Why We Love Kyle Orton...
...because he is an everyday man.
Because, as best we can tell, he drinks whiskey, isn't really the most in shape person, doesn't have a model girlfriend, and just plays football.
You don't see Kyle Orton on national advertising campaigns, he isn't considered "pretty enough." Hell, you don't see Kyle Orton on local advertising campaigns. Lovie Smith must not have known what to do with him, but Josh McDaniels sure seems to.
Last night, the Broncos sat in the shotgun all evening and gave Orton just enough time to make his reads and pick his way down the field 8-15 yards at a time. It was video game football, it was fun to watch, and it was being done by a player who, as far as we can tell, does have flaws.
So cheers to you Kyle Orton, you are the only elite Quarterback in 2009 that reminds the average young male of himself, and reminds us that you don't need to have a Brady face or a Manning charm to be successful.
