There's no accounting for a fully functioning set of testicles, something Orton lacked.

 

I'm not so much concerned Orton lacked testicular functionality so much as confidence in the playcalling designed to get him killed. He was more than happy to stand in the pocket to make throws in the beginning, but then something stopped, and I saw less desire to stand tall and more desire to lay down so he could live to collect his money.

Am I the only one that is not enamoured with this signing?

 

No you are not. I'm getting a Larry Triplett-Derrick Dockery kind of feeling on this one.

Man, I don't know. Orton looked pretty bad toward the end of the season. He was flat out awful in the Miami game IIRC. Given his good start, I wonder if he just lost his arm. Good time for him to hang it up.

I feel like Marrone coached him down to play like garbage.

Thats how I felt and why he retired and started to play bad

 

He was over playing for a coach who just wanted him to keep the game close

 

Feel like he did that to ej and he was so confused with what to do

I still contend that he got Marrone'd, which neutered him, and he lost a lot of fire. I started saying it a little after halfway through the season, and it got worse and worse as the season went on.

That's the worst thing I've read all day that isn't Sabres related. I also think it's flat out wrong. This guy can and will play.

I'm increasingly curious how much of Marrone's personality neutered players. Noone ever gave me a reason for holding out Hughes at one point. Or the whole Mike Williams thing. Stuff that just never made immediate sense to me.

This is a fact. Orton played much differently out of the gate. Much more of a gunslinger. You could see his whole game and dynamic change as the season progressed. In the end, he was playing basically not to throw interceptions.

So'd EJ, for that matter. Both of them started out decently, then turtled fairly rapidly. The big difference is that it took EJ about three games to really fear for his life, whereas Orton lasted 5 or six.

I thought this was highlighted in the Raiders game. After we were down by a chunk, the metaphoric shackles seemed to come off and Orton had a string of plays where he ran around, avoided sacks and made plays. I remember thinking....where was this the last 8 games?

i was searching through zillow as i sometimes do and i found a nice house for Clay. i wonder if this is one of the ones he looked at when he was here:

 

http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/30-Brownstone-Ct-East-Amherst-NY-14051/84096675_zpid/

 

looks like it either is or was Eric Moulds' house. i'm guessing someone bought it and is trying to flip it. it shows it was bought it 2013 for just under $1 mil and now they have the "make me move" set to $2 mil
