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

Sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about Kyle Orton here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Kyle Orton, in Buffalo. And even if he's an apprehensive man - and Kyle Orton was most certainly that. Quite possibly the most apprehensive QB in Buffalo, which would place him high in the runnin' for most apprehensive league-wide. But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough.

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.

For a second I was about check my calendar to see if it was April 1st

I liked Orton A LOT while he was in Buffalo and was really disappointed when he decided to call it a day. I do believe that we would have made the playoffs if he had played the 16 games in 2014 but you just can't put a player on the wall of fame after only 12 games with the team. He was excellent even though he missed the whole training camp and didn't play at all during preseason but my answer is no.

That's a very curt reply. You need to loosen up a little bit. What if he had played the full season? What if he had come back the next? Imagine the possibilities.

It doesn't require any more explanation. You've had your fun. Mods, can you close this down- it's clearly not a serious topic.

exactly how old are you "get off my lawn" guy?
