The Kyle Orton experiment, as promised.

I have been saying for weeks now that a dislocated knuckle and having to wear a glove absolutely has to affect all phases of throwing a football. It’s a testament to KO’s toughness and ability to adapt! Great job and thanks for the time you spent on this experiment.

Rec’d.

just good enough to get by. Wait until he heals…sha-shaw!

Just kiddin’ I think it does go without saying that his accuracy and confidence will be much better when he is back in his comfort zone, that said his numbers don’t look so bad with the glove and splint. Can only get better from here on out, good idea on the demonstration btw , I thnk we all kinda knew what you were saying before the video but the demonstration really brought home the point.

Stokley had made a simular catch for a first down twice before in the game, but the pass he missed was a bullit and I believe it caught Brandon by surprise. Maybe Orton had become more warmed up by then I don’t know, but we all know Stokley has pretty good hands and makes those catches. Zippa dee do da day.

That’s an axe murderers basement if I have every seen one. Just kidding. thanks for the demo.

I would challenge anyone to tape up their finger like that and just try to get through your normal day, let alone try to throw NO INT’s and win 2 NFL football games…

Thanks for your efforts

That he’ll be 100% to full capability right away…He may still be somewhat limited and tentative for a couple of games until he has confidence that he can make all his throws…

watching the offensive plans develop in general, and being a bit of a conspiracy theory junkie, I think the plan may be to add something in each week……maybe the long ball isn’t going to be used until opposing game-plans believes we aren’t going to do it.

this was an accurate experiment. Just Kidding. Great work all around. I wouldn’t know the first thing about trying to put together something like this, so I would Rec it just for talent. You put a lot of work into this site. I don’t know how you do it and attend college at the same time. Thanks Bro.

but graphic and convincing. I think I had underestimated how much of a handicap Orton was dealing with. It’s amazing that he’s been as effective as he has with that glove and finger wrap. It’s also a testament to how well he knows the offense and how much McDaniels trusts him. He beat out Simms in the first place because he picked up the offense faster.

I try to teach my students to throw a football. I see now how little I knew about it. Thanks for helpful tips.

I’ve said this before, and great work cjf, but I’ve believed this all along. Kyle Orton will be a great quarterback for this team and system. I don’t know where all this noodle arm stuff started, or why with some it still persists, but the guy can throw a rope, left or right (side, not arm…we all saw his lefty), dink or deep, has touch and accuracy. I’m on record to say he’ll lead us to the playoffs, have a top 10 qb season, quiet the whiners and haters, and IS our qb for years to come. Give it a little time. It’s a new system, new teammates, new coaches, new environment. Sheesh. He can think, make great decisions, bad throws when necessary, great throws when needed, and he is a leader of men by demeanor and example. We won’t trade him next year, we’ll resign him to a long contract, and keep TB in reserve and let Simms go. And we’ll all be happy about it. Can’t believe these people ripping him before he even got started. He still puts up w’s. Win is why they play the game.

Throw #2 would have taken off Stokley’s head. Watch out.

You proved your points well regarding the speed and accuracy.

This should give anyone some appreciation for what Orton is going through.

Nicely done Joe. Chicago just called and offered a #1 and a #3 for your services. Turn in your playbook to the coach.
