“Alright he did 1 season beating out Brady Quinn for the #2 spot. There’s a grand accomplishment.”
Then he beat out Kyle for the #1 spot and took a dismal team to the playoffs winning one and losing one. Even the great ones like Manning have lost to NE.
They finished 8-8 including losing their last 3 games, only made the playoffs because the AFC West blows. And the defense fixed their problems dropping their points allowed by 15. If the defense had performed in the first 5 games like they did down the stretch Orton goes 4-1 and never gets pulled. If they performed down the stretch the way they started Tebow goes 0fer. It’s a 53 man roster, giving all the win credit to the QB is ignoring a lot of what happens on the field. Meanwhile he completed less than half his passes, had a bad QB rating, and nobody has started him since. He’s a backup quality QB with fans that just can’t accept reality making a lot of noise.
