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...???

Re: Bills sign Kyle Orton

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

Your theory does not seem factual

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

Re: Bills sign Kyle Orton

Are people really excited about Orton? Give me a break. He's a journeyman back up with skill set equivalent to Ryan Fitzpatrick. We are going to fall into this never ending cycle. We have a really bad qb and a below average qb will step in after an injury and play mediocre and we'll make him our franchise qb. Losman to Edwards. Edwards to Fitz. Manuel to Orton. When will this end? Woulda rather took a shot with Tebow. We know what we get with Orton and Tebow but at least I might be able to watch some entertaining football with Tebow.

You lost me at Tebow, who can't throw or read defenses or playbooks unfortunately.

Yeah, I admit I'm excited about Orton. His skill set is by no means equivalent to Fitzpatrick. It's just not.

That I'm excited about Orton is less a statement about Orton than it is about the QB situation before we signed him.

Re: Bills sign Kyle Orton

He will be a solid back up. However he hasn't been with this team through OTA's, mini camps, or training camp. He doesn't know the playbook yet and he's never thrown to any of our receivers! How much of an impact do some of you think he could possibly have any time soon??

Again.... I like it a lot more if we could have some how pried him from Dallas two months ago. But he can't possibly help this team on the field at all in the immediate future.

I just can't agree. If Manuel goes down in week one, he'll do better than Lewis, Tuel, or Palmer even if he only knows 3 plays, if not taking us to 16-0.
