Thread: Really, Orton?

"Talked to Orton in the locker room. He declined to talk about Tebow's 2 starts. "I don't comment on other guys' play," Orton said."

At least try to hide your bitterness Kyle.

Don't comment on other guys' play? Yeah, I'm sure you've never commented on Lloyd's amazing play this year that helped you keep your job as long as you did.

Well now people can begin to connect the dots some of the Orton critics have made about him.

Some critics say he cowers and closes up when the game is close. Apparently he does when he isn't the starter as well.

He is who we thought he was. He will make sure he is a malcontent going forward.

Kyle Orton's success, if you can call it that with 3 wins on his belt for this season, has him believing he deserves to be the unquestioned starter. He will do everything he can to make sure he gets a ticket out of town.

Kyle. I will certainly miss your phantom sacks and dump offs to RB's due to pressure that almost gets your RB killed.

I used to at least respect his professionalism. Now I think he just sucks all the way around.

It doesn't matter. He'll ask for a trade in the offseason.

He won't have to ask, they're already prepared to trade him IMHO or they'll be cutting his ass from the roster after June 1st.

Just admit it was a shitty remark, Top. Good grief.

No meaning needed, top. What else would one take from that?

I know you like the guy but at some point even a person such as yourself would have to admit it is a bit dooshish of Orton to act that way.

I think Orton believes he's an elite QB. Which is laughable. No matter where he goes he will be pushed by someone because he is not a franchise QB. He's a mediocre starter/game-manager/stop-gap.

He must read some of his groupies posts.

I just don't have a tendency to take one-liners and make a big deal of them
because I admit that I do not always know specifically what they meant.

So if there is any admitting to do, then that ought to be it, IMO . . .

Please. You are one of the most opinionated people here - absolutely no offense intended in that statement.

Shall we review his comments over the past two years re: other players' performance? There are probably 1,000's of examples. It's VERY clear what he means by that statement.

Sheesh. The guy might not have anything nice to say and he doesn't have anything nice to say he shouldn't say it at all. I'm glad he is keeping his mouth shut on this.

I didn't mind him saying he felt he deserves to start, but that comment just sounds bitter. I hope he's just upset at losing his job and realizes he's being a douche about it and comes around.

Either way, he's not going to be here next year, but I would have expected him to leave professionally. No one likes being replaced but he himself said it's a business and there's always competition.

He wanted to say something bad, and decided to say nothing at all.

Put yourself in his shoes. You have one of the best years of your career, then get benched for a rookie and the rookie excels. It's an unfortunate situation for him. He didn't bring it upon himself, and he can't really control the fact that the team sucks and has to move on to Tebow, but of course he is going to feel negatively toward the whole thing.

At least he decided not to say anything.

LOL at Top playing stupid. He has too much pride on the line to admit that he could have possibly have been wrong about Orton. I guess some people just aren't capable of admitting when they are wrong.

I find no FACTS in such an off-hand, one-liner. I never have! Ever!

Now, you all go ahead and discuss what you think the guy meant with his
five-or-so worded remark and think that you are wise and I'm the fool. Fine.

Seriously - don't you find that remark a bit odd when he would freely, openly and constantly speak of "player's performance" while he was the starter and not now?

It's pretty black and white to me.

He didn't mind the competition when it was Chris Simms. He is sounding extremely bitter. Oh well, like I always say; Good bye Orton have fun reinforcing a different team's desire for a franchise QB.
