I disagree. KC is a team that the QB situation is far from locked down. Maybe even DC which I heard could also be interested. There is a almost a third of a season left. He would have lower risk going to a mediocre team and winning a few games than a playoff contender and possibly being expected to save their season.
A knock on Orton is that he has no heart so if he goes the route you are stating then I completely believe that reputation is well earned and will get even more entrenched.
