Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 We just looked different....different in a way that though Orton wasn't perfect, he delivered when he needed to. There was a confidence in the 4th quarter I have not seen or felt in a long time. We looked different because we finally had someone playing who resembled an NFL quarterback.

RuntheDamnBall Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 you are a rock head, stats don't mean jack, ej will never be good because of his accuracy issues get over it. Now here's a quarterback with accuracy you can count on. 53.2%. C'est magnifique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 We looked different because we finally had someone playing who resembled an NFL quarterback. Shouldn't this be expected from a guy with 10 years experience and 70+ starts to his credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I knew about Luck in his sophomore year when he was handing off to Gerhardt and no one was talking about him, but that's OK keep deluding yourself Oh good god, get over yourself. Someone hire the Barbarian, he knew Luck would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the win. Keep the mythology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 It's one on EJ's short resume is the point. With more pressure with them down 6 points where it's score a TD or go home a loser. It's very likely if the Broncos don't score, they'd lose, seeing as the other team only needs a FG. How long was Tebow's resume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Just because it's expected doesn't mean its not appreciated. The Bills are going to need him to be better than he was today. I'm hoping he will be moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Long enough for other teams to have figured him out" for $200, Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard for me to understand why this is a debatable point. Again, can't complain about the loss. Got to be happy with the major breaks (Megatron's general absence, the FG misses, Watkins making a bailout catch that, AGAIN, he did not make last week).

Rob's House Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Shouldn't this be expected from a guy with 10 years experience and 70+ starts to his credit? You're being pretty selective in your criteria. You give him credit for his experience but discount the fact that he's had all of a month to get acclimated. By contrast, you cite EJ'S lack of experience, but you discount the fact that this is his second year in this offense and that he had all summer and preseason to get in rhythm with his receivers.

Got to be happy with the major breaks (Megatron's general absence, the FG misses, Watkins making a bailout catch that, AGAIN, he did not make last week). People keep posting about 300 yards. Orton's YPA today was 7.16. That's less than EJ's in each of the 1st two games this season IIRC. He'll need to better as the season progresses. Better accuracy on the intermediate passes and no more staring down WRs for dreaded pick sixes. He's capable of better than that and we all hope he delivers.

Rob's House Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm sorry, are we including "Good Morning America" on that resume? His second to last NFL start was a playoff win against the Steelers where he threw for over 300 yds. Other teams getting film was not his downfall.

RuntheDamnBall Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Huh? Only having a month with this team was his choice, because he chose to sit out camp and spend the time with his family until he could get his release from the Cowboys. What's there to miss?

26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) You're being pretty selective in your criteria. You give him credit for his experience but discount the fact that he's had all of a month to get acclimated. By contrast, you cite EJ'S lack of experience, but you discount the fact that this is his second year in this offense and that he had all summer and preseason to get in rhythm with his receivers. I'll acknowledge that the lack of system and personnel familiarity is a mitigating factor, but that shouldn't be any impediment to accuracy and/or not looking off WRs by Orton. Who didn't expect EJ to be uneven and inconsistent regardless of this year's OTAs, mini-camp, TC, and preseason? I certainly did.
