Tuesday Huddle: Orton providing Bears rare stability at QB
   By Vic Carucci  |  NFL.com
Senior Columnist
This is the sort of thing that leads you to believe that Kyle Orton's
success is no fluke, why you're willing to at least consider buying
into the notion that he has emerged as the top quarterback in the NFC
North and among the better quarterbacks in the NFL.
The Chicago Bears had a first-and-10 from their own 20 on Sunday. The
Lions disguised their coverage in such a way as to entice Orton to
throw to the tight end on the right side of the formation. But the
tight end would have been covered so well, the play probably had
little hope of going very far -- if the completion were even made.
Orton immediately recognized that and went to the left where dynamic
Devin Hester, working from the slot, was one-on-one with a cornerback.
Orton made the throw for a 32-yard gain, and the drive ended with him
connecting with Hester for a touchdown to give the Bears a 17-0 lead
on the way to a 34-7 victory.
"That was a play, a couple of weeks ago, he might not have made,"
Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner said. "He's playing well and
getting better each time out. The biggest thing is his confidence is
growing every week. You can see it in the way he practices, you can
see it in the way he prepares, and you can see it in his decisions."
Besides recognizing the long throw available to Hester, Orton made
several other good decisions in helping the Bears win their second
game in a row to improve their division-leading record to 3-2. He set
career highs for passing yards (334), completions (24, in 34 attempts)
and passer rating (121.4). He also threw for two touchdowns and had no
interceptions.
But it was the Bears' coaches who made the best decision of all in the
preseason when they chose Orton as their starter over Rex Grossman.
Turner said it came from a "gut feeling" he shared with coach Lovie
Smith that Orton would give them the consistency they had told both
quarterbacks would determine a close battle that began in the
offseason.
Now, Orton has made himself worth noticing as a long-awaited answer
for a team perpetually seeking stability at quarterback. And he might
very well be more than that. He arguably is playing his position
better than any other quarterback in the NFC North, even if it isn't
exactly overflowing with talent at the position.
Orton also is doing himself reasonably proud next to other
quarterbacks in the league. In his last eight starts, including three
in 2007, Orton has had a higher passer rating than every quarterback
he has faced except Donovan McNabb. Among the others on that list are
Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Drew Brees, and Jake Delhomme. Orton's
five-game rating of 87.6 is quite a contrast to the league-low 59.7 he
had in 2005, when he was pressed into the starting job as a rookie
after a season-ending injury to Grossman.
Back then, Orton was seen as being mostly over his head, even though
the Bears were 10-5 in the games he started. The perception of his
talent has since changed dramatically.
"I hope I'm in that consideration," Orton said of having an elevated
status in the NFL. "I determine it by wins. That's my number one goal
every single game. I'm not unhappy if we win the game and we throw for
160 yards. I'm as happy as I was (Sunday) when we threw for 330. As
long as we're winning football games, I feel like I'm doing my job."
"There's no question he's playing well, and the good news is he's
getting better," Turner said. "The thing I like is he's utilizing
everyone around him. I mean, every game we're throwing to seven, eight
different receivers, getting everyone involved in the offense."
How much trust do the Bears' coaches have in Orton? Consider that,
despite having a run-first offense, they threw the ball on 15 of their
first 30 plays against a Lions defense that continually put a safety
near the line of scrimmage.
The Bears' coaches aren't the only ones who have faith that Orton can
lead them a long way. Many of their players do, too. As center Olin
Kreutz told reporters after the Lions game, "We see how hard he works,
how hard he studies the game. He's there every day. He stays late. So
we expect games like (the one he had against Detroit) out of him."
"I think (the trust of his teammates) was high to begin with," Turner
said. "They know he's a very smart football player. They know he's
going to get us out of bad plays, get us into good plays, and he's
going to do that through his preparation."
According to Turner, the greatest improvements in Orton's game since
he joined the Bears as a fourth-round draft pick from Purdue have been
his accuracy and touch. Orton once was known has someone who only
could throw the ball hard. Now, he does a much better job of altering
the velocity of his passes, slowing them down on shorter throws.
"It's been a continual process since my rookie year," Orton said.
"I've worked hard on the fundamentals of the game with Pep Hamilton,
our quarterback coach. He's done a great job of fundamentally making
me a better football player, which has, in turn, made me a more
accurate passer ... I'm throwing the ball better than I ever have."
Hamilton's greatest point of emphasis to Orton is to remain relaxed
throughout the entire throwing process, "from getting away from center
to actually delivering the football, which, in turn, just makes me
more balanced and more accurate as I'm delivering the football. And,
really, just being in Coach Turner's system now for four years, I feel
extremely comfortable with it and it allows me to make good, quick
decisions on a regular basis. I just feel I'm in a good spot right
now."
Sometimes it is passes that Orton doesn't complete that are every bit
as important as the ones he does. As gaudy as his numbers might have
been against the Lions, the stat that gave him the greatest sense of
pride was zero interceptions.
"I always like to have two, three good throwaways in a game," Orton
said. "We came out of that (Detroit) game with no turnovers on
offense, which is always the No. 1 goal for us. Get the positive run
plays, get the positive pass plays, and just try to execute the
offense. That is my strength and hopefully it gets better."
The Bears' strength is a highly talented defense. They also have an
impressive rookie running back in Matt Forte. There is reason to
believe they could become a steadily growing factor in the NFC
postseason race.
"We want to get on a long winning streak," Orton said. "We feel this
is a critical part in our season, this stretch that we've got coming
up. We've got a very tough game on the road against Atlanta. We've got
our work cut out for us. We've got to show up.
"Each week we've practiced great. That's really the task at hand right
now, to show up at work this week and stay hungry and get better. And
if we do that, we're getting to being a really good offense."
