I think several of us understand that Orten is not a long term answer and some of us are even skeptical of his abilities short term. What we all hope for is that he can provide better consistency in the passing game. Hopefully just increasing the completion percentage putting this team in a better situation to win football games.
But here is what I think we should realistically expect from Orten on the field:
More downfield completions
EJ equivalent field management
More audibles ( given more reps and game time)
More interceptions because I expect Orten to be less conservative in his delivery
More sacks. He's less elusive than EJ. The pocket is going to fold at times. We need the running game to be successful in order to better assist/alleviate the pass block.
*And with more sacks surely opens up more opportunity for injury. Orten is no spring chicken and despite the recent promotion, if injured, we could very easily and prematurely see EJ back on the field.
I'd like to read your thoughts, additions or comments..
