Kyle Orton on the WOF is insanity that approaches the insanity of the racism oozing out of this nation since last week.

 

From Kyle Orton on the WOF straight to racism.

 

Is there anything racism can't do?

I think he's right to a certain extent. Racism is a preconceived notion about another based on religious or outward appearances without considering the background or achievements of that individual in a setting. Honestly, the Orton hate is real and not really racist but borders on it. What did Orton do to deserve this hate other than give us the taste of success we have been clammoring for well over 16 years?

I'm personally on the fence about Orton. He was the best leader the bills had during the current drought, but his tenure was short. Do we recognize short term brilliance? I haven't answered that one for myself yet. But, I do need to call you out for calling the OP a racist. I don't think he has shown any racist tendencies & I believe he would support Orton irregardless of his racial identity.

You're trolling the wrong person, but I like your style.

If he throws for 4200 in a season like Orton did (should have if he played EJ's four games) yes.

Chicago ranked 30th in passing defense that year. Could have meant an extra 100-150 yards for Orton.

That is not how sports works. Increase usage normally equates to less efficiency. At his age there is no way to know he could make it through a full season.

Tom Brady and Brett Favre would disagree. Peyton Manning too.

This is a subjective discussion and having the ability to predict the whole is important.

Its the basis of the Wall of Farm argument. If he passes for 4000 plus yards that year.... ect.

...and I already proved above that Orton's efficiency and potency as a passer (yardage) improved as the season progressed so with EJ's games (which our coaches deprived Orton of) would have gotten him off to a great start with even better stats than what he already crushed. I honestly don't get the criticism of Orton or the conclusory statement that he doesn't deserve recognition as a fame-worthy candidate.
