If Orton gets injured...

Re: If Orton gets injured...

God forbid, but if Orton got knocked out of the KC game in the first quarter and EJ came in the game and threw for 2 tds and 250 yds and looked great in a Bills win, would you start him again the next week even if Orton had fully recovered from his boo boo?

If that's not enough 3 tds and 350 yds? 4 tds and 450 yds?

Or would you put Orton back in no matter how great EJ played?

Bring back JP LOSMAN!!!!!!

Re: If Orton gets injured...

Ridiculous. EJ's not throwing for 300 yards and multiple TDs. He had ample amount of opportunity to show he was capable of such feats and he didn't. EJ was mediocre in college, FSU was happy to have Winston in place of EJ, and EJ is not an NFL QB. Orton always has been an NFL QB. Those that look at his stats and say 'no, he used to suck' lack what's called critical thinking. Orton showed promise early on and has produced when he's had a solid team around him. Orton is our QB and EJ is a class act but he's not a QB.

EJ could very easily hit a couple of fly patterns to Sammy and wind up with a couple of tds and 250 yds. Not at all out of the realm, of possibility. Don't forget, EJ was the starter for 2 of the Bills 5 wins, and let's face it, was drafted in the first round to be the qb of the future. If you don't think Orton can take us to a SB and EJ has a game where he looks like he gets it, why wouldn't you give the kid a couple of more games to see him do his thing?

Fine, if EJ throws for 400 yards and 2+TDs in a romping win vs a god defense then... sure. He can start til we lose again or he proves he is constant enough to be the better QB.

Now is this just conversation, or is there some wierd point I have yet to grasp again?

I have to give you props for not being afraid to look stupid.

We need more of those, the board has enough smart people as it is...

Me look stupid? You're the one writing 'what if' scenarios that involve EJ playing well. Who's being ridiculous here?

To answer your question in a straightforward manner, Manuel hasn't shown any inkling that "he gets it" and, moreover, NFL defenses showed you that they figured him out. It took only 3 games. Everyone in the league now has a book on how to rattle and destroy FSU boy.

Re: If Orton gets injured...

Play both at the same time or alternate series.

Like Buddy Ryan playing Ron Jaworskion 1st and 2nd down then binging in Randell Cunningham in on 3rd down? This is why Rex is clueless about anything on the offensive side of the ball.

It's ridiculous to think that EJ will never play well? Is it really that bad? Even Losman had some good games. Is EJ worse than Losman?

Really setting the bar high here, aren't we? Your kind of shooting down your own argument.
