Kyle Orton on the Wall of Fame...yes or no?

Yes. I say there's good reason to have him up there.

 

* Name another Bills QB who had us on the brink of the playoffs in the last 12 years.

* 12 games played for 3018 yards (extrapolate those numbers to a full 16 games and we're talking 4000 yards in a full season)

* QBR of 87.8

* 15 rushes, 14 yards with a long of 10 yards in 12 games (extrapolate that to a full season and he would have easily had over 100)

* 18 TD's and 10 INT's is a ratio of 2 to 1...extrapolate that over a full season and he would have had 24 TD's

* Mental toughness and team leader

* If we had him as a rookie in 2005 he probably would have surpassed Kelly (or come close) if you extrapolate his stats from 2014 over the course of nine NFL seasons.

 

I'm not saying he is a lock to get a place on the stadium Wall of Fame, but the team should give full consideration to his credentials both as a player and team leader considering how he came in a led our team to its best record in a very long time.

Good god no.

 

A guy who didn't want to play football.

 

Came out of retirement because of $$

 

Then quit again.

 

God friggin no.

Football stats matter Dave. There's guys on that wall that were in it for money...and some have even served a prison sentence.

How long did he play for the Bills?

 

That is a rhetorical question. And that alone excludes him from the wall.

 

It would be an insult to the existing names on the wall.

 

Why not give everyone a participation trophy?

taylor had us a game out of the playoffs in week 16 of last year....... lets toss him name into the ring as well :doh:

 

It would be more reasonable to put Taylor on there right now - rather than Orton.

 

And putting Taylor there at this point would be insane.

Be honest. Is this thread some kind of joke? Sure smells like it.
