This should get good.

Well I'm sure there will be a struggle in Buffalo and he'll be the lead dog.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Good riddance.

Has Kyle Orton had a good relationship with any team that he's been on? They hated him in Chicago, I understand why he was mad he got benched for Tebow(LOL), but he burned bridges in Denver too. Now, he hated Dallas. I dont know, there seems to be a pattern here.

There is only one word to describe Orton: Inebriated psycho freak.

What offensive power struggle?

Uhmmm... Thanks for news WG, but I'm guessing criticism from this guy is well, if you have nothing nice to say...

Honestly guys, I don't know that Orton is wrong here. I think it's clear that in the recent past, Tony has had a lot of control over what is being called and when. It would appear that this has changed, at least in the early going, to an extent this season. I know that if I'm a player on a team and I believe that we could win if we just did X, and we never embraced that, I would be really pissed about it as well and it wouldn't take long to tire of it. I mean think about it, is it really all that hard to identify with?

What offensive power struggle?

Which of the three guys -- Garrett, Callahan, or Linehan are calling the plays? Probably that one.

This year they seem to finally have figured it out, but it's hard to argue that it wasn't a bit <unusual> recently.

Orton has to the most ungrateful player we have had recently, he was the highest paid backup QB!

 

[mldardy]

Who cares. I was not a fan of Orton while he was a Cowboy. Limited arm strength and mobility and oh yeah threw a pick on the 1st play of what could have been a game winning drive. Good riddance, good luck in sucky Buffalo.

What offensive power struggle?

I would assume between Garrett and Callahan, but it also could have had to do with the attempts to give Romo more control of the offense.

Of course, Orton wanted out of Dallas without having to repay any of his bonus, so I'll take anything he says with a grain of salt considering his threatened retirement to force his release.

 

[hra8700]

Hahhahahahhahahaaaa. Orton wanted to get paid. Plain and simple.

I'm not saying that Mr. Blue Suit made this up (always a possible with him), but I just find it hilarious that he would bring up the Cowboys.

What does Orton...who is playing for Buffalo in a different conference...have to do with the Cowboys at this moment?

And what offensive power struggle was going on last year?

But more importantly, there is no offensive power struggle going on now except of if DeMarco is going to run for 150 yards or 200 yards. So what does Orton have to do with this year's Cowboys team?

And who really cares about the relationship between a backup QB that played 1 game in 2-years and the starting QB?

Mr. Blue Suit must be looking for the ESPN spotlight again.

That would be my guess as well. I can't imagine he'd have any problem with the QB getting more control.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Still doesn't make any sense, Mr. Blue Suit (most of your stories have flawed logic anyway).

Why is Orton in Buffalo 'justified?'

Sounds like he didn't want to go thru training camp (happens all of the time with veterans) and found a team in Buffalo where he didn't have to go thru TC and would get paid.

If anything, I guess I'm having to stick up for Orton now. But that's what happens when you are dealing with a 'reporter' that has a long history of being woefully inaccurate and never held accountable by his bosses for it.

ROFL. Orton rates somewhere below Dan Bailey on the "power" scale.
He was a high paid clipboard holder.

Hope he gets to enjoy that Buffalo winter weather.
