No Clay, and you of all people should know better.

His OER/NCOER's are near perfect. He also subsequently craps his trousers when the actual shootin' war starts (or he faces an actual pass rush, as the case may be). He is George McClellan.
We have seen this work out repeatedly, so who beat out whom in practice couldn't be less relevant. The guy is a fraud. He cannot be fixed. Tebow is clearly already a better option, with the only question being if can he actually be the guy. Neither you nor I nor anyone else actually knows that, but it would be kinda cool to find out. It might even be fun to watch. Watching Orton repeatedly assume the fetal position when faced with 5 or more pass rushers, or when hit with the force and power of an Angel's shrug is not fun.
