Orton
 

Sign him now!

Boot broke dick Cassel, Keep stanzi, draft QB.

That is all.

CHIEFS!

Sounds good.

I'd live with this. As long as we draft a QBOTF in the next 2 years. I don't want us to reach on a broke-dick pick when we need help other places but QB has to be top priority unless it just makes little sense come draft time based on availability and cost to trade up

Kyle "Pro Bowl" Orton

Hes not great, but hes hella better than cassel. Im ok signing him if we also get a qbotf

Yep

It was nice seeing passes insteads of lobs and wobblers.

He cuts a dashing figure in red.

Dude is LIGHT years better than Cassel.

Wow. It was amazing seeing a real-ish QB out there.

No doubt. I was telling my wife, this is the first game I have been fired up about in two years. Orton has a great FAST release. No chance we would have won this game with broke dick Cassel, or waste of skin Palko.

Gentlemen,

keeping Orton means only one thing: We won't draft a QB. This sick, gutless franchise will now allow an overall loser like Orton to get us just close enough to sniff something good but not good enough to get us somewhere great. (cliche, I know)

He's another Deberg, another Bono, another Elvis.

I don't want another journeyman. I've seen enough of this kind of crap for 40 years. Draft and develop. I jusat cringe at the mileage the front office will try to get out of this win.

This and more of this.
Cassel needs to be homeless in Detroit.
Sentenced to never wear RED again!

Keep Orton. Get a QB first round.

maybe, maybe and a hell no!

we aren't drafting a qb anyway.

Keep Orton AND draft a QB. He will give us our best chance to win until the new QB is ready and make a great back up when that happens.

Orton made more throws today than Cassel makes in 10 games. Just shows you what a piece of shit Cassel is.

Omega can you photoshop a trollface on orton?

Run Palko and Cassel out of Kansas City and then pick up a "NFL ready" QB in the draft.
Depth Chart-
1: Orton
2: Stanzi
3: Rookie
(:
Oh and get rid of Sabby Pickmynose.

Yea, I was probably allowing myself to be fooled.

Magically the screen game and play action was there today.

More than just throws...he can read a defense, and find the open guy.

Sign him. He's a capable backup.

Get rid of Cassel. Orton is light years better.

Trade up and draft a quarterback.

Maybe we can give Cassel and a 2nd rounder to the Browns?

yeah but think they have the stones to do this?
or at least seriously give stanzi a shot

No turnovers against a team that feasts off of them.

We just dominated the Super Bowl Champs and an undefeated team this year. I think for the investment, we have what we need. Spend somewhere else and make what we have better. Defense wins Championships. while a QB would be nice I believe Orton could be what we have lacked. A real QB.

This

I would hope so, but I would be surprised. Cassel is Poli's boy and he's still swinging from his nut sack.

Something like this maybe??

Troll neckbeard!

ROFL

Well done!

Wow one game, Orton did a decent job but lets not get carried away with him just yet. He is a retread QB that has failed at two other teams.
He did good job today with playaction pass and leading to 4 frieldgoals and a touchdown drive nice job but we can do better in the draft. I still want to see Stanzi.



Must

Not

let

true

fandomism

take

over

soul body & mind.

I would say the win today helps him win in FA

There is no way we can get rid of him after seeing his preformance against a quality (understatement I know lol) team...
Although, I do want to see that we draft another qb in the draft.

Man i never seen cassel do what orton did here look at him look off the man on pope.

Definitely, he took #42 and kept him focused away from Pope. He pretty much created that coverage bust with that look off.

From what I've read, it sounds like the big difference Orton made today was hanging in the pocket (or keeping the play alive) when the first option wasn't open or available and going through the entire progression to find the open guy.

It sounds like that why guys like Pope and Blech saw some positive results.

It's amazing what you can do when you are actually able to use "all" the weapons at your disposal.

FAX

Like cockroaches after a nuclear holocaust.

