Chiefs Chiefs get Orton - Page 7

**RealSNR** · 11-23-2011, 03:29 PM

And actually, I feel sorry for Orton, too. The dude has a chance to really help out a competing team this year and here he is stuck in the mire and rape in Kansas City

Mr_Tomahawk · 11-23-2011, 03:29 PM

Well...

...at least he has the ability to throw the ball beyond 20 yards.

mcaj22 · 11-23-2011, 03:30 PM

yea we will get a comp pick when this turd walks in Free Agency

so

teedubya · 11-23-2011, 03:30 PM

At least this ****ing QB didn't cost us a 2nd round pick. heh.

Maybe we could trade him to Chicago for a 5th or something at the end of the year. lol

See, I told you we would **** over the Bears by claiming Orton..hahahhaa

Bears sign Josh McCown

A couple of moments after news broke that the Chiefs were awarded quarterback Kyle Orton on waivers, the Bears announced that they added a quarterback of their own.

The team signed Josh McCown to a one-year contract that was likely sitting in a drawer until the moment the team was sure that they would not be adding Orton for the stretch run. According to Adam Schefter, the Bears did put in a claim on Orton so McCown was their Plan B.

McCown was cut by the 49ers at the end of training camp. He spent 2010 in the UFL and has played with the Panthers, Dolphins, Raiders, Lions and Cardinals. McCown has started 31 games in his NFL career, but he’s probably best known for nearly getting his finger lopped off by brother Luke when the two of them were chopping wood before the start of the 2008 season. McCown was expected to start for the Dolphins that year but wound up traded to the Panthers after the team acquired Chad Pennington.

The addition of McCown gives the Bears a bit more depth, but it doesn’t give them a better option than Caleb Hanie over the final six weeks of the season. Hanie will have to do enough to keep the Bears on the playoff track or one of Lovie Smith’s best Chicago teams will find itself out of the mix come January.

I'm so sorry.

I knew some people once that got a dog from the pound - the dog turned out to be a biter.

They knew that the dog would get put down if they told the pound that he bit people, so they just told them that they couldn't keep him because of allergies.

A few weeks later, the pound calls them and asks if they had any problems with biting. It turns out that the new owners got him home, and he bit a guest in their home. They were threatening a lawsuit.

I bet those people felt like I do right now.

Orton > Cassel.

No troll.

**007** · 11-23-2011, 03:31 PM

The Chiefs cannot trade him this year so stop with the trade talk. The deadline already passed.

mcaj22 · 11-23-2011, 03:32 PM

why or how do people think we can trade this guy

there is no scenario that we can trade him for anything at this point in the season and/or in the offseason lol.

he walks regardless.

Who knows what Pioli is thinking. It's impossible to read much into future plans with this.

This is probably right. The only thing that's really obvious from this is 1) they want to win now and 2) they just don't feel Stanzi has shown that he's ready to start.

I'm not sure it means we won't draft a 1st round QB. This move only gets us through the next 6 weeks, nothing beyond that. It's entirely possible they see Stanzi as the future and want to give him his entire rookie year to learn... or maybe Orton comes in with pretty much no training camp and shows up Cassel.

I actually think it's interesting because they've taken a risk that could easily make the "franchise" QB everyone believes they're in love with expendable. Today could very well be a sign that the Cassel era is over.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if we were never drafting a first round QB anyway. Something I hate about this organization.
