From the Mile High Report:
TJ, I'm a 26-year old aerobics instructor and I think Kyle Orton's beard is extremely sexy. What do you think the chance is that the Broncos sign him to a long term contract? I'd like to keep this eye candy in Denver for a long time.
---Charlie, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Charlie: I like your style. While most aerobics instructors are eyeing the likes of Tom Brady and Matty Ryan or recently-on-the-trading block Brady Quinn, you clearly don't follow the crowd. Facial hair aside, the Broncos recently tendered Orton with a first-round-draft pick, which was their way of saying they'd like Kyle to stick around for another year. If someone wants to get Orton from the Broncos, they're going to have to put together what would amount to a long term commitment to Orton, which I don't believe will happen.
However, it's unlikely they'll lock him up long term, for two reasons. First, and foremost, it doesn't make good business sense until we see how the lockout evolves. Second, and more important to the Broncos, they want to see how Orton progresses in his 2nd year under the McDaniels system. Brady himself said it takes two or even three years to begin to grasp this offensive system. Matt Cassel, let's face facts, had several years of studying the system before he got his break. So, we should probably give your eye candy another season to see how far he can come.
If McDaniels senses that Orton is regressing in the coming year, you can bet he won't waste time putting in his replacement, which will either be Tom Brandstater or a QB the Broncos will draft (or sign) this year between rounds 3-6. Conversely, if McDaniels believes Orton is the guy for this system and the Broncos win, let's say, 11 games, I think you will see them lock him up. Sweet, indeed.
I'm not sure how many Super-Bowl-Winning QBs have had facial hair, but who knows, maybe I'll run this down someday.
