This time around, though, we're taking a different approach. Rather than considering quarterbacks from the ancient past, our new ranking looks at those who came to Denver when championships were a reasonable possibility while riding waves of hype and hope — highly touted prospects who were supposed to lift the Broncos to the pinnacle of NFL greatness, but in the long run absolutely, positively didn't.
McDaniels, who'd worked miracles with Tom Brady in New England, was expected to cure Cutler's ills, but instead, he dumped him in favor of Orton, who'd worn out his welcome as signal caller for the Chicago Bears. In Denver, Orton managed to tread water in season one, going 8-7 in 2009. But season two was a 3-10 catastrophe that made it clear he wasn't the Broncos' answer and never would be.
But he simply couldn't throw the damn pigskin well enough to make it in the NFL; in 2011, he completed under 47 percent of his passes for fewer than 1,800 yards. The aforementioned Josh McDaniels used a first-round draft pick on Tebow, so certain was he that his genius could transform The Chosen One into an all-time great. He couldn't have been more wrong — but the misbegotten experiment ended happily.
