in guaranteed money and saying Denver "is a place I want to be," Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton believes he's been swept to the curb.

"I'd love to play it out," Orton said. "It wasn't my decision. There was nothing I could do. . . . The way it was presented to me was he'll be the starter the rest of the season and that's just how it goes."

Orton is less than pleased with the turn of events. For half of this season, he was chasing the NFL's single-season passing record. Now, he's on the bench, in all likelihood having thrown his last pass with the Broncos, barring an injury to Tebow.

"You never want to give up your job, you know?" Orton said. "We've worked hard as a unit for a number of months, and you'd like to be able to finish that out with your guys. It's disappointing not to be able to do that."

"I don't know what's going to happen," Orton said. "I do know I'm not the one who's going to be making that decision. I'm not the one who made this decision. But (if) the organization wants to go a different way the rest of the year, then hey, that's just how it is. If I'm back next year, my belief is I'm coming back as the starter.

"Like I've said, I don't think anything I've done with my play warrants anything other than that. But they've made the decision, and I'm not going to fight the decision. It's the decision. I'll just prepare myself to play."
