26CornerBlitz Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Can Kyle Orton be like Andy Dalton? By Matthew Coller Whenever a new quarterback is thrust into a starting role – one that is not considered the next Manning, Brady or Rodgers – the question is: Can this QB lead Team X to the playoffs? Ten years ago, you might have heard, “If Trent Dilfer could win a Super Bowl…” meaning that Dilfer was the baseline for the worst possible NFL quarterback that a team could win with. Today, the comparison is a little different, but with the same theme in mind. “Can he be their Andy Dalton?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 With the right supporting cast, definitely, possibly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB3 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Can he be an average QB who chokes in big games? Sure, why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I always thought EJ would turn out to be like Dalton. Big but not terribly mobile, strong arm but not that accurate. Wins more than loses, but not a good fantasy pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Um, Andy Dalton has beaten Orton's career high in tds in 2 of his 4 years and was one off he other year and has 5 games this year. Plus he like 5 years younger. Dalton >> Orton Edited November 28, 2014 by C.Biscuit97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Can Kyle Orton be like Andy Dalton? I think he is better than Dalton except mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I think he is better than Dalton except mobility. On another subject, what's up with your boy Kaep? He's looking pretty bad these days. Edited November 28, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthymcnasty08 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 All he has to be is Trent Dilfer. Our OL needs to keep up the improvements and Freddie needs to stay healthy for passing down blitz pickups/screens. Our D will supply us with stops, turnovers and intimidation. These things together supply us with all we need to win out…..just limit the costly mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this unit can at least be decent in both the run game and pass pro since the tougher defensive fronts are already in the rear view mirror.

Cleveland Rocks? Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Stats are for losers. Losers like Dalton. He has entire games where he doesn't even show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Stats are for losers. Losers like Dalton. He has entire games where he doesn't even show up. True but he's already had a better career than Kyle Orton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstealer Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 His throws to Woods-- a third down late in the pocket throw, the earlier back shoulder, and the TD toss were all-pro reads. He's a professional NFL quarterback who knows very well the players and coaches he's competing against. We're lucky to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 True but he's already had a better career than Kyle Orton. Without AJ Green he would look like a poor man's Kelly Holcomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
