I tried explaining to him we finaly have a qb that can make all of the throws. All he could muster up was he wasn't shit in Denve and he wasn Shit in Chicago. I told him he had good stats lat yar and turned Brandn Lloyd into NFLs #1 wr last year. He wasn't buying it but my point was valid.
I further went to explain that now Orton had something he's NEVER had as far as weapons. Now he has 2 BIG WRs as well as a WR that will stretch the field. Add JC and Moeki coming back next year and I think we can be a top 5 offense with Orton.
I just don't understand why people think he's a fluke ad try to compare him to Cassle when he's HEAD AND SHOULDERS above Cassel in EVERY category. I'll go so far as to say we don't need to draft qb this year if we sign Orton... I'm als thinking with Berry coming back and a O tackle and another stud LB to complement DJ, we're poised for a SUPERBOWL RUN!

He is so far above Cassel it's crazy. That being said, Orton is probably a slightly above average QB. Last year in Denver he had no running game and no defense. This year they got rid of all their good WR's and Denver is winning by gimmick though I think their defense and running game is pretty good. Tebow will not be their answer unless he gets a lot better throwing the ball.
Back to Orton though, pocket presence, goes through progressions and throws a good ball. The first long pass he hit to Pope he pump faked to the right, waited for the double-move to open, when it didn't he immediately went to the other side of the field where our TE was wide open 30 yards down field and threw a laser.
Cassel could never do that.
