Twitter: Kyle Orton announces retirement

[Deep_South]

This was the first season the Bills finished over .500 since 2004.

Orton has no heart for the game, he is a loser and I hope he retires for good.

F--- him...

He might not be, but they were foolish to not see if he learned anything from sitting and watching.

I don't disagree with that take.

But management is starved for wins (to save their jobs) and they're prone to doing rash things.

He is the dummy who lost out by leaving Dallas. At least here he lost out on the chance of a superbowl ring. See ya loser.

The Michael Jordan of the NFL.

What is it with him and retirements?

He heard it worked for Farve, thought he would give it a try?

 

[TwentyOne]

You know what... He took a shot... Leading a team one more time.

I ain't mad at him.

Yep.

He is a very interessting person to me.
Seems he does not care what others say or think about him but does what is best for him.

We live In a world were companies (e.g. NFL franchises) are so powerful that they are able to inlfuence peoples values. They make people think they are good human beings if they are loyal and/or teamplayers. That being a person who acts in favor of others is in their own best interesst. But its not. It only a way for companys to get good "working bees" to maximize their own revenue.

Most people believe in that crap. I dont know much about Orton but it seems like he is someone who has himself emancipated form this. Seems like he has real character to me.

Why is Kyle Orton retiring even news?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Maybe he's hoping it will be the same as when Fartve kept threatening to retire.

Fartve would say he wanted to retire and other teams would throw money at him to not retire.

He doesn't care about a Super Bowl. He had a chance to start and almost brought his team to the playoffs. He played Jerry and won. Nothing wrong with that.