Exactly. He hit 10 different receivers, used pump fakes, and didn't stare down Bowe/Breaston every play.

x1000000000000

you can already feel chiefs fans starting to settle....

year 4 of the rebuild and we're building a superbowl team with Orton?

****ing really?

jesus aids christ

Palko and Cassel met tonight to polish up their resumes. Cassel with hopes of carrying a clipboard in a #2 spot somewhere next year.... Palko, trying to decide if a Ford or Chevrolet dealership would be better in Pittsburg.

I wanted to draft Orton in 2005, also wanted to trade for him in 2009 to bridge the gap for Sanchez, alas we finally got him. He is a solid starter but not what we need to win the Super Bowl. We still to draft and develop a first rounder to do that. But for the first time since Trent Green played for us in the playoffs against Indianapolis, do we have a legit NFL starter playing for us.

Give Orton a fair two-year deal.
Then go get Griffin, Barkley or Foles.

People need to be reminded...

So...isn't Orton an UFA next year?

His ball fake was great today.

Contributing to the developing narrative: a column by Andrew Logue in The Des Moines Register in Iowa:


KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The expression on Kyle Orton’s face reflected his satisfaction.

“That’s about as much fun as I’ve had on a football field,” Orton said Sunday after quarterbacking the Kansas City Chiefs to a 19-14 upset of the previously unbeaten Green Bay Packers.

Orton, a former Southeast Polk star who was released by the Denver Broncos a month ago, orchestrated the biggest shocker of the NFL season.

He finished 23-of-31 passing for 299 yards in his starting debut for the Chiefs, gaining instant credibility.

“Your teammates don’t really know you, until you get in that huddle,” Orton said. “I kind of turn into a little bit of a different person.”

Orton became the catalyst for a victory in Romeo Crennel’s initial game as Kansas City’s interim coach, calming the storm that culminated with Todd Haley’s firing and the benching of former starting quarterback Tyler Palko.

“We asked him to protect the football,” Crennel said of Orton, “take what the defense is giving you.

“I think his experience as an NFL quarterback helped him control the offense.”

Orton guided the Chiefs (6-8) to field goals on their opening two drives, then completed two key passes during a fourth-quarter touchdown drive that put Kansas City ahead 19-7 with 4:53 remaining.

It was enough to subdue the Packers (13-1) and give Orton temporary bragging rights over reigning Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers, who was 17-for-35 passing for 235 yards.

“He’s just a natural leader,” said Chiefs running back Thomas Jones, who was a teammate of Orton’s with the Chicago Bears. “You just kind of feel his presence in the huddle.

“He’s played in a lot of games and had a lot of success. He’s confident in his ability.”

Orton’s veteran savvy was a factor early last week when Crennel decided to play him over former Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi, a rookie.

“(Players) would know who the guy was going to be and give them an opportunity to learn his cadence and his voice,” Crennel said.

“Adapting to that was beneficial to us, because he took all the reps in practice.”

As a result, Kansas City’s offense seemed in sync for one of the few times this year.

“From the beginning of the game, all the way down to the end,” Stanzi said, “he just did an awesome job of not only managing the game, but making plays.”

The Packers owned a 19-game winning streak and had not trailed in the fourth quarter all season. One of those wins came Oct. 2, when Green Bay beat Orton and the Broncos 49-23.

“I think the guy is a damn good quarterback,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “I’m not questioning coaching decisions that have gone on in the past, but I’ve always felt Kyle is an excellent player.”

Orton, who has a career record of 34-33 as an NFL starter, will be at the center of more decisions this offseason.

He could become a free agent, if he doesn’t sign with Kansas City. The Chiefs, meanwhile, have not decided who will be their permanent head coach.

Crennel was asked if Orton could be a long-term option.

“If we win these next few games with him and he continues to play like he did, then you might have to say that,” Crennel answered.

Orton deflected such questions.

“We play Oakland next week,” he said. “That’s the only thing we can think about.”

Kyle Orton is from Iowa, correct?

Yes he is from a suburb of Des Moines.

Link?

I believe we are united in this.

