HOUSE Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Kyle Orton holds out in Dallas, is waived and pockets 3 million. The Bills beg him to come to Buffalo, he refuses then Doug Whaley raises the offer. He now receives 5 million per season plus he then pockets the 3 mil from Dallas, Total 8 million for the year!! The Bills waive 3 backup quarterbacks then bench the starter after week #4, just as predicted by many.... Buffalo offense is loaded with some of the best Wide Receivers in the NFL and all he really needs to do is look better then EJ Manuel who was dreadful.....Is this really impossible ? ? The Bills have a dynamic running attack so Orton can still WIN in bad weather as the DEFENSE holds most teams to minimum points. It just so happens he signs with a team where the fans have completely forgotten what a real quarterback looks like...so if he passes for over 300 yards....... he receives the key to the city and fan worship......maybe his own TV show. "Sir Kyle Orton and his Merry Men" Must be nice .......... ... Edited October 5, 2014 by HOUSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 it was his goal all along to play as a starter. He knew he'd never start for Dallas with Romo, so he walked into a sweet deal, and good for him if he plays well. We'll see. He's played with some bad teams, except one year with a good defense with the Bears. Even then, he didn't have much for receivers, and running backs. Again, that was many years ago. If he could be anything close to Alex Smith, we'll turn this team around. If not, we'll suck again as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 He'd be luckier if the Bills had a better OL. But I doubt if he's feeling like complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 the only thing luckier would have been if e.j. actually played well. then orton could just chill on the bench. Going the Van Pelt route would have made him happy for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I've seen photos that lead me to believe Orton gets lucky a lot. (Having said that, pulling a guard or two out of a hat would be the ultimate trick - and it would have to be a very large hat!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Perhaps. He made a calculated move to get out of Dallas and keep his cash, the Bills needs worked out well for him . Timing wise it couldn't have been better. As for on the field, the Bills do have some talented wideouts and a big ( though slow) tight end. The running game is not really dynamic, though. In fact it seems overrated by Bills fans. They hardly ever get big runs on first down and struggle in short yardage. Those are not hallmarks of a dominant O line. The best running teams are effective in those situations, when the D knows what is coming and can't stop it. So I wouldn't be too giddy about the Bills running game. That may change if Orton is able to hit intermediate routes effectively, our run struggles may have had a lot to do with EJ. That will bear itself out over the next several games. Yes Orton is a lucky guy. As the saying goes.. luck is where opportunity meets preparation. Hopefully he is prepared enough to steer this season back on the course it was headed after the first two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I disagree with some of the best WRs in the NFL part though. Plus, he'll be protected by a porous OL and have no legitimate RB besides a 34 year-old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilLions Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 OL will make him feel not so lucky. May save EJs career. But it is good $ in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artmalibu Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I hope he left the bottle of Jack at home! I bet Orton knows he has his chance of a lifetime right now. Also he knows that their will not be another chance. For a guy that has been kicked around this is the chance for the the kickers is kiss his ass.

For a guy that has been kicked around this is the chance for the the kickers is kiss his ass. I hope you're right. I just wonder about why he didn't just go to the Cowboy's camp and collect his money. If he wanted a chance, saying you're going to retire seems like an odd way of showing it. Is he sly enough to wait for the best scenario? Maybe. Does he really love the game, or does he already have enough to be happy? And we just gave him more. I hope he loves it and makes the most of this enormous opportunity! And, of course, wins Super Bowl MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing EJ in preseason it was a safe bet that he would get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 According to news reports from Dallass he and Romo did not get along. Probably Romo's sensitivity to his drafted position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
