bmur66 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I was surprised Coach didn't pull Orton with 3 minutes left and let EJ mop it up. Kind of risky to leave your starting QB out there with the game in hand and thing getting a little "chippy". Would have been a nice bone to throw EJ too.
YoloinOhio Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I thought he might get in too on the last series, but I also think Orton needs as many game reps with the offense as possible with all the time missed up front. Could be why he was still in at the end.
filthymcnasty08 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) He goes 3 for 3 in mop up duty ...and this board is in a full blown qb controversy Edited October 27, 2014 by filthymcnasty08
The Wiz Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 He goes 3 for 3 in mop up duty ...and this board is in a full blown qb controversy So the state that it's usually in you mean.
Nanker Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 At this point of his career EJ should just be content to mop up the sweat off his brow after several intense study sessions with the playbook.

No. EJ shouldn't ever see the field for us again. Cut his ass in the offseason, draft a guy worth a damn in the 2nd and let him sit. EJ has shown he does NOT have it in the NFL. Same issues in HS, to College now to the pros. Is issues you just can't change At this point of his career EJ should just be content to mop up the sweat off his brow after several intense study sessions with the playbook. To finish your post...."on another team"
PromoTheRobot Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Bills were backed up too far to risk a fumble by EJ on the snap. Edited October 27, 2014 by PromoTheRobot
truth on hold Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I was wondering same during the game. But then I thought they wouldn't want to send any signals this wasn't Orton's team, maintain a clear separation. And like some have said Orton still needs the reps
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Bills were backed up too far to risk a fumble by EJ on the snap. It's funny how you go from being patient with EJ to acting like he is the worst QB in NFL history.

I was just giving a possible explanation. I thought EJ was going in too. Touchy, are we? Edited October 27, 2014 by PromoTheRobot

We normally agree but I think it's ok to point out there are still some issues with the offense. There is a ton of room for improvement.
Mr. WEO Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 He can mop up the champagne off the floor of the locker room after the Bills win the SB with Keanu Orton at the wheel!
DanInUticaTampa Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I wasnt expecting that. Orton needs more experience with the offense.

No, that would be a slap in the face to a QB who was recently replaced. In his mind I suspect Marrone still hopes Manuel will turn into a starting QB and did not want to treat him as a backup by putting him in to handoff a few times.

Admittedly, I've been hard on Marrone. But if he is telling Manuel behind the scenes that he still believes in him and wants him to grow as a QB, I would respect that.
PastaJoe Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 They don't trust him to mop up since he left water on the mat Kolb slipped on.

BmarvB Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I thought so too. No way were the Jets coming back so why not let him hand the ball off a few times?

But if he is telling Manuel behind the scenes that he still believes in him and wants him to grow as a QB, I would respect that. Yeah there was some article about EJ sympathizing with Geno and telling him to keep his head up. The article said EJ is gaining confidence each week behind the scenes. Personally I still hope he gets a shot and makes the most of his opportunity. He seems like a hell of a good guy, I know that doesn't make you a good QB, but its hard not to root for people like him Why would we give a mop to our players ? To clean up the Jets tears of course
