Per Nick Wright, Orton to start.
 

getnickwright

I'm hearing that barring an injury in practice Romeo has already decided that Orton will start Sunday. Palko's run is over. #Chiefs

In dex finger/neck beard FTW!!!!!!!!

:Lin:

I hope he does well except against the Broncos. He's a good guy, and a decent QB.

Strike #2 against Crennel...

This is bull ****ing shit.

Didn't Crennel just stress that he won't be letting on to who will start? This is either bullshit from Wright or Crennel is going senile.

Why are you surprised? Crennel is trying to become a HC again. The only way he can do that is by winning. It sucks for us though.

This is probably Ortons interview for next season.

If we draft a qb high in next years draft, I'd be ok with Orton coming back. Not Cassel.

Meh. Crennel wants to win. He want's to be the HC and whether we like it or not, Orton give them the best chance to win...as unexciting as that may be.

lol, beat me to it.

He also said that if he isn't healthy, Stanzi starts. If healthy, Orton starts Stanzi backup. Palko is finished per Crennel. KK, Bob Fescoe

Maybe, hopefully, when we're down 35 he'll put Stanzi in.

LMAO

Hard core!!!!

I know a lot of you guys want to start Stanzi and see what he's got. I don't know, I think this would be a really shitty way to throw Stanzi in to the active line up. Your team is in turmoil. Who knows though? Maybe Stanzi goes in and lights it up, gives the franchise something to look forward to, but will Pioli make a break away from Cassel?

Oh, I'm not surprised. Am pissed yes.


Until this organization grows a set of balls and plays a rookie QB we are stuck in the suck.

Well, i hope he does well, just not well enough for the win.

I think it stands a good chance that we see a half of Stanzi. Unless it's close after the first half that is.

Gotta say, no wonder the defense played like shit last week. If Palko was that bad in practice and they knew he was starting no matter what, after stopping the Jets 4 straight times and seeing nothing on offense it would be tough to stay the course.

I can understand, why wouldn't want to start Stanzi against GB KC's defense w will get anally raped and that's ****ed up for a young QB to play from behind 20+ points.

Great, an improvement. Instead of 0 chance of winning, we get a 1% chance.

Lay your money down boys!

There is little a QB can do when your line is wet paper as ours is.

Orton will probably beat the donkos and the faiders and put us out of position to even move up and draft a QB. He never has been surrounded by so much talent on offense. I'll be curious to see how he does.

Palko's run is not over unless he is at least 3rd string or cut. As it is I bet he is one index ouch away from playing. :(

I see this as further proof that it's Pioli putting the kaibosh on playing Stanzi, which is kind of what I suspected all along...

ALready said he is the third stringer.

But Palko is Haley's boy, yo!

Good, I take the last post back. Not wishing injury on anyone, but a little index injury maybe? One can hope.

I've personally never bought that. I can't believe anyone would think Palko is even a passable QB...

seriously cut Palko

dont even give him that roster spot chance to where you might have to play him. So bad.

His NFL career is done the minute the Chiefs get rid of him. No team in their right mind will ever sign the guy.

Yep, you only have so much gas in the tank and it is hard to draw down deep for more when you know it is futile.

So the Packers will only be up 34-0 at the half eh?SWEET!!!

Not if he's told it does not matter and reminded that the season is lost anyway.

It is per Nick Wright? Right?

Per Crennel's press conference. Everyone is reporting it.

As a motivational tool, no coach would say that to a player.

This, the Chiefs even reported in on FB. It's FB official fellas. Might as well be writtin in the Bible, ummmm, or the Consitution, ummmm, is there anything sacred anymore!!! :banghead:

**** the QB situation
Has he cut Thomas Jones yet

ME :loser:

I guess you can't blame Crennel for wanting to win when he has a chance to show he can be the HC. Hard to care about 2 years down the road if you are thinking like that

I just hope when we are getting destroyed that they put Stanzi in. I am afraid if we play Orton against Denver he will beat them.

Palko is 3rd string, per Crennel himself.

Any given Sunday...but Orton is notoriously immobile and our D has been providing excellent pass rush with all of the starters playing.

LMAO , I love that gif.

What was the first strike?

Seriously. Why would anyone be surprised by this?

Pioli, by firing Haley in-season and putting Crennel in this situation, is giving every indication he doesn't want to draft a top flight QB. Seriously, f that guy.

Fing right I am..

No more excuses...

Good for him.

Being fat

Watch Stanzi will play in second half of the Dungver game, complete 8-12 & TD. That's the end of the season.

Here's hoping for a twisted index during practice.

Calmouring for the job, when he was shit in cleveland and he still failing to cover a TE with his defense...

