Watching the quarterbacks
Among the 3 quarterbacks on the roster, the guy who threw the ball best on Thursday was Brady Quinn. He appears to have solid mechanics in his drop and has smoothed out some rough edges that were visible in his motion going back to Notre Dame. Matt Cassel threw several nice passes, but he was high on his throws during much of the session. Ricky Stanzi was OK. @Iowa homers.

“I think they’re beginning to gain a command of the system and some of the checks that we have in place,” Crennel said. “They’re all doing well. Probably, Brady and Matt are a little ahead of Stanzi right now, but they’re all working at it. They’re a good group in that room, so we feel good about them.”

Well, they picked him up three weeks before he started, and Haley still started Palko. The division was still in play during those last three games, so I'm glad Orton played. We lose them all with Palko.

Thats Scary because Cassel sucks period but he sucks bigtime on third down.

No, #1 was, even 2 was not happening by that time. Again, I tried for a few weeks last year to root for losses. Couldn't do it.

The Colts started a taller Palko all season. I know you're joking, but players would never throw a game, let alone a season, they'd be out of a job, and I think that would get around that you're a quitter.

Cassel played really well in the second half of that game.

Cassel teams have been better than Orton's on 3rd down in 3 out of the past 4 years. Orton led teams have been ranked higher than 20th in 3rd down % only ONCE in his career.

Same here. And all I know is this. When Orton started playing, our whole team got better. That is what good QB's are supposed to be able to do for a team.

Now this is not about Orton anymore... he is gone. This is about Cassel, Quinn, and Stanzi. And further, can either Quinn or Stanzi do for this offense what Orton did... and maybe even offer up a little bit more.

Probably a little of both.

I think the better play had more to do with the team playing up for Crennel. Orton didn't do anything in the three games he started other than show he's much better than Palko, so is Cassel. Orton and Cassel are interchangeable.
