26CornerBlitz Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Which backups delivered? Quote In this week's QB Index, Gregg Rosenthal ranks the backups that were called upon to fill in this season. Kyle Orton: Most of the names below have more talent. Some are better bets for the rest of the season. But no backup has been more valuable with more surprising panache than Orton. He wasn't even in the league until Aug. 29, showing how overrated training camp can be. (That's the most Orton thing to do possible.) Orton has been far from flashy, but he's provided competent play highlighted by quick decisions and the occasional flash of brilliance. While his performance against Kansas City was a bad omen, Orton is exactly what teams want in a backup. He hasn't been the problem. Can a team win a ring with a backup?
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 YES see Jeff Hostetler if you are asking me if Orton can do it I say doubtful
