Elway thought the Donks would be a lost cause with Tebow and it backfired on him.
Elway wanted that pick

LMAO.... fans don't dictate moves bud...

How does that make sense?

Orton's a free agent after the season. Cassel's out for the season. Unless they claim Orton & sign an extension (PLEASE GOD NO), this has nothing to do with Cassel. It's more of a "we have no faith in Palko" thing (which they should have known all along, but that's another argument).

Only good thing would be that maybe King Neckbeard comes in & plays well, showing Pioli that Casshole isn't anywhere near a franchise QB...

How does having a guy like Palko make sense in the first place? Logical sense? IMO, the only reason they didn't sign a vet backup is because they didn't wanna hurt Cassel's fragile ego.

They do there

i'm hearing the Texans may have a problem fitting him under the salary cap, not the case for the Chiefs or Bears tho.

I don't really want Orton here next year, but I wouldn't mind being able to watch real football for the next 6 weeks.

I would also like to see Baldwin continue to develop.

I'm sorry, but captain popgun and his ultimate frisby delivery is not going to help in the development of Jonathan Baldwin.

Orton could help us continue to develop Baldwin and allow our WR corps to continue to build chemistry, not to mention give Albert, Asomoah and I'm sure Hudson (and yes, even Lilja) a much better quarterback to block for, which would allow them to gel a little bit more for next season as well. Those guys learn nothing about playing as a unit when they're blocking for a mad scrambler that wants to throw checkdowns all day. If anything, they'd pick up bad habits for 2012.

I'm sorry, but folks that are loudly against an Orton look are just shouting for the sake of doing so. I've been as vocal a 'draft a QB guy' as any, but Orton doesn't preclude that. Further, Orton would allow us to actually get something out of the last 1/2 of this season whereas Palko would just be marking time.

And yeah, I'd love to see us get Stanzi the PT, but it's not going to happen for whatever reason. The options are pretty obviously Orton or Palko. When those are your choices...you really don't have any choices. It's Orton in a landslide.

kyle orton SUCKED for denver or he would have kept his job

Sucking is relative, when it comes to QBs that Suck, and his suck is not even close the the level suckage that Palko is destined to display. For the rest of the team's sake, just do this.

You mean you don't like 7 yard jump passes?

How the hell does Orton help Baldwin grow? The guy got beat out by Rex Grossman and Tim Tebow. Check his stats they are the same as Cassel's.

Hunt is done writing checks for this season.

Kyle Orton is the shit we have to eat in the state we are in.

The Chicago Tribune and Fox Sports' Jay Glazer both report the Bears do indeed plan to put in a claim for Orton
