Kyle Orton

We have a great offensive line and Thomas (Jones) played big. It feels good to get my first NFL win. Right now I think this is my team.

I obviously know the recent history,

He's a hard-nosed guy. For him to play hurt, that's great.

I don't think I was locked in. I thought we moved the ball around pretty good.

I thought we did a real good job playing the field position battle. We're still in the lead in the division and now we're going to Detroit.

I think I played real solid, ... Maybe only two passes I'd like to have back. And that's pretty good when you're playing a full football game. I made good decisions. I thought I got the ball out of my hands quick and really knew the situations I was in.

Muhsin played well and made some plays, ... I thought the other receivers played well and (running back Thomas) Jones played really well. Muhsin is a veteran guy who has been there and played in big games before.

It turned on us pretty quick. I really thought we'd played well as an offense and obviously the defense was playing great.

I was happy. I wasn't surprised, kind of thought it was going to happen.

I haven't really had time to step back from the situation and kind of let myself be in awe or anything, ... But the fans are unbelievable. It's been a long time since they've had a winner here. You can just feel they want one so bad.

We're happy to be above .500 for the first time in a long time.

We have an uphill battle. At 1-3, we're certainly not out of it, but it's getting down to crunch time now. We need to start putting wins together.

I played like crap today.

I'm not going to put this on my being young or anything. I played like crap today, and that's basically what I'm going to put it on.

They confused me. They're a solid defense. I'm not going to put this on me being young or anything. I played like crap today.

Right then, I kind of knew I might be in trouble.

I lean on him quite a bit. I trust his judgment and his knowledge of what's going on at any given time. It can get kind of chaotic out there, and he helps settle everything down.

Orton's got my vote.

I'm a young guy, I'm looking for improvement every week. I'm not arrogant enough to say that I don't have anything to work on I've got a ton of stuff to work on. Every game that I am on the field is an advantage for me. I have a ton of stuff to work on.

I'm a lot better player right now than I was when I was 17 years old as a freshman. I've learned a lot more about the game. I'm more prepared.

We were mixing in a lot of people and the backups did not get a whole lot of practice reps throughout the week. Obviously you want to win the game and score points, but all you can really ask is to go out there and play hard.

It seems like when you're a good football team and you keep on pressing on people, you press them into mistakes, ... That's just what we're doing. We're wearing on people.

I really like this young quarterback (Kyle Orton). He's very efficient. The speed of the game doesn't bother him. He'll play better than what people think he will as a rookie. He's better than (Rex) Grossman. I would fear Orton a little bit. He's better than Drew Brees who came out of there (Purdue).

I played like crap, ... I had a chance to make plays and didn't do it. The result of that is us losing the game. I didn't make good decisions. You can't play like that, turn the ball over five times, and expect to win. I'm not gonna put this on me being young.

The Bears have described Orton as mature beyond his years, and although that's a good thing, it's worth noting that just because Gary Coleman was mature beyond his years, it didn't make him Sir Laurence Olivier .
