Kyle Orton has been selected as starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos.
Was there any real doubt as to who the starter would be.
While Orton's career has been less than stellar, Simms has only played in one game.
Orton has established himself as a winner, even if his individual statistics weren't the best. Orton has won 21 of 33 career starts, including in 2005 when he led Chicago to an 11-5 record and first place in the NFC North. The Bears lost to the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. He led Chicago to a 9-7 record last season, just narrowly missing the NFC playoffs.

I have no idea what this offense is going to look like. I think it has been understood, though, that Orton would be the starter. I like Simms as a back-up (although I wonder if he'd have the job if his last name wasn't Simms), but don't see any QB controversies unless Orton just does terribly (which history suggests he will be average at his worst). All things in sports are eventually wait and see, but I like having a starter going into camp, particularly when you have a new coaching regime. I think Brandon Marshall will play for Denver this year (just typical WR drama..sigh).
