Yup.
So a few questions you have to ask. Imagine if Orton had Charles. Imagine if he had a credible red zone threat like they have in Peyton Hillis. And yes, imagine if he had one extra blocker. Those are three ENORMOUS upgrades over what he had to work with. Charles especially.
What Orton proved is that the talent is good enough for even an average QB to move the ball, especially if he spreads out his receiver targets. So that's a really, really sad statement when our starting QB can't do the same thing, even with Jamaal Charles and Winston and Hillis added to your supporting cast.
