The Case for Kyle Orton

[IrateBearsFan]

We wouldn't have needed a thrilling victory if we had a decent quarterback because we would have blown out the Bungles.

If we had our own "Carson Palmer" caliber quarterback it would have been over early.

how many dropped passes by denver?

[mx_stiles13]

I second that.

Run along and find something else to do. You people need to quit acting like you have sand in your buttcrack all the time. It's UNBELIEVABLE that we won the game and everyone is acting like we just lost 12 in a row.

Get over yourselves.

Orton is the QB for the year, barring injury, and Coach is the coach, no matter how much you may want it to change. Get used to it. Should you not be able to, I'd suggest a new waste of time to you.

Praising a below average quarterback isn't a waste of time?

And STOP putting down posters who don't agree with you as if they are against the team. I love the direction the team is headed in, other than the quarterback position.

you like holding penalties? dropped balls? conservative D?

There is no discussion needed for common sense.

"Commonsense" is a half-assed way of dodging the question. These forums are built around discussion. How does one convey this "commonsense" without backing it up?

I don't like Cutler but at least he'd take advantage of the entire field.

who didn't get a chance to touch the ball this week?

[Tarquin]

who didn't get a chance to touch the ball this week?

Very good point. I know for a fact that he threw (multiple times mind you) at the following:

Gaffney
Stokley
Marshall
Royal
Hillis
Moreno
Jordan
Buckhalter
Graham
Sheffler

And there are some I am forgetting.

Good point!

I guess what Styles means by "taking advantage of the whole field" would include throwing across his body and including the other team's DB's as his receivers.

I'll put down anyone that is quite obviously venturing into forums beating their chest putting down other posters.

Get over yourself. If you want to discuss, discuss.
If you want to put people down for their opinions and get completely rude with people, then go to Talkin' Smack.

This isn't just directed at you, its directed at everyone that thinks they need to post in every thread why everyone else is an idiot and they themselves are right.

Right back at you. Can't wait to see Cutler go up against the Steelers. Man, I'm pretty pumped. To the Smack section it is!

A lot of people are complaining about the sack Orton took, but I personally was happy to see that rather than another left handed pass!

He totally could have muscled a ball lefty in there.

You are talking to me about this? I have been insulted over and over and have tried my best not to stoop to that level. I just think we can do much better than Kyle Orton.

you could do a heck of alot worse too. Orton has talent to drive the ball with the right tools. I think we've got the right tools, but they have to show up to play. I didn't see Brandon Marshall or Knowshon Moreno show up to play yesterday. I saw a couple of peeps wearing those numbers though.

Like I said, not directed solely at you.

You like to talk about common sense. Didn't common sense tell you that your post of:

Doesn't change the fact that Orton wouldn't start on many other teams (arguably all of them) in the league.

would probably would stir stuff up?


Again, its like the bad kid in class that when the attention gets on him, he says "Oh, I didn't mean it like thaaaaat!"

You knew what you were doing. I took issue with it. I told you how I felt, you told me how you felt, and now were done.
