Orton or Brees? WHIR

Postby prisoner6 » Sat Oct 16, 2010 1:45 pm

Says it all. Start Orton or Brees? All projections show Orton ahead, but Brees is playing TB and Orton is playing the Jets. Thoughts?

I'd go with Orton. NO isn't looking as strong as they did last year and TB has a very solid secondary. Orton has been able to throw on everyone so far, and Revis isn't 100%. And, with as much as DEN is throwing, the altitude and fatigue will be a factor.

That is a very tough call. While it's true Orton will be throwing as lot against the Jets as they ease Knowshon Moreno back in against the league's #1 run D, Brees' matchup is far from horrendous and prior to the season this decision would have looked like a no-brainer. I would say stick with Brees and hope for a true breakout game, but you can't go wrong either way.

Help with mine, please:

You gotta start Orton. He's proven to be a worthy FF starter. He throws close to 50 times a game, and without Reggie Bush or Pierre Thomas in, the Saints are a one dimensional team without great receivers. Start Orton this week, even against the Jets, you throw that many times, you're bound to get some points.

Brees. He's due for a breakout game and Orton usually falls apart at this time of the season. Plus I don't see orton lasting too well vs the Jets.
