Re: Start Orton Now

I still maintain that the Bills completely screwed up the entire process of growing a young QB.

The day they drafted him.

Re: Start Orton Now

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.

That's the discouraging thing. He could of had a huge game if he could of hit open receivers. The opportunities were there to take a big step forward and he didn't.

Re: Start Orton Now

Tb had their ass handed to them in Atlanta. Mccowen wasn't gonna be pulled unless hurt. He was an glen on came in. So in a game a lot closer in buffalo, to think orton is coming in is absurd. If that's what you were rooting for, you haven't watched a lot of football

ej needs to be more accurate. The bills also can't offset every play with yards with a penalty. A lot what was called should be called. We are aiming for 8-8. This team on average should get there.

Re: Start Orton Now

I was irate when we drafted EJ but like most homer NFL fans I'm willing to give a guy a chance, as implausible as the chances are.

EJ is a hopeless piece of trash. He probably wouldn't even make a CFL roster.

Orton ASAP.

Unlike EJ, he has a functioning brain and an arm that can put the football where he wants it to go.

Re: Start Orton Now

He never should have had to start from day one. Kolb going down completely screwed up the entire process. I personally thought that he was a guy with a very high upside, but a guy who was not NFL ready from day one. He's a guy that would have really benefited greatly from sitting for a year or two.

What do you think they should of done?

Re: Start Orton Now

Orton will only see the field if EJ gets hurt or somehow the Bills end up 2-6 into the bye.

There was nothing wrong with the pick, it made sense. It's the way they handled it after he was drafted that sucked.

You guys are out of your minds.

Re: Start Orton Now

If EJ completed half the incomplete passes that were horrendous throws, that's a different ballgame.

Re: Start Orton Now

MST delusional EJ supporter. We know what we are going to get with EJ. He's going to be terrible and not score any points. Orton may do the same, but we can't get worse so let's see what he's got. EJ can ride the pine and try to get his **** together in the meantime. Even though, he probably won't.

This is the new NFL, teams don't do that anymore, nor should they.

You learn by playing, not by holding a clipboard.

Do not bench EJ.

Re: Start Orton Now

I've been pretty quiet about the whole EJ thing. I'm pretty much like a normal fan in that I think he's not very good, but hey, it's early.

Well, I've come to the realization that he stinks, and whatever he needs to "get it" is going to take a while.

We've got a guy on the bench who's got NFL experience. There isn't another team that EJ would be starting on in the NFL, and I agree that unlikely any CFL team for that matter.

Get him off the field. It sucks watching my team with this guy out there.

Re: Start Orton Now

Are you wrongly implying that every situation is exactly the same? If you watched the guy in college and have any scouting experience, it was paid fully obvious that he's ultra-talented, but was not NFL ready. If Kolb doesn't get hurt, Manuel doesn't play last year, whether you like it or not. By the way, Johnny Manziel says hi.

This is the new NFL, teams don't do that anymore, nor should they.

Re: Start Orton Now

He's definitely playing like ****, but it's too early to give up on the guy. I still maintain that the Bills completely screwed up the entire process of growing a young QB.

ahhh bull****. They need to give up on him if they want to win more than 6 games. He should have been sitting and learning from the beginning. I said if he plays right away the Bills will ruin him and it's turning out just that way. He needed to sit for a year, at least. Cousins sat for two years and he is tearing it up in Washington. Sitting and waiting until he is actually ready is the best thing for him and the team. They can still rectify their mistake but I fear they are too stubborn to admit it.

EJ's human and needs to be loved... Just like everybody else does.
