[quote=skinsfaninok;772758]Yo HTown maybe you should check his career stats and record, pretty damn good. The last 3 years he's been very good and he's a big arm accurate QB. The most underrated QB in football IMO. Is he Dan Marino? Heck no but he's a pretty good player. He had no Marshall this year and moreno was hurt a lot and still but up BIG Time numbers. Just saying[/quote][url=http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/O/OrtoKy00.htm]Kyle Orton NFL & AFL Football Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com[/url]

He's improved his Chicago numbers with Denver, but not exactly sure what he ranks highly in that would make you call his numbers "big time". He hasn't turned the ball over much, I suppose.

And you may be the first person to ever use "big arm" to describe Kyle Orton. He's neither strong armed, nor accurate, and his arm tends to fail him after about 350 or 400 throws in a season.

Orton is the perfect NFL backup quarterback, and is worth acquiring at the level of a 7th round pick.

What % of fans would you say are firm supporters of him?[/quote]


70-75 easly but as with Redskin fans......when do you ask them?(before or after a win or a loss)

[quote=skinsfaninok;772847]No way would i take him over romo, give Tony that offensive line and he'd be the MVP. Yea I'd take him over any skins QB Thats not saying much my friend. I'm not just bashing the guy, heck he played at ole miss and I'm from miss :).. He's just not an elite QB that's all I was saying..[/quote]

With the way Kitna is playing maybe you guys can get Romo.

I could only hope that would come true.

Re: Around the NFL: Week 16
 

Ortons arm is better than u think tripp, I saw him throw a couple 50 plus yard td bombs in Denver.

Re: Around the NFL: Week 16
 

Tuesday football....it's only been a little more than 64 years. :D

This season's been freaking crazy with unexpected crap. Arian Foster, Randy Moss, McNabb, Vick, etc.

Re: Around the NFL: Week 16
 

I love to see the Vikes kick their ass but I'm think Vick and company will win this game in the first half.

Re: Around the NFL: Week 16
 

Vick has thrown about 5 balls that should've been picked. One of them was, a couple dropped, one offensive pass interference

oh look.. they just stripped him and took it for a TD

he's not helping his MVP chances with this game

Re: Around the NFL: Week 16
 

Eagles are sleep walking through this one so far

Re: Around the NFL: Week 16
 

This Webb kid isn't that bad.

S.Rice is just a really good player, I wish we could get that dude

Re: Around the NFL: Week 16
 

Viks are showing how to frustrate Vick.. He's playing like crap

[quote=skinsfaninok;773042]Ortons arm is better than u think tripp, I saw him throw a couple 50 plus yard td bombs in Denver.[/quote]Consider the altitude. I'm not sure why his arm strength is that relevant anyway, he's been a pretty good player in the Broncos spread system, but certainly not a great player, and I think he's rated about properly.

The Broncos reamed the Bears in the Orton-Cutler deal, but they pissed away most of the draft picks immediately. Orton can start about 10 games per year max, so acquiring him as a backup makes a lot of sense.

Re: Around the NFL: Week 16
 

how bout those Viks?

The EAGIRLS D will keep them out of the SB. It's almost as bad as out D
