I knew Orton would light it up. He did pretty well in Denver considering they had a crappy running game, and a defense that was absolutely terrible last year, and for the early part of this year.
He also has much better recievers to work with here vs what he had with denver. He was zipping the ball all over the place yesterday. And did anyone notice how he placed the ball to his recievers? Right in the numbers, or right where the reciever could catch it. That one long pass to Baldiwn (which he dropped) was placed perfectly for him to catch it.
Seeing Orton light it up never surprised me. I knew he was capable of it. It might be too early to say hes the QB for this team, but if he can perform at a high level like he did last sunday, he will go a long ways in proving that he is our man.
Lets not forget that he hasnt really played any meaningul snaps for the past several weeks going into this game. He looked quite impressive considering everything. He has some rust to shake off, but he looked better than Cassel ever has in his 3 years here.
