Orton was a likable figure when you were rooting for him during the year. but seeing how it all played out in the end and when and how he retired...he really just came off like a temp worker. didn't care, just wanted to get paid. that slide in denver was telling.
He never really seemed to care one way or the other. it seems like he never wanted that chance to be a starting qb, he wanted to collect two years at $5MM. and the idea of playing another season was too much.
that kind of sucks. usually the journeyman always wants to prove he's better than what people have him pegged for. rarely do they end up being exactly who we thought they might be. hired help.
