truth on hold Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 All by himself? Then based on just that one performance I'd still have to call him the greatest football player of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLbills Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I guess I understand this topic given the OP's user name, but, QB's don't beat teams; teams beat teams. Regarding Orton...no reason to rush to judgement. I have a tendency to look at it like the offense is a spoked wheel. Where the QB is the hub of the wheel, and all of the other players are the spokes in the wheel. If the hub is faulty (Manuel, hub under fabrication still) in any way, then the spokes can never be trued up (alleged locker room dissatisfaction with Manuel). It will be a rough ride. On the other hand, if the hub is in good working order (Orton / Manuel swap), then you can start to true the spokes up (chemistry, trust). As each spoke gets trued up, the ride will begin to smooth out (the current status of the offense, everybody seems to be behind it). Everything revolves around the hub. While I agree with you that it is a team effort, I feel that the majority of the responsibility rests with the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleman Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The game proved Orton is certainly no Brady, but I'm glad it was Orton instead of EJ. He is a big improvement over EJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Orton showed resilience again after an INT. He took some awful sacks which are his fault and not the OL's. But he almost got us back in the game. We can win with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjjr Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The passing game is better with Orton right now. The running game is not as good and the read option might have been good today to slow down that pass rush. The Bills are a passing team with Orton....
