You know, I voted Orton, but as someone who has not been impressed with EJ (even in the games we won) I think we need him to stay in and get better. Orton would be a band-aid. Giving EJ time and experience in hopes that he eventually turns the corner might be frustrating right now but would be our best chance at seeing things get better for this team down the road.

You don't bench EJ until he puts 5-6 games like this together in a row. As long as he is showing steps you play him.

Waiting till the season is over is precisely the time not to plug in Kyle Orton. You play him in Detroit after a bad game next week or not at all.

BuffOrange for the win.

 

I want to win guys, sorry.

Plus, I think EJ needs to learn from a veteran. Remember he was a "project"? The guy with the highest ceiling???

So you're mad because he smiled because Woods doesn't look for the ball? Jesus get a grip. Seriously this is idiotic

 

 

 

Nah I'm not an idiot, just giving my opinion. I know the defense gave up long scoring drives and that's not on EJ but when the ball was in his hands he was inaccurate with his passes. If a teams running game isn't getting it done a franchise QB has got to be able to put the team on his shoulders to win the game. Right now EJ can't... Just a simple difference in what I would like too see in my franchise QB and what you would...

You people make me want to hang myself with a bed sheet.

I have a feeling at this rate that the idiot thread for DC Tom may see a huge drop in the number of people he hasn't called an idiot yet....

Way too early, IMO. It was not a good game for him but certainly not bench-worthy. He left plays on the field he can learn from. Lots of blame to go around as usual after a loss. Move forward and win this week; lots of areas to improve upon, clearly. I had a feeling this was going to be a loss but had high hopes we could get it done at home. Time to bounce back.

If you want to make the playoffs each game must be treated like gold. We no longer have the luxury to wait to find out if EJ is an nfl qb. Orton shoild step in immediately.

I wouldn't start Orton against Houston, but I would certainly have a quick hook for EJ for the reason you just articulated. The rest of this team is ready to win now.

then the rest of the team needs to play like it too. There was no shortage of players who did not play well today. There is a lot of talent, but they need to step it way up in several areas. This was a very good team but it was a winnable game had they played to their potential.

If Orton is the better QB now, then he should play. I have no idea whether this is the case, but the team is decent enough in other areas where we should play whomever is going help the team win now and not next year.

The team is 2-1 with a winnable game at Houston next week. You make ZERO sense.

As far as playing Orton, I don't think we're there yet. He's still been on the team barely a month, and before today EJ's been ok. Although, a couple repeats of today's performance and I'll be singing a different tune.

Can somebody tell me exactly why Orton is so much better than EJ...I mean an actual fact based response...

I know. There is no way EJ has played bad enough to lose the starting job after one loss this year. Gimme a break..

 

If EJ sucks game after game then its different. But he has to play for the time being without question. Benching him now would be completely crazy and would also ensure that the entire coaching staff would get fired at the end of the year.
