Let's have a quick look at the history of the US title in the last few years...

John Cena bt Booker T
Carlito bt John Cena
John Cena bt Carlito
Orlando Jordan bt John Cena
Chris Benoit bt Orlando Jordan
Booker T bt Chris Benoit
Chris Benoit bt Booker T
JBL bt Chris Benoit
Bobby Lashley bt JBL
Finlay bt Bobby Lashley
Mr. Kennedy bt Finlay
Chris Benoit bt Mr. Kennedy
Montel Vontavious Porter bt Chris Benoit

I agree with your opinion on Orland Jordan, but with him you've also got to put John Cena and Bobby Lashley. Finlay I don't care for either.

However, looking at JBL, Carlito, Benoit, Kennedy and Booker T you've probably got a point. But at the same time an almost equal, if not better bunch of wrestlers have held the IC belt:

Edge, Randy Orton, Christian, Ric Flair, Shelton Benjamin, Johnny Nitro, Santino Marella, Jeff Hardy and Umaga

and in the short history of the ECW belt:

CM Punk, Big Show, Rob Van Dam, and John Morrison

So there's nothing particularly special about the US championship. To make matters worse it has been brought out of retirement for no other reason than to occupy the same role as the IC title. Meanwhile, ECW needs a title, otherwise it would just be Heat with a different name.
