Denver Broncos adjust to life without Jay Cutler

The Denver Broncos, trying to adjust to life without Jay Cutler, has named Kyle Orton as the starting quarterback.

Orton was chosen as the starter over Chris Simms, son of former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms.

Kyle Orton, is the undistinguished quarterback that came to the Broncos from the Chicago Bears in that blockbuster deal that sent Jay Cutler to the Bears.

Denver cartoonist Drew Litton expresses the sentiments of many Bronco fans in the cartoon shown above.

Sadly, the “good news - bad news” story could be used the other way around as well based on the fact that Chris Simms hasn't played since Week 3 of the 2006 season due to complications from a ruptured spleen while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Chris Simms came to Kyle Orton’s defense noting that he was underrated in college and underrated with the Chicago Bears.

Orton will probably be underrated with the Broncos as well.
