    OK second time, counting the Bucs game last season. No way you give up on your first round QB in fewer than 16 games he plays. You develop the kid you can't give up on him.

    Steelers game last year was terrible. I agree though. Give him the rest of the year. If we don't see dramatic improvement in accuracy by the end of the season they need to make new plans next year

    *****ing about EJ is understandable! Calling for Orton is not!

    They can bench him and still bring him back at a later time when he figures some things out in practice. The guy is not ready to start, let him watch Orton for a while.

    I don't want to see Orton but the high throws to the receivers from EJ is not safe.

    They are in a bad spot.
    Play EJ = no playoffs and you're fired.
    Play Orton = you blew it with EJ and so you're fired.
    Sort of like the Fitz dilemma all over again.

    It's the price you pay for drafting a total reach, then making matters worse by spending next year's number one and this year's number one on a WR when you have a crappy QB.

    They gambled, they lost. Now they pay.

    Putting all their chips on the EJ square was pretty foolhardy.
    Its a shame really. This is a pretty talented team.

    23/39 238 1 TD 0 INT

    ^ Good stat line example of why stats don't tell the whole story, especially for QBs. Not horrible numbers but if you watched the game, you would know that EJ was beyond horrible.

    Re: Start Orton Now

    One loss is not good enough and can be forgivable, still only one almost turnover and a few bad passes. I am still not convinced St. Kyle could have done better with this O Line.
