I have to run to the bathroom real quick and puke up my lunch now. Holy fucking sh*t that's sad.

Tony Kornheiser just said our offensive coordinator was Josh McDaniels.

In fairness, Kornheiser doesn't really watch sports.

He writes about them and he talks about them. There is only so much time in the day.

Orton's career QB rating is below 80. Yes, he looked good for two seasons in Denver under McDaniels. I think that McDaniels is better than Haley as OC.

Cassel put up comparable numbers when he was with NE and had a better QB rating.

I think that either can be an average QB in the NFL with the right coaching.

See, I think that Cassel is better than Orton. I know that many on here disagree.

I think it will be interesting to see how Orton does with the same talent.

Duh. Pioli and Haley can't protect their reputations going 4-12 in Year Number Three.

6-10 is much prettier on paper. Chiefs fans won't know the difference. (sarcasm)

Sucks for Orton... he is a good guy, took the benching well and right when you think things will go well by being released and picked up by a contender... BAM ... just like Lucy yanking that ball away from Charlie Brown.

he never could find time to play them when he was young either. so he's also a non athletic piece of sh*t, in addition to eshwing actually watching the games.

ESPN sure knows how to pick qualified people for their positions, don't they?

This completely smells of the Chiefs trying to pretend they still have a season, and pretend that losing Cassel meant anything bad.

Play pretend is fun.

For as good of a TE as Gonzo is, this was a selfish move on his part.

I think he was one of the things that needed to change to win a championship. I hope he wins one in Atlanta. I like him, but the culture was one of entitlement and selfishness...not the team.

It should never be a choice between getting a personal record and winning a game.... no matter how insignificant the game is.

I hear Charlie Brown likes getting his balls yanked.

Good grief. That's about all I can say.

He is being talked about on a message board.

Mission accomplished.

So does he start against the Steelers?

DumbHillbillies · 11-23-2011, 04:46 PM

Great he will take cassel's job eventually. Sad but true

We'll probably have to deal with Failco for the next couple of weeks. My question will be is Orton going to be inactive while he learns the offense, or are we moving Stanzi back to inactive?

Mile High Mania · 11-23-2011, 04:48 PM

I will say this... I wasn't interested in him going to CHI and then starting in their game @ Denver in a few weeks.
