If Orton doesn't become our #1 QB immediately, I'm going to snap

[Skooby]

There's zero reason to not have EJ sit down & learn behind a 10 year veteran QB. It's painfully obvious that EJ cannot currently function at the position & has some major mechanical issues with his footwork. The rest of the team is stacked with talent at nearly every position but QB. Orton is the better QB right now, just play the best players.

Impossible, 3 to 4 weeks at least.

Orton doesn't know our system, our receivers, and may not be able to locate Buffalo on an unmarked map. We don't need to throw him to the wolves like we did with Jordan Palmer. A QB can't do his job if he doesn't have a working knowledge of the offense.

Orton needs a few weeks running the scout team and learning the playbook.

Given EJ's injury history and his lack of progression thus far, Orton's opportunity WILL come at some point and I think he'll make the most of it.

Have some patience.

Be careful what you wish for.

I mean, it's not like it's difficult to run our offense. Tell CJ Spiller to run straight up the middle, then give Fred Jackson all the plays in open space. Really play to both their strengths. Then make sure you throw the ball to Scott Chandler. Right in the hands, or else he might catch it.

Are you a complete idiot? How can he come in and start not knowing even one page of the playbook?

You're going to have to snap then, and I'd like to watch.

It wouldn't be the first time.

You see, that's what's sad...Orton probably hasn't gotten a copy of the playbook, yet he's already better suited for the position than EJ.

EJ is just terrible. There's absolutely no shred of evidence that points to him becoming anything in this league. Every single thing he does--that is, every aspect that goes into the QB position--is subpar.

So there IS an upside !

Orton the "best QB on the team"?!?!?

Sorry, but Orton has a history and it's not very pretty.

Re: If Orton doesn't become our #1 QB immediately, I'm going to snap

the best thing of course would be for ej to put it together and keep the job

what would the worst thing be?

well that seems easy - where they go back and forth swapping starts locked in an epic mathison/ferragamo battle of suck

or maybe it would be worse if they were both marginally acceptable so we could argue about it incessantly all season long

...

cmon ej!

Do you have a timer or beeper that lets you know to post another thread every 5 minutes?
