Orton's a free agent after the season. Cassel's out for the season. Unless they claim Orton & sign an extension (PLEASE GOD NO), this has nothing to do with Cassel. It's more of a "we have no faith in Palko" thing (which they should have known all along, but that's another argument).

Only good thing would be that maybe King Neckbeard comes in & plays well, showing Pioli that Casshole isn't anywhere near a franchise QB...

How does having a guy like Palko make sense in the first place? Logical sense? IMO, the only reason they didn't sign a vet backup is because they didn't wanna hurt Cassel's fragile ego.

I'm not saying having Palko anywhere near an NFL roster makes sense. And I tend to agree on your reasoning.

I just don't see how bringing Orton in would have anything to do with the front office's faith in Cassel, unless they were to sign Orton to a contract extension. If Cassel were healthy & we were having this discussion, I could see it. Since he's on IR, I see it as a "we don't like Palko" rather than anything to do with Casshole.
