Doug Marrone to keep faith in Kyle Orton

Marrone to keep faith in Orton

Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has revealed that he will keep faith in quarterback Kyle Orton for now and will continue to leave EJ Manuel on the bench.

Despite suggestions that Manuel should be given an opportunity to gain experience with just three games remaining in the season, Marrone insists that Orton will remain his starting signal-caller.

"Every week, I'm going to make that decision," Marrone said, according to ESPN.

"If I get to 7-8, I'll make that decision. But right now, absolutely, I will play Kyle Orton because he gives us the best chance to win now."

Before being benched by the Bills coach, Manuel completed 58% of his passes with a 5:3 touchdown to interception ratio over the season.
