Orton is getting $5 Million this year, yeah he's a back-up QB

Re: Orton is getting $5 Million this year, yeah he's a back-up QB

What I'm saying is that I wasn't paying attention to who was available as a back up months ago. And unlike the guys who get paid millions to figure it out, I don't get to see these guys practice every day so it had no way of knowing just how bad the backup QB situation is. We have an epic cluster**** here and you're actually defending the people responsible and attacking me?

I thought you patrolled this board to ensure that people don't make baseless assumptions without evidence. Well, it seems that is exactly what you are hypocritically doing here if you have no idea what quarterbacks were available on the market. The Bills should have gotten "somebody," huh? Doesn't even matter if there wasn't really anybody all that good, eh? Just more evidence of the incompetent front office, you say?

All this based on zero knowledge you have apart from the fact that the other QBs shat the bed in training camp and preseason, which is basically hindsight. Congratulations. They've been TRYING to get Orton, but that doesn't matter? They got him, too. But you'd rather *****, and that does not surprise me whatsoever. You're trying to apply everything that happens to your preconceived notion, it seems to me...doesn't even matter if you have an inkling of the particulars

Re: Orton is getting $5 Million this year, yeah he's a back-up QB

That's such a lame response. If your'e going to ***** about the situation tell us who you'd of signed. There was only garbage available and you know it.

All we had was garbage.

All of you who are defending the FO deserve the losing. Other teams find ways to improve, but when it comes to the Bills, last year's back up is good enough to start or there is no one available or the only guys available are too expensive. There'd is always some BS.

So we stay the same or regress as the div and the league improve around us.

Then next year, the same FO will make the same stupid decisions and the same posters will defend them and we'll get the same ****ty results on the field.

Yeah, how dare I make the assumption that our FO is capable of evaluating talent and realizing that we had crap for backup QB. So baseless to assume competence....

Well, being that there's no IV drug users or homosexuals in my family, the likelihood of contracting it is astronomically low. You seem affected by it though...have/had any friends from the Castro District?

Because I'm not an insensitive ****in ******* I seem infected by it ? I don't know where the Castro District is, but I do know that you wouldn't be man enough to go there and spew your bull****, or anywhere else, besides behind the safety of your computer screen.

I hope we win, the losses have been weighing on many of us for years. It's been so long since we had a playoff season, much less a chance at a championship. Pray for a good owner.

I sincerely hope that Manuel proves all the blow hards terribly wrong. It will be great to serve you jerks up some fresh crow to choke on.

I'd love to choke, it's just more likely that our coaches didn't know how bad our QB's have been until it's too late. Sound familiar, like 10 years running?

lol, dude you crack me up...I said affected, not infected. I'll leave that alone though.

Also, what's insensitive about saying "X player is worse than AIDS?" I mean, do you go out of your way to be offended by things that supposedly don't apply to you or your family? AIDS doesn't affect anybody here, but EJ Manuel does. His play is reminiscent of AIDS...progressively worsening and untreatable

Backpedal any way you want, what you have written is wrong. Would it be right if you wrote X player is worse than cancer, or X player is worse than Lou Gehrig's Disease ? If you think a player in a game is worse than a fatal disease, then you have a serious problem. If you think that it's funny, maybe you ought to rethink it. I'm not trying to be an *******, but just think how you would feel if you read that and had someone close to you that had died from that disease.

I do get offended when people show such insensitivity to something that is so serious, if it has or hasn't affected personally.

Maybe your sensitive little pansy ass should go whine somewhere else. You're *****ing up the boards. Maybe start a Michael Sam fan club.

Here's a news flash, Shirley, he wasn't talking about you, nor anyone you know, and the words he used are simply pixels on a screen. The have no sharp edges. They don't have the capacity to explode. If you're wounded by them, blame your own delicate sensibilities or the mean boys who stole your lunch money every week. If hyperbole injures you, it's because you let it.

All you do is whine about what other people post, like a little *****. Get a life.

lolwut? You clearly said infected--you should at least have the decency to cop to your mistake or admit to how funny it was, given the context of our conversation. Could you do me a solid (nh) and not be such a puss? I dind't say he was worse than ALS, cancer, or any other disease that predominantly normal people get.

Hmmmmmmmmm. Should I follow anonymous posters that, most likely, have not ever gotten closer to Manuel than the stands....or give the situation a little more time to develop this year, like not just exhibition games.

Gee...that's tough...internet blowhards, or professional NFL coaches and players. Oh, dear, I just don't know who to believe!

Personally I don't care what you believe, I've been tearing into our QB choices for years now. All of sudden it just became important to the team, you can verify that easy enough. I can only say that I have an athletic past & EJ is not balanced when he throws. The other guys we had were chopped liver compared to EJ, shouldn't of never even saw the field.

Orton is the best QB today the Bills have. I want to win now & draft a project QB next year, Orton can hold us over.
