    Orton is a game manager who protects the football.

    That's all this team needs to fight for the final playoff spot. That's all the needed last year for that matter.

    This was a 6-10 team with some completely inept QBing. Average NFL QB play would have gotten this team 2 more victories last year...KC and Cle. After that who knows what happens to pick you up another victory or 2.

    The only QB out there worth signing. I'll take it.

    Re: Bills sign Kyle Orton

    So EJ's accuracy is not good enough. He completed 58.8% of his passes last year. Orton's career is 58.4%.

    But he will lead us to the promised land!!

    Orton's career Int % is 2.6%. EJ last year was 2.9% as a rookie.

    Your theory does not seem factual

    Re: Bills sign Kyle Orton

    He immediately becomes the best QB on the roster since Drew Bledsoe. How sad is that. Can't figure out why this team hasn't been to the playoffs since 1999...???

    The last year Orton was a full time starter his INT % was 1.8%

    Even still, his TD% for career is higher, his INT% is lower, his rating is higher, his sack% is lower, his YPA is higher, his record as a starter is better. The only thing EJ has, for now, is completion percentage...and that he can run better. Although EJ isn't exactly a weapon running the football. Since you want to go by just stats.

    Re: Bills sign Kyle Orton

    if we are going to do this right we need to think up witty mean nicknames for each qb and use them to insult each other for the next four months

    So Orton improved since his rookie year and EJ won't?

    This is my biggest problem with the people who do nothing but ***** about Manuel. They don't want to compare him to what other guys did as rookies.It is ****ing stupid
