I would stick with Orton. Not a real big fan of Rivers either this year. Not because I dont think hes good....just tough to throw that many TDs on a team that is still predominantly run first. I believe Denver will be a big time throwing team and Orton should benefit.

PEACE

Im pretty shocked at the above responses to be honest. It really wouldnt shock me if Orton outscored Rivers by the end of the year if they both stayed healthy.

I dont like Orton and think Garrard might have a nice year.
Denver is going to be passing alot because they most likely wil be playing catch-up each week. His INT's might eat up his yards.

An absurd % of Rivers passes went for TDs last year. Unless you think Chargers will throw more its nearly impossible to match that many TDs again....more or less what I am saying is last years TDs for Rivers were a fluke and thats causing him to be way overvalued this year.

You don't need to do anything BC.. start Rivers and keep orton on your bench.. no need to panic.. long season.

agree with the two above me BC, no matter which of those QBs you have on your bench, you are going to start Rivers every week but his bye week anyway.

So you may as well take the one with the most upside, and I think that's Orton. I mean with a guy like Garrard, he's gonna be what he is, consistent, but never good enough to start over Rivers. May as well take a guy that's gonna throw alot, and if he sucks or is inconsistent, he can stay on the bench. No sense in taking a guy like Garrard, that'll throw for 175 yds and 1 TD every week, and manage a game well but never put up high end fantasy numbers.

That made more sense in my head than it does written out, so hopefully you can make something of it lol

Yes, I get that up, MCP, and Trossi.
I want to pick up a dark horse QB for a possible trade later.
I can keep Orton. Maybe i will just stick it out and see how it goes. Thanks boyz!
