How many games did he play here? LOL man you must be drunk.

 

It would be more appropriate to put Flutie on there before Orton.

I was just about to open a new thread to petition to get Lauvale Sape on the wall, but I might as well just tack it on here. Remember that crazy blocked punt he had in the 2005 preseason?

Guys, projected stats dont lie.

 

This is really such an easy call.

That's exactly what I've been saying. Even if you calculate an additional four games (wasted on EJ) and then re-extrapolate back to the Thad, Trent and Kolb years, you can conservatively assign Orton 4200 yds passing per season and anywhere from 25-30 TDs with 200-300 yds rushing. The fact that our front office failed to play him for those seasons between 2010-2013 isn't his fault. Guys here are just attacking him for having better stats during the last 15 years than any other team leader we've had at the helm.

10 pages really? For a guy who didn't show up till season started? for a guy who was here for 1 season? are you going to put every player who played 12 games on the wall?

 

STOP THIS IDIOCY!!!!!!!!!!

 

honestly people just haven't got any sense of judgement anymore.

Not saying he belongs in Canton. But it is called the "Wall of FAME" for a reason. "Fame" as in famous, well known, recognized for positive contributions. I would say having a winning season in the midst of a 17 year drought is the very definition of fame. You disagree. I respect that but his contribution to this team was a beacon of hope during a rather gloomy period of our franchise.

Guys, you have to look deeper than the surface here.

 

This guy was the face of the franchise for almost a whole season, and hes put up projected numbers that we havent seen here in decades.

 

Put personal feelings aside and look at the facts.

the only thing I can say good about orton was he came in and replaced EJ. he did a fair job but I lost all respect for him when going for the slide before the 1st down marker. it was gutless play and to me it told me he wasn't willing to take a hit for the team.

 

 

that said, he does not belong on the wof, period.

Gotta give you credit for sticking with it, even though the argument has almost no basis for legitimacy at all.

 

Like to see there are still some captains that will go down with the ship, long after it was obvious it was going down.