No worries, the Chiefs have no chance against the Packers no matter who starts.

If your worried about more wins, id definately be worried about Oakland and Denver.

Yeah but he's supposed to act like he wants the HC spot.It would be douchetastic if he didn't,but I wouldn't blame him.

LMAO Seriously? I'd like to see Stanzi play, but you have to consider what Crennel's position is. He wants this job. Playing a rookie doesn't give the best chance to win.

Green Bay is goin' DOWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're still in the playoff hunt!

I like starting Orton against the Packers. I do think putting Stanzi to start after what has happened this week would be too much pressure. There was NO pressure last week when we were already down 28-3 to start the second half. There wasn't a better time all season to let him start his NFL career. Haley just fucked up and it is another reason he was 86'ed.

This.

I hope we draft a QB in the 1st round of the draft this year, no matter what. I don't care how many QB's go before our pick or whether they is any good ones left. Draft the best one and start him, whether he's any good or not, until he retires from the NFL. Ten years of Akili Smith starting for the Kansas City Chiefs.

It will be worth it just to shut all the dumb ****s up.

exactly

The definition of dumb**** should include people who aren't committed to obtaining a franchise QB.

FAILko will probably step on Orton's hand in practice, just to make sure he doesnt start.

Let the StanziCityChiefs era begin.

That's strike 14.5!!

A lot of people have said they'd be "throwing Stanzi to the wolves". Whatever the **** that means. He isn't going to die. The worst that could happen is - he comes in and stinks. It's all about experience for him though. If coming in this season and getting wrecked will "ruin his confidence", he isn't worth a shit in the first place.

The season is lost. I don't give a shit what dumbass Clark Hunt says. Playoffs aren't gonna happen. Might as well give our rookie QB some experience, and also give us a chance to evaluate him a little. There's nothing to gain from starting Orton. There is something to gain with playing Stanzi. Just my opinion, but it's the ****ing right one....in my opinion. :D

Oddly enough,busting out on a 1st round Qb is not anywhere near as hard to overcome now as it was 10 years ago.Some folks will remain happy dumpster diving for has beens or never beens and winning 4 games every year.RED AND YELLOW FTW!!!!!!!LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

People are up in arms about this? Of course Romeo should start Orton if he is healthy. He gives him the best chance to win. Demoting Palko to 3rd string and moving Stanzi up to 2nd string is also great news.

Hence Strke #2

no more excuses for these clowns...

Who gives a crap about winning right now? Crennel, that's who. This is a BS move to try to win the remaining games to win a job, when we should evaluate a rookie QB to see if he has any potential for the future. Playing Stanzi, even if it means losing, not only gives us the chance to evaluate him and give him necessary experience, but winning also moves us down in the draft. This is a BS move that is only Crennel trying to win a job for next season, instead of thinking about the future of the franchise.

Plus, if he doesn't get the HC job in KC this becomes an audition for other teams too. He is going to play whoever gives him the best chance.

If you were in Crennel's shoes you would do the same thing. Anyone would if they want the job.

How about the rest of the players? Don't you think they want to win a game after losing the entire month of November? Don't you think the players, who are now fighting for their jobs and future, want the best chance to win?

I'm sure it's an insane week at Arrowhead. They can go with the vet QB who actually played and prepared for GB once this season, or throw the entire staff into the bowels of hell and insist that they not only prepare for GB with a new head coach who might do things differently and request different things on offense, plus get a rookie qb up to speed against the best team in the NFL.

That's why I'm kind of pissed. The rest of this season has become a god damn audition for Romeo Crennel's future career instead of an audition for the possible future QB of the Kansas City Chiefs. I'm not saying Stanzi WILL be the guy, but he COULD be. We won't know if he doesn't play.

You are not making any sense.

I'd prefer someone else as HC. It's probably going to be a tree hire. I'd much rather have Crennel than McDumbass.

I have always figured that Orton would start as soon as he was healthy and knew enough of the playbook. They didn't pick him up and pay him $2.5 million to throw one pass and then sit on his ass.

Unfortunately, he is probably just good enough to lead the team to another win, knocking us further out of the QB hunt. :(

Orton will start if he can go...Stanzi if not..Crennel says Orton probably couldn't play if game was today

Shit. I've been calmouring (?) for a mod position on Chiefs Planet for years. Maybe that's what's wrong. Expressing interest is already a strike against me!

He said right before the new conference as a rumor, then confirmed afterwards.

Which means it's gonna end up being Stanzi.

His finger isn't gonna magically get better in 2 days. If he can't go by Friday they'd be foolish to start him if their goal is to try and win the game.

You're just the worst person to ever live, you know that?

And to the TE speak, when was the last time a TE destroyed this defense?
