I'm not sure where the "top 16" rating comes from. He was ranked 25th in QB Passer Rating and the same in passing percentage. He wasn't even in the top twelve in the NFC let alone all the good QB's over in the AFC.

Merely personal opinion.

If he fails in Denver, I'll retract it. Considering the crap he had to work with, I bumped him up.

EDIT: Some stats. 17th ranked QB in fantasy. 9-6 record in '08. 21-12 career record. Granted in his early career, da Bears used to be a good team.

Keep in mind, he's got no WRs, a good TE, and a line that makes ours good. His RB is equivalent to Grant. For what he's got to work with, he's done pretty well.

I'll bet our "visiting expert" (Boocheeman) is going to take exception to some/most/all of that, and I myself am somewhat skeptical in the "line that makes ours look good" department. After all, didn't Boocheeman have "greater-than" signs going every whichaway as regards his Bares, especially at running back? (I think he ACTUALLY said his boy was > AD. ---of course, he might have been rollin' some Raji's at the time.)

An offense is as good as your QB. Orton had as much to do with Chicago's weak numbers on "0" as anybody else. I have seen many good QB's put up solid numbers in an otherwise poor offense.

Orton is going to the 3-4 happy AFC where they place a premium on getting to the QB. The guy can't move. Denver was not bad at protecting Cutler but he moved well. I know anytime we played them and got pressure on Orton he didn't even think about completing a pass.

There's a lot more that goes into how successful he will be in Denver than having a couple of better WR's to throw to.

I heard reports of people saying the Denver offense scheme will be more suited for Orton than the Chicago scheme was. If you remember Orton threw the ball tons in college and seems to strive in an open up style offense, so we will see.

Good call - Orton ran Tiller's spread offense @ Purdue very well. I don't know a ton about McDaniels' scheme, but I do know I've heard it referred to as a spread scheme more than once. And it's certainly not pass-light, as evidenced by the numbers the Pats put up in 07. Add the upgrade @ WR, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him do well.

I was always the most scared to play the Bears when Orton was QB.

Warhawk - You may be right. Like I said, if Orton fails on the Broncos, I'll recant what I said. But when Orton started for da Bears against us, I was worried. When Wrecks started for da Bears against us, I was happy.

beast (8h) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (11h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (14h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
