Orton on the John Murphy show.

[better days]

I heard a prerecorded Orton interview on the Murph show today.

Said he was a neighbor of Kyle Williams down in La. & played golf with him.

Said he played with Ruben Brown for 3 years in Chicago & that Ruben would always RAVE about BUFFALO.

Said the Coaches spent 12 hours on Saturday (their day off) teaching him the offense & he is now comfortable in it.

When he said before that Buffalo was where he wanted to be, probably because of Kyle & Ruben.

Said being from Iowa, he is happy to play for another northern team.

5 million dollars had nothing to with it.

He is America's sweetheart.

Nobody said that, but he could have stayed with the Cowboys. For some reason, he wanted out of Dallas.

I'm sure another team like the Rams would have been happy to have him & he would have started there, but who knows how much they would have been willing to pay.

Fitz got $7.5 Million from the Texans with $4 Million Guaranteed. If Orton only plays this year for the bills he will make $1 Million more than Fitz. I think Orton is worth that.

The Bills have an option for next year for $6 Million if they want to keep Orton.

oh relax BD. I'm glad we signed Orton. But I'm sure 5 million had something to do with his signing with us as well as EJ's inconsistency.

Ugh. We're so pathetic we think Kyle Orton is our savior.

If EJ gets injured, he may be.

I am much happier knowing Orton is on the bench instead of Thad or Jeff.

Re: Orton on the John Murphy show.

I always thought Orton got a raw deal and was actually pretty decent. He was better than Fitz.

I'm praying for a Rich Gannon scenario, but god knows we'd never be that lucky.

Re: Orton on the John Murphy show.

He is no savior but a great insurance policy.

He is an average to slightly above Average QB. That is all we really need.

If EJ is terrible at least we have something.

Maybe he didn't feel like going through training camp and pre-season. Sign with a new team for a bunch of money one week before the start of the season.

Yeah, I said that myself in another thread. He may have wanted to retire, but $11 Million is good reason to postpone that.

Re: Orton on the John Murphy show.

i have never heard the interview where the player has said, "i am down to my last options and frankly my agent pulled a fast one here. i can't believe i'm getting paid what i'm getting paid. I saw the playbook, not going to lie. it's complex. i spent 12 hours with coaches and it just wasn't sinking in. and frankly i'm terrified because it makes no sense on paper and i haven't even done walk throughs or thrown a ball out of the formation. i'm just hoping i don't get killed out there."

if that interview was somewhat common, i'd be excited at his interview. but it's mostly fluff. and frankly a 32 year old journey man QB should not be getting us excited. this is the state of what a russ brandon V3 built team looks like and what the fans must endure.
