Kyle Orton has a bum ankle for the Denver Broncos
The Broncos better have their fingers crossed that Kyle Orton’s injury to his ankle is not too bad because if it is the season is pretty much over for them. Orton has started all 9 games for the Broncos this season and he has completed 181 of 287 passes (63.1%) for 2,031 yards with 11 TD passes and 4 INTs (91.1 QB Rating). He also has carried the ball 14 times for 27 yards (1.9 ypc) so far this year. If Orton is not ready to go on Sunday then the Broncos will turn to Chris Simms. The lefty has a strong arm and he has blond hair just like his dad (Phil Simms). It’s too bad that is where the comparison ends as Simms stinks as a QB. He only completed 3 of 13 passes (23.1%) for 13 yards with 1 INT last week when he replaced Orton. He was also sacked three times as he was holding the football way too long. Simms has now played in 21 games in his NFL career and he has completed 295 of 507 passes (58.2%) for 3,107 yards with 12 TD passes and 18 INTs (69.2 QB Rating). He has also carried the ball 30 times for 52 yards (1.7 ypc) with 1 TD run. The Broncos will have absolutely no chance of making the playoffs or winning the division if Simms has to start games so they better hope that Orton is ready to go this Sunday.
