While WE all understand that winning games at this point is probably counterproductive, do you REALLY want Pioli to retain a coach that would WILLINGLY continue to play Palko instead of Orton?

At this point in the season I wouldn't care.If we were 7-4 and in the playoff hunt I would think differently. I see no point in winning anymore games this year and I would rather us lose out. Indy has no issues with it and they will end up with Luck. We will win 4-6 and be hoping for our QBOTF. If we miss him because we started Orton against Chicago when there was absolutely nothing to gain, I would be pissed. The same fans who are eager for Orton to play would be too when the season is over and the short term "high" of a win has worn off and reality sets in. Remember how ecstatic some were when we beat Minn? How bout Indy? Or Oak? Or SD? It felt good to win at the time, but now reality has set in and it all but screwed our chance at Luck.
We are still dangerously close to missing out on RGIII and Barkley without a trade up which I don't see this team doing. If this team does not realize that we need a QB then they all need to be removed. The message coming down to Haley should be to lose out as the season is shot. Anything less than focusing on a QB in this years draft and doing whatever it takes without jeopardizing it's future is short-sighted indeed. If that means we start 7 TO in two games Palko then so be it. Had Cassel been healthy we most likely would have still lost, so what's the difference between losing with Cassel and losing with Palko. Both suck and our offense was inept under both. Orton is not the savior everyone thinks he is. He shouldn't even be on this team as he does nothing for us.
