Do you think the only difference between Tebow and Orton is their respective throwing motions? Tebow brought a lot to the table that Orton didn't. If I had to pick a player in the NFL who would have to be good at ANY position, Tebow would be damn near the top of the list. However, quarterback is a very specialized skillset which I (and many NFL people) think Tebow lacks. When he stepped in for Orton he was something different that teams weren't used to, but other teams soon found ways to gameplan for him to make him ineffective. His slow release makes it hard to compete passes in windows, so as a result his throws were all out routes/comeback routes/deep bombs v. single coverage. His accuracy wasnt great either, so he had a low completion % but few interceptions due to the selection of throws he made / routes that were run.

Orton is not a mental midget that cant make correct choices with the ball. Orton does not throw the ball into the ground every single time. Orton was a game manager like pennington, Tebow is media hype that a couple NFL teams fell for. Denver did better with Tebow because Tebow was a better leader and was able to motivate the team to player better for him. the team had no faith in Orton, and these players nowaday dont put their bodies out there for just anyone.. remember "For who? For what?" (if u dont remember "For who? For what?" you're too young to have NFL opinions).
