Why would he stay?

You are correct in that there probably wouldn't be a competition, but you're kind of creating an alternate universe just to knock Pioli. It really didn't matter. Orton did not want to come here in the first place, and tried to get the Chiefs to not claim him. And that was in a situation where he knew he'd be the starter. He wanted nothing to do with Kansas City.
