One less garbage to sweep."Expect rejection, but expect more to overcome it."
***Marv Levy.***
"Coach Levy is one of the most inspirational people that I have ever known."
***Thurman Thomas.***
"You're not going to find a more classier, down-to-Earth person away from the field than Marv Levy. He's a guy who's pretty much made me what I am today as far as a professional player and a person."

Re: Kyle Orton retires: Via Buffalo Bills official Twitter Account
He was a late signing at the conclusion of the preseason, a veteran presence that Bills head coach Doug Marrone felt had to be on the roster at the most important position. Come season’s end Kyle Orton made 12 starts going 7-5 for the Bills. On Monday he announced this season would be his last in the NFL.
“I just have been going at it for 10 years and it’s just a family decision and I’ve decided to get home and be a dad and call it a day,” said Orton.
Orton, who was contemplating retirement this past offseason signed with the Bills and had a player option to return for the 2015 season, but wanting to be close to family again has his mind made up.

Good. Retires as a winning QB at least.
I kind of agree with some that he may have some inherent competitive edge in him (any QB made to NFL would have), but I didn't see the kind of fire even Fitz had and have from Orton.
One guess would be Marrone told him that he is not guaranteed to be a starting QB for the Bills next year should he exercise his options (there is no issue of Orton trying to get out of his contract like in Dallas since he has the option).

But If the QB's next year are worse than the MEDIOCRE Orton, you are CRAZY if you think I won't complain.
