"So explain this, Kyle Orton critics.

In 33 quarterback starts for the Chicago Bears, Orton averaged just 161 passing yards a game. He threw almost as many interceptions (27) as touchdowns (30). His passer rating was a less-than average 71.1.

Yet, his record as a starter was 21-12.

In 33 starts with the Broncos, Orton is averaging 255 passing yards a game. He has thrown almost twice as many touchdowns (49) as interceptions. His passer rating is 86.4 — a substantial 15.3 rating points higher than with the Bears.

Yet, his record as a starter here is 12-21.

Talk about your numerical flip- flops. Don't these numbers suggest Orton has become a better quarterback playing for a worse team?"
