Tom Brady
Eli Manning
Philip Rivers
Carson Palmer
Kurt Warner

...........................and everyone continues to not give a sh*t...........................

I don't know.....too much of a "game manager".... :scratch: He gets no where near the respect he deserves for his start though.

He is also 15th in yards, 14th in comp,16th in atempts,14th in TD's,11th in yrds per game, and 14th in Comp%. In short he is a game manager but is in the middle of the pack as far as NFL quality QB's go.

I always liked Orton as well. Just wish he had a stronger arm. Wasn't happy when he was in the Cutler trade!

#1 where it counts....WINS

I agree with Jason. Wins matter, but who would you rather have:

Kyle Orton
Tom Brady
Eli Manning
Philip Rivers
Carson Palmer
Kurt Warner

...I'm guessing NOT Kyle Orton. He's obviously a product of a very good system and great coaching. Having Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal doesn't hurt either.

Orton is from a passing system at Purdue, one of the Big 10 teams that isnt known for a run game...i hate the bears, and i love the fact that Orton is doing well, i always said he should have been playing in chicago...

screw 'flare' if you can run clock and not turn it over, you can guard a lead...yes, talent around him helps, but if its a 'system' thing, how good is Cutler then :think:

:secret: ive always hated cutler

I agree but the thread was made based on his overall stats and I was just pointing out that stat wise he is nothing special. Although you do not have to be a great QB to win the SB just ask Trent Dilfer.

Orton shook Brees' hand once and that alone made him twice the QB his ability would permit. op:
