Kyle Orton has been removed as the starting quarterback of the Broncos. Orton was placed in a difficult situation from jump street. The Broncos had a deal in place to trade him to Miami in the preseason and then his own fans were chanting for Tim Tebow starting Week 1. Still, Orton's on-field play was inexcusable. He went 1-4 in five starts, throwing seven interceptions, losing two fumbles and posting a 75.7 quarterback rating. Orton will head into free agency after this season with a down arrow.
