Does anyone want to re-sign Orton?

[IlluminatusUIUC]

I heard Eric Wood say he is not only neighbors with Orton but the two of them are good friends, go golfing & hunting together.

I think that played a large role in Orton signing with the Bills.

At least he's not crazy enough to go hunting with EJ. If he aims at a whitetail you've got no idea where those shots are going to end up.

[mightysimi]

If he finishes the season playing as well as he is right now, playoffs or not, I think he declines the option but re-signs at a higher price. There aren't too many places in the league where he might get a shot at starting other than Buf. Maybe NYJ but they are a mess. Where else could he go?

[The Doc]

I want to resign Orton but I think Ortons camp would hold out till the end of the season while he increases his value.

I think it would be prudent to wait until the end of the season anyway to resign Orton.

I don't. Let's let it play out and get a long term deal done with then. I believe in Orton. I'm a huge fan. I believe a long term deal will get done. But remember that long term deal we signed with Fitz because we didn't want to be prudent?

[starrymessenger]

I got the ban from BBMB for saying EJ sucked.

I do remember.
I couldn't figure out where you got the energy to repeat the obvious to some of those folks after you became a lightning rod for attack by the fanboys (who have since been quelled).
BTW your boy Bortles looks pretty good to me.

[User Manuel]

Unlike what we did with Fitz we should keep the guy who gives us a chance to win now until something better comes along. If Manuel had legitimatly beat him out, so be it, but we wee in such a rush to anoint EJ w killed ourslf I the process. Worst case scenario is he gets beat out. I'd rather have 2 good QBs then none.

Orton has done nothing for me to believe he should be replaced and he has a chemistry and relationship and gets the Ball to Watkins

[YardRat]

The funniest thing about reading this thread is that everyone seems to have forgotten the single biggest factor in the equation.

Everyone's still thinking like Bills fans, circa 1960-2013.

We will extend Orton because...

Terry Pegula.

Plenty of cap space.

Cash to cap is an obsolete term here now.

Take a deep breath. Exhale. Enjoy it.

There's a new paradigm, errr Sheriff, in town.

I wouldn't bet real money on that if I were you.

I don't think anybody was in 'a rush' to anoint EJ, but unfortunate circumstances (at the time) dictated it.

Extend him. Manuel is not the answer.

Orton = better than you all thought.

Manuel = worse than you all thought.

[Bill Cody]

Extend him. Manuel is not the answer.

Orton = better than you all thought.

Manuel = worse than you all thought.

Orton = pretty much what I thought, a journeyman
Manuel = pretty much what I thought, green and not very accurate

EJ wasn't anointed to anything. He wasn't supposed to be the starter year one... became that player due to injury and had the offseason starter role going into camp. Orton wasn't on the roster

original plan was kolb i actually think that plan with EJ grooming would have worked well enough

The question should be:

Does Orton still want to play under Doug Marrone? You know Saint Doug.

Maybe he'll stay if management promises to replace the ****ty coaches (sans Jim Schwartz, of course).

You pay Dareus. You pay Orton.

Orton got himself a nice deal from the Bills. He plays well he can parlay that into a big contract from the Bills or someone else. If he plays like last night he just plays out his existing deal setting aside cash for an early retirement. $5m goes a long way in western New York.
