Just a comment or two about the Bears comparison...
It's not quite fair, because Orton is doing just enuff to not get them beat, but he's certainly not putting it on his shoulders and carrying them. That's why there's a huge debate about whether he'll remain the starter after Grossman comes completely back...
Also, as somebody mentioned before, the Bears D and running game are a huge assist to their young quarterback. He just has to do enuff so they don't lose. His stats today: 6/17 68 yds.
If we're talking about doing the same thing for Henson last year, we didn't have that. Cowboys had neither a strong running game nor as good a D as they have. I imagine to make that comparison work, then arguing about how it would affect Henson playing THIS or next year and NOT last year would be a better comparison...
It's the same type of mentality taken w/Ben R.
The pieces around him are what's helping him... No way the pieces we had last year could've helped any QB and our record reflects that...
