Bills QB Kyle Orton says reporter asked him 'crap question'

Kyle Orton is making his first start of the season on Sunday after Bills coach Doug Marrone benched EJ Manuel. When speaking with the media Wednesday, Orton was asked if he'll do a better job running the offense than Manuel.

"Not saying that I will," Orton replied, according to ESPN.com. "I mean, that's a loaded question. That's a crap question."

BURKE: Desperate Bills dump EJ Manuel in favor of veteran QB Kyle Orton​

Orton was cut by the Cowboys this summer and reportedly considered retirement. Instead, he chose to sign with Buffalo to back up Manuel.

Orton lost his starting job to Tim Tebow in 2010, but now the tables have turned and it's Orton taking over for a first-round pick.

Even if Orton won't say he's a better quarterback than Manuel, at least he can tell everyone he's got the better mustache.
