If I was Haley.....Stanzi would have gotten the start after Cassel went down. Palko is shit. He's proven that he doesn't have it and the probably never will.

Also, if you want to go back 15 years, there was this guy named Kurt Warner who debuted in 1998 with the shiny draft round pick of.... Oh wait, he wasnt.

$2.5 million is a pretty big gamble.

UPDATE 10:35 p.m. ET: As a reader pointed out on Twitter, claiming Orton has another benefit. When he leaves as a free agent in March 2012, the team that employs him for six weeks would be in line for a compensatory draft pick. So there’s one more good reason to consider doing it.

That's two out of how many?

HEY EVERYONE! THERE IS A .000000001 CHANCE THAT STANZI COULD BE THE NEXT HALL OF FAME QB!!!!

I'm the same way. If my choices are Palko or Stanzi... **** it, throw the kid in there.

But the people shouting NO ORTON, WE MUST GIVE THE SAVIOR STANZI HIS CHANCE make me chuckle.

And there's like a whopping 6% chance that that 1st round QB you picked will win something significant in his career.

HOLY SHIT! 5% is too much to lose out on to not look at a kid when you have no reason not to.

Can we get a ruling from one of the Waiver Wire Gurus here?

If he doesn't report, does he just forefit the rest of his contract or would it be a Plummer like situation where we would own his ass until he reported or was traded?

BUT TOM BRADY DID IT!

The fact that Tom Brady happened makes it WORTH giving him playing time.

He's a 5th round pick, which all but guarantees he won't amount to anything. It wouldn't matter what position he played - 5th round picks have a low probability of panning out. Which means you have NOTHING to lose by playing him. If he flops, it's expected. And if he lights it up, you win big for cheap.

Pretty sure he becomes a UFA at the end of the season no matter the situation.

Well hell. I guess it's time to wear out my F5 button on Twitter.

And I've already stated that that is what I wanted from the beginning. Shit....I would have rather given playing time to Stanzi instead of Cassel.

I'm just tired of the group of people who think that every QB is the next Tom Brady because we drafted him in the 5th round.

The placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player's salary, playing time, and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor.

The Chiefs are not going to get much for a player who plays 6 games. Maybe if he gets a monster contract next season. But who's going to give KO a monster contract?

There would be consequences if he refuses to play for the Chiefs or any other team. For starters, he’d forfeit the balance of his $4.5 million salary in 2011. Also, he’d be subject to an attack on any remaining signing bonus allocation for 2011.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Orton could jeopardize his shot at free agency in 2012.

As best we currently understand the rules, the Chiefs would be able to send Orton a five-day letter, if he doesn’t show. And if within five days after getting the letter he still doesn’t arrive, the Chiefs can put him on the reserve/left squad list, which would shut Orton down for the rest of the year.
