Flacco or Orton?

Postby Twelve Inch Ditka » Wed Sep 22, 2010 7:38 pm

Scoring
PaTD - Passing TD 4 points
Plus 2 points for a PaTD of 50 to 100 Yds
PaYd - Passing Yards 0 - 600 PaYds = 1 point for every 50 PaYds
Plus a 5 point bonus @ 300+ PaYd

SO both are at home, Orton against the Colts or Flacco ( ready to bust out or be a bust) against the Brownies?

Orton is looking good so far this season, but observe him from the bench for one more week. Go Flacco with a great matchup.

so, no concern that the Ravens might just pound the rock all day?

Orton has to throw the ball to keep pace with Peyton.

Here's how I look at it, The Ravens have played subpar low scoring games.....and I am afraid that playing the Browns that also played in low scoring games that this game will end up a 14-10 game as well.....

and the Broncos Colts game could turn into a wild west shootout which would potentially make Orton a 300+ passer and a couple of TD's with all his weapons available....

yes my gut says Start Flacco.....but my Brain says start Orton.....

thanks, I think you just made me feel better about starting Orton.

Flacco just has too much to prove right now. It's a shame b/c I drafted him early; the results, though, just aren't there.

Flacco has played two tough road games against two very good defensive teams. He's got a home date with Cleveland up next. Expect big things- he's bringing his new receiver toys out to play with.

I think Id go with Orton here too. Ray Rice should be the focus against Cleveland. Orton will have to throw to keep pace with Indy.

Help?
