Was winning this game worth completely blowing any shot at a QB?

While Orton would outplay Cassel and Palko, he does not deserve any credit for our win. This is all on our defense. It is sad that our QB situation is so bad that some are looking to Orton as the solution on offense.

Absolute BS. He moved the ball masterfully. The plays inside the 5 were called horribly. Our Defense played amazing. But apart from getting stuffed like 10 times in the RUN, we should have won that game by 20.

He moved the ball masterfully up and down the field, but when it came to punching it in the end zone, we did it only once. GB plays a bend but don't break defense. They allow teams to move the ball up and down the field, but shut them down in the red zone. They did that to us today. This win was on the defense without question.

The Chiefs shut themselves out with dropped TD passes and penalties.

Well with the last two quarterbacks we've had the defense doesn't win today. So credit to Orton for letting our defense win today.

Thats competely fair. BUT if we are trying to win a SB, we need to STOP comparing our next QB to Cassel and Palko. That is a good way to get a slight upgrade and nothing more.

Yep, he helped by dominating time of possession and not creating turnovers. Good game by Orton. If we got down by three TDs he probably wouldn't have played as well, but we kept it close and came out on top by playing a complete game.