Unfortunately, I have no faith in Pioli to draft a QB.

Oh, he'll draft one, but no higher than the third.

that's so cool and awesome!

nice article on this topic.

thanks

YES YES AND MORE YES

Agree. :clap:

I believe Pioli thinks Stanzi is their guy.

He may be. We, as fans, will never know until we see him, though.

I'm hoping for some blow out wins or losses in these last 2. Only way we'll get to see him since we still aren't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

If they signed Orton to a 2 year deal and released Cassel tomorrow my day would be made. There is no way Cassel should be on the roster.

We still need to draft a QB and I don't see it happening :(

Orton and Cassel are the exact same age. There is just no ****ing reason to keep Cassel over Orton. Neither is a long term answer but there is no question who should be retained.

I'd at least try and trade Cassel before cutting him. There are some teams that might want him and his contract was front loaded. Even if we were only offered a 4th-7th, I would take it.

ugh, Cassell is so bad. Everyone would laugh if you tried to call up and trade him.

I almost feel bad for them. Matt Cassel has abused so many Chiefs fans that they now see Kyle Orton as the face of hope. Just because he doesn't put his cigarettes out on your skin doesn't make him a keeper.

Here's some food for thought:

How many of his incompletions were those red zone passes to the front left corner of the endzone? They must have thrown to that spot 5 times without a completion. There were clearly some timing issues. More time with these receivers and he probably starts completing those, making what was a good day exponentially better.

I hate to say it, but having seen what this team can do with him, it's hard for me to imagine letting him walk.

Cassel seems to have a better reputation around the league than he does in KC, there's probably some trade value there for someone. Let's hope. Watching Orton today put a finer point on how bad Cassel is - it's been a long time since we've seen some routine down-field completions you should expect.

I think he would have some trade value. The problem is his salery. I could see someone wanting him for a backup but not for the money he is making. Unless he agrees to a new deal I don't see him being traded. And I'm no football genius by any stretch but I don't see him starting anywhere else right now. I think he probably either stays here or gets cut outright.

Donger is going to flip out with all the inacuracies in this thread

Orton was great today. Best QB play we've had for years. But we know that guy's ceiling. We've seen him with 2 teams already and I'm not convinced after one game in which the world champs lost 2 linemen and were without their best WR. I know everybody is on an emotional high that we haven't seen from this team in a long time but jumping on the "sign Orton long-term" wagon is completely knee-jerk at this point.

It seems like it is either him or Cassel, so out of those choices it seems obvious.

I think its fair to say that "anybody but Cassel" is the sentiment shown by some fans.

I agree. I dont think anyone is viewing him as the "Answer". Id like him to be a bridge to a young QB for a year or two though.

His game yesterday was impressive. Might have been the most complete Chiefs QB performance in years. It definately was between the 20's.

1. Sign Orton
2. Release Castle and Palko
3. Draft a QB.

This is absolutely correct. It also doesn't even mention the fact that Green Bay was pretty clearly flat in that game.

They were....it obviously wasnt that important a game to them (in the grand scheme of things). But lets give the Chiefs D some credit too. They deserve it. They played well.

I agree, sign Orton, release Cassel(could be done for less money than Cassel will make, I assume?). Let Orton groom a rookie QB, whether it be Stanzi or one obtained in the draft. Not a long term answer with Orton, but sure enough a short term! It sure was nice to see a QB wearing a Chiefs uniform, who could come off his intended receiver and find another receiver open elsewhere on the field!

It's not either/or. It's both. That's the problem with this place: a complete inability to recognize and understand nuance.

It should be pointed out Orton already played Green Bay once this season and was 22/32 3 touchdowns 1 int

- We are not going to draft a QB in the 1st round if we sign Orton to a new contract.

- Orton will not sign with KC if he is going to be the backup.

Stop suggesting these ridiculous scenarios.

If we sign Orton, he is our starting QB. At best we would draft another QB in the mid/later rounds.

i think Green Bay expected the Chiefs to be a walk in the park.

NOt sure what you mean here.
