    Can the Bills bench EJ before week 1?

    We have a much better chance of making the playoffs if Orton is the starter than this worthless bum and perennial loser, EJ Manuel. EJ was absolute crap in the 5 pre season games against 1st stringers and I'm absolutely sure he will crap out again in the regular season.

    I predict:

    13 - 3 if Orton plays the entire season
    4 - 12 if EJ plays the entire season

    You highly overrate Kyle Orton

    OK, who is the loser that doesn't have the balls to sack up and post under their existing username?

    If we cut EJ, not one other team would retain his services to start. Yet, he's great for our starting QB.

    It can't be refuted. It's a fact. Still doesn't change the fact that thread after thread about EJ sucking is past the point of ridicules. He is who we are stuck with for now.

    First, they'd have to own an initial set of balls.

    With Orton this is an 8-10 win football team with a shot of getting the 6 seed.

    With EJ this is a 5 win football team that's giving Cleveland a top 10 pick.

    It's in stone. Also our OC is about as old as Orton, so they should be able to communicate together at a better level than a ~24 year guy with bad footwork.

    I agree.

    This is sort of a dated analogy, but I can see this team being like the 2001 Bears if we get some stability at QB. We don't need Kyle Orton to be Peyton Manning, we just need him to be like 2001 Jim Miller.

    Miller didn't do anything great, he just quietly did his job, kept the offense in rhythm, and let the D create opportunities.

    If EJ crashes and burns (I'd prefer he just magically improve though), I think Orton can help us win games.

    Re: Can the Bills bench EJ before week 1?

    If Kyle Orton is THAT good, then why in the hell hasn't he started a single game since getting benched for....... wait for it.... TIM TEBOW!?

    I really like the signing. He's a solid vet that can manage a game for us. However to say that he can come in and win 13 games is profusely over rating the guy. He's on what... his 5th team?

    Again, solid back up. And yes.... better than EJ. But he's not the savior that's taking us to the playoffs.

    This thread is just silly. No NFL team would do this. I hope you're not serious.

    Was alcohol involved in this formulation?

    Seriously, I think with Orton this is an 8-8 or 9-7 team. With EJ its a 5-11 or 6-10 team.
