Wow, Orton is doing well considering he is on a new team playing in a new scheme with a new HC.

Can we finally put the new scheme excuse to bed now?

The one that it takes awhile to get used to it? In the heavily timing based ones it does, like the Coryell system we ran under Saunders.. same with the quick decision WCO, it takes more discipline out of the QB, also more mobility typically.

You'll find that the O that the Pats and subsequently now the Broncos run isn't quite like a WCO and Belichick and McDaniels are good at utilizing what they have to work with as well. Orton tends to fit that profile a lot better than he did a WCO and I'd imagine that Campbell would do the same.

Maybe being in a different system that fits him better and with a better coach is the difference. I don't buy the scheme thing anymore, but I lay most of the blame on team's inability to make the best out of a player.
