Football Denver Broncos waived quarterback Kyle Orton today

I would also like to see Baldwin continue to develop.

I'm sorry, but captain popgun and his ultimate frisby delivery is not going to help in the development of Jonathan Baldwin.

Orton could help us continue to develop Baldwin and allow our WR corps to continue to build chemistry, not to mention give Albert, Asomoah and I'm sure Hudson (and yes, even Lilja) a much better quarterback to block for, which would allow them to gel a little bit more for next season as well. Those guys learn nothing about playing as a unit when they're blocking for a mad scrambler that wants to throw checkdowns all day. If anything, they'd pick up bad habits for 2012.

I'm sorry, but folks that are loudly against an Orton look are just shouting for the sake of doing so. I've been as vocal a 'draft a QB guy' as any, but Orton doesn't preclude that. Further, Orton would allow us to actually get something out of the last 1/2 of this season whereas Palko would just be marking time.

And yeah, I'd love to see us get Stanzi the PT, but it's not going to happen for whatever reason. The options are pretty obviously Orton or Palko. When those are your choices...you really don't have any choices. It's Orton in a landslide.
