I think Orton's a mediocre starter but a fine back-up. I don't see how, given our current situation, that anyone could say this is a bad pick-up.
I still say we should start the kid regardless. |

He was known as a heartless bitch before. Will be interesting to see how much he puts it out on the line for some place he did not want to be.
Oh wait, we saw that in Denver already this season.

Orton's a pro, I think that was just a threat by his agent to get him to land in Chicago. He'll probably report, if for nothing else than to showcase himself for a contract next year. Not reporting will cost him a job and money...

I don't lie Orton much, but I do like this move. I feel like Orton is roughly equal to Cassel. That's not great, but it's certainly better than Palko. And next year, if the Chiefs decide to part ways with Cassel (fingers crossed), Orton will be a solid vet backup/mentor that comes at a much cheaper price than Cassel.

Why?? This team will finish 6-10 if a miracle happens! Let's not try to develop Stanzi, no, let's sign a mediocre veteran and shoot for 7-9! Oooh, 7-9, what a season that would be...
![]() Orton won't be a back up here next season. He'll be a starter if Cassel is not. Damn. Just... damn. |

Maybe he shouldn't have insisted on a re-structured contract and that Miami deal could've gone through. Beggers can't be choosers, Kyle. We need the help at QB to see what we have on this team. Dunno what to tell ya, sport.

Which is not a bad thing at this point, in my opinion. I don't usually fall into the "lose for draft pick" position. This year, however...

Orton might be good enough to take us out of contention to draft a QB in the 1st round. Well, to draft Barkley anyway.

This will be a classic thread I believe.
