Forgot to add, even if you're metaphysically certain Orton falls short of SB capability, this team is too good to force through on-the-job training of even a blue chip eventual franchise rookie. Not fair to plug them into a replay of Manning and Aikman's rookie seasons.
Unless Manning is brought in, start Orton and see how far he takes us each year until the franchise draft pick is prepared to call the shots, a la Rodgers.
