Personally I don't think it's a lack of faith, but more a rush job in wanting to create a new Rock. Remember him? Smiley happy-go-lucky third generation guy who was quite good in the ring but nobody cared so he turned heel and joined a stable lead by a former world champion and sat back for a while, being cocky and arrogant and holding the IC title, before eventually deciding he wants to take over the group and ousting the old leader out.
OK, so that last bit hasn't happened for Orton yet, but that's essentially what they're doing with him, just like they did with The Rock. Then again, they're taking their time more with Orton than they did with Rocky, perhaps that's because Rock is more awesome, perhaps they're deliberately pacing themselves (which would be nice) or perhaps I could be really predictably sceptical and say Triple H doesn't want to be outdone by Orton any time soon.
Personally, as long as they keep doing what they're doing with Orton and not force a face turn upon him until the fans start dictating as such, then he'll be a big star.
