Yes, he had a good run in the playoffs and superbowl last year, but giving up 2 first round picks for a guy who's been on 3 teams and only played very average up until the playoffs of last season is pretty pathetic Jesus H! It never ceases to amaze how poorly Bills fans are at math. We gave up 1 (One!) 1st round pick. We used the other One to select him. I was at the previous game in Houston, watching Orton just sit there on the bench by himself the whole game while Manuel destroyed any chance he may have had playing in the pros. Next week, Orton is starting @ Detroit and delivers yet another last second, come from behind win -albeit with the help of a 52 yard fg. He played better than any other Bills qb during the drought except for Bledsoe’s 1st year. I was bummed when he up & quit right after the final game, but had no issue with Marrone doing so soon after.
GunnerBill Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Oh I remember it. One of my favourite Bills games. Was action packed throughout.
T master Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Thanks for posting that was a good watch i saw so many players names that i was excited to see come to B/lo and was hoping they would be some of the pieces that would help turn them around the coach wasn't all that and a bag of chips but it's all good now ...

I have always maintained that the Bills gave up one first.
GregPersons Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Bills fans should have a better ability to differentiate between "QB was really good" and "QB was really fun" Not all good QBs are fun, not all fun QBs are good. Ideally you want a mix of both and that's when you have a superstar. Orton was not very good. He was extraordinarily fun.

Was action packed throughout. 2014 team was actually pretty exciting. Won some low scoring close ones without that air of despondence. Our defense played an exciting brand of football. My favorite game of that year was the Aaron Rodgers beat down. We had arrived after that one.

If we only gave up 1 1st round pick for Sammy, did we give up zero for Shaq Lawson? How many did we trade for Diggs? Bad at math indeed. Edited May 29, 2020 by FireChans
Charles Romes Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) To be fair, Marrone and Hackett got an awful lot out of a disinterested Orton pulling I’m off the couch a week before week 1, and Whaley gave them almost nothing to work with at QB. Edited May 31, 2020 by Charles Romes 1

Yeah, some are talking like Orton was a respectable option at QB. Orton was checked out, and just cashing a paycheck that season.
