Re: Some info on Orton
A long write up, but very interesting. I think EJ can learn something from Orton by sitting a while & watching Orton play.Originally posted by Fletch View Post -
Re: Some info on Orton
Yeah, it was interesting for sure. I skimmed it and hit the meaty parts.
I don't think that learning is EJ's problem. It's the ability to put what he's learned into practice, which he seems to be unable to do. We keep hearing about how bright the guy is, but bright people don't struggle like he does in doing that. He's got the softs but he just doesn't and never had the hard skills. It was always his athleticism that allowed him to be a very average college QB.
I have no idea why anyone thought he'd be average in the NFL when he couldn't do more than that in college.
The key for us is a new GM and head coach. The current ones might string this out much further than it should be strung out. They need to admit the mistake and move on. I don't see Whaley doing that, especially since he's all-in on Manuel now he really can't and get away with it. If they don't move on then it will inhibit us from getting a real QB. Time to let Manuel be another team's project. Time to let Whaley go. Both were equally bad decisions for this team. Then fire Brandon who made that decision.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Re: Some info on Orton
Your grass is greener on the other side angers me. As if you can't see that Whaley hasn't made this team better than it was you really need to bone up on your history. As quite frankly I think Whaley has done a good job in bringing in talent. Also look back at that draft where we took Manuel. Take a closer look, here's a list of the guys selected in the 1st after EJ. Sort through it and tell me which one of them would you want instead? Then tell me which NFL QB should we have signed for as an UFA that would fix our QB situation? It's easy to criticise but as of yet I haven't heard you tell me what you feel the better alternative was? As quite frankly there may not have been one.Originally posted by Fletch View Post

Re: Some info on Orton
"Watching him carve up Philadelphia like a Thanksgiving turkey in Week 4 was enlightening. He threw 3 TD passes in the 1st half against a pretty good Philly defense. He really does excel in that red zone - he also used the no-huddle very effectively to control the blitz.. Orton was sacked 4 times, hit 4 times more, knocked down 3 times and had 2 batted balls. That was in just the 1st half plus 10 minutes of the Philadelphia game. He still came up with 3 TD passes in that time. That was pretty good, considering how he was pummeled:."Comment

Re: Some info on Orton
21-12 in Chicago. That's including his rookie year.
He can run a no huddle offense.
His red zone numbers are exactly what the Bills have been looking for.

Re: Some info on Orton
Believe it or not there are other possibilities. First of all let's not forget that Whaley was the Asst. GM and top personnel guy since 2010. Selective memory failure is no excuse for not pointing that out.Originally posted by The Jokeman View Post
Second of all I wouldn't have allowed this team to get into that predicament to begin with so laying Whaley's failures and mess from 2010 thru 2012 at my feet isn't fair.
So let's start there. I was literally screaming at my friends for us to select Wilson when he was available in 2012! Problem solved!
Anything else?
My grass is greener. Your suggesting that i'm just as foolish and stupid as Whaley annoys me.
I also wouldn't have wasted a 1st round pick on Spiller, 3rd round picks on Graham or Goodwin, or a 2nd rounder on Aaron Williams. I sure as hell wouldn't have traded away next year's 1st and 4th for Watkins and would have taken Evans or Benjamin instead, whichever was available at 9th if I even felt that I needed a WR that badly instead of not keeping Stevie for another season.Last edited by Fletch; 10-01-2014, 09:47 PM.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Re: Some info on Orton
We've been through this. I post it again and people tell me I'm beating a dead horse. You were in on this very conversation months back. Go reread it.Originally posted by better days View Post
FSU won despite EJ not because of him. He had one good bowl game. It's ******ed to suggest that anything but his bowl game performance vs. Notre Dame, which wasn't even a very good team, contributed heavily to any of FSU's bowl games.
Fortunately the EJ era is over here seemingly and he won't likely start for another NFL team except as a backup.
Now it's Pegula's turn to clean house.Last edited by Fletch; 10-01-2014, 09:53 PM.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Re: Some info on Orton
Ya, you'd do that if you wanted to be fired. Our team would be a lot worse off without Spiller, Watkins, and Williams and there's no way we would make the playoffs this year without them. Those guys are reliable starters in the NFL. That's what you are hoping to get in the draft. What would you like instead? Kiko Alonso's at every pick?Originally posted by Fletch View Post
The bills have been bad because of the constant total whiffs in the draft like EJ, not the guys who are actually performing well at this level.
