Discuss. That is actually giving him more credit. Those guys are much better than Orton at this point.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 this is fantasy crap rankings and doesn't take into account actual winning charachteristics And it's just for week 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm trying to read between the lines but are you saying that Orton is a QB who doesn't know how to throw a football? I mean he really can't throw a football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Any list that has RG3 ahead of Phillip Rivers is DEEPLY flawed... In my opinion that is all that needs to be said. You must read the Washington Post regularly or listen to all the frustrated, very fickle Redskin fans who, if Griffin has a great game Sunday and the Redskins win, will hit Reverse on the bandwagon.

I will take everyone of them above Orton But for a week 16 fantasy football option you might take orton over an injured rivers playing sf while missing Allen at wr. That doesn't mean ortons a better player. of anything that it takes that many qualifiers to get them grouped together speaks volumes about the gap.

PromoTheRobot Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 It is a fantasy football list specifically for the upcoming week. It is based on how many fantasy points each QB is going to get. Kinda important details about the list you are missing promo. But it supports your blind homer-ism so go for it Hey, all I did was throw out there to discuss. You made it about being a homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Not according to the total QBR 27th of 30th qualifying QB's http://espn.go.com/nfl/qbr This one fits the eyeball test. I'm not being critical here. My opinion: Orton has given us the best year (well, 3/4 of a year if he finishes o.k.) the Bills have had out of any QB since Drew Bledsoe. Which is of course as much a commentary on the succession of failed QBs we've had as it is praise of Orton. When we signed him I said Orton was probably the 30th best QB in the world (there being 32 teams), and I still think that's true. Better, not exactly good enough for anyone to be satisfied ... but better than what we've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Maybe if someone buys Sammy some new shoes Orton can hit him. Orton has shown some flashes. Maybe he gets back on track against Oakland. It might help if Sammy didn't quit on his routes ....which he has been occasionally doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Not according to the total QBR 27th of 30th qualifying QB's http://espn.go.com/nfl/qbr Go to their regular stats page and rearrange the stats to rank them by yards-per-attempt, which is generally a good measure of the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of a team's passing game. Orton is 31st of 34 qualifying QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Too many people living in fantasy land. It's becoming bigger than the actual game and I don't get it. Hey I do it (one league- I think being in multiple leagues is where it gets excessive) but I agree that fantasy football has made everyone a casual fan and self-proclaimed expert when fewer and fewer people actually sit down and enjoy a good game for what it is anymore. It is really sad. I always took notice that on Monday mornings at my last job it was never "hey did you see that Packers-Vikings game go down to the wire?" It was always, "if Larry Fitzgerald would've had just one more catch I would've won my fantasy matchup." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) He still can't throw a football, just like every other qb on our roster. It really scares me that our GM keeps bringing in QBs who don't know how to Throw a football. Isn't that counterproductive? I mean...a QB who doesn't know how to throw a football? If you look around the league this is a common problem. The league has a lack of good QBs. There are about 8 really good ones and the rest nothing to write home about. NFL is a QB league and if you don't have a top QB you better have an awesome defense like the 2000 Baltimore Ravens.

Chef Jim Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's fabulous for the league, makes boatloads of money for the NFL, sports bars, NFL sponsors, and is loved by millions and millions of fans, both serious and casual.

Alphadawg7 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 http://sports.yahoo.com/news/week-16-rankings--quarterbacks-151730734.html Kyle Orton #18, in the same range as Tannehill, Dalton, Alex Smith and Phil RIvers. Discuss. Lmao did you think no one would notice that this is a low end writers Fantasy Football rankings? More pathetically is how low Orton is rated considering he's playing the Raiders where just about any QB playing Raiders is usually ranked at least in the top 10. That's how crappy Orton is, he can't even be above average against the Faiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted William's frozen head Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 10.4! Gotta love bs stats and rankings. The eye ball test is all anyone ever really needs to make a true list that fits reality. Exactly. That's why EJ's stats are misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
