Kyle Orton is 4-13 in his last 17 starts.
Coach John Fox has been steadfast in his belief that Orton gives the Broncos the best chance to win. But the numbers say otherwise. If they lose to the Chargers Sunday, the Broncos will be 1-5 and Orton is headed for free agency after the season. It wouldn't make much sense to keep trotting Orton out there.
But all signs point to my beloved Broncos getting their heads caved in and I think Orton will be throwing most of the day since their RBs blow goats right now. Schaub historically is terrible when AJ doesn't play. I also see the Texans straight pounding the rock against the Raiders with Mr. Foster.
True, you do have a point. Brandon Lloyd can take a workload as well. He will be guarded by John Joseph, who did remarkably well last week against Pittsburg/Mike Wallace, thus Antonio Brown got a heavy load of targets.
Arian Foster also is a great recieving back. I still take Schaub, but I see the dilemma.
San Diego's been a little stingy against the pass, thus far. Granted, the Minnesota game is still aiding those numbers, but not a plus match-up, regardless. Houston probably will run it up and down Oakland's throat, but they'll also use the play action heavily, they use it as much as any offense in the league. Because of the increasing danger of Orton getting yanked midgame, I say Schaub.
yes, and if you don't like Schaub, check the WW for a rook. Andy Dalton has a decent matchup, and Alex Smith has been on the up-n-up. I'm a Fitzpatrick guy myself, but I am keeping my eye on those two for the week 7 bye.
whoa, wouldn't necessarily go recommending those two limp arms. Dalton doesn't have that great of a match-up, nobody's thrown on Jacksonville much yet. Alex Smith.. is Alex Smith, nothing sexy about 13 points from your QB spot!

Who do I start: Orton or Matt Schaub, who has no Johnson?

He has Bryant Johnson lol.
But Owen Daniels, James Casey, Jacoby Jones, and Kevin Walter will be enough as far as targets go. And Arian Foster.
