Slightly off-topic, but when people say this sort of thing it bothers me (as much as a comment on an internet board can bother me, which isn't much.)
If not for a guy named Peyton Manning, Trent Green would have been the top QB in the NFL during his time with us.
He also went toe to toe with Manning in 2003, answering all of their TD's in a playoff game, and would have won that game (and a great chance at the Super Bowl that year) except that Priest Holmes fumbled and gave them an extra possession in a game where nobody punted (which nobody ever wants to talk about because we all love Priest so much). Both defenses sucked in that game.
We also had Joe Montana and he took us to an AFC Championship game. Is he just another "Orton"?
Now, you can say, well, we didn't draft them. That's a different argument all together, though. To call them "Orton's" when you're trying to say Orton isn't good enough is a slap in the face to those QB's, who played damn well for us.
Now, if you want to talk about the fact that those are the only 2 QB's I can mention in my entire 30 year life of being a Chiefs fan, then we'll probably agree.
