Well his comments after being benched were not the kind you would expect from the guy described by the OP. He never accepted any responsibility for getting benched.
I must confess I was against getting him in the first place fearing a repeat of "Scott Mitchell". My son and I argued at the time and he still defends getting him but says they should have changed last year when it was clear he wasn't going to elevate his game.
I'm sure he's a great guy but I have always felt like he gets nervous in pressure situations. If he checked to a run when the Raven's showed blitz what does that say about him? Orton was sacked once in 3 games largely because he recognized the blitz and changed to a play that would work. Often taking advantage of blitzing defenders by throwing downfield.
Time to move on saying I told you so or berating the guy doesn't change anything. We need to take the shotgun approach and draft and sign multiple QBs until we get a real one.
