^ 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.Disclaimer: The sentiment expressed in this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only.

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.Originally posted by Novacane View PostWhat do you think they should of done?

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.

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."You can't be a real country unless you have beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need beer."

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.Originally posted by TacklingDummy View PostThis 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.
