Crennel: Orton Should be Starting QB in 2012 if He Wins Final 2 Games
This could very well be a repost, so I apologize in advance if it is. I didn't see it anywhere on the first page unless it's mixed in on another thread. Pretty interesting that Crennel has come out and said this already IMO.
Interim coach Romeo Crennel said Kyle Orton should be the Chiefs' 2012 starter if he wins the final two games. There's a ton of uncertainty in Kansas City, so Crennel is getting way ahead of himself here. He's no lock to get the head coaching job, Orton is an impending free agent, and Matt Cassel is under contract through 2014. Still, Orton may truly be a better option than Cassel. The Chiefs would be foolish not to at least consider using him as a "bridge" to a rookie quarterback they might draft in April.

I certainly don't think that's a foregone conclusion. If Pioli signs Orton to an extension, I think it could very well signal the end of Cassel. And there is certainly nothing to suggest that they would have to dump Stanzi either.

Because we will not be in position to draft one of the "plug and play" QBs.

Okay. I was just under the impression that we would have to keep him. If Orton gets an extension, and we can get rid of Cassel....I still would be more comfortable keeping Stanzi as a backup if we'd seen more from him this season. Damn it, Haley!

The background of your avatar doesn't blend into the sidebar properly. I redid the color on it if you're interested:

I'm and idiot. To think a draft pick QB will ever start during his rookie year & that growth with the team for long term success can take place.

They have a ready-made excuse (thanks a lot Haley!) to bring Cassel back because we need a "proven" backup. |

Yep, I can't help remember how Beldsoe was run out of town after Brady took over. If Orton were to capture the job I could see the Chiefs keeping Cassel as backup for a year just to give Pioli and Crennel an opportunity to ensure Orton is for real. Orton is definitely bringing excitement to what had become a letdown season.

Chiefs are the most bass ackwards team in the NFL.
Only team not to start a "rookie" QB in over 30 years. Now it comes to sitting behind kyle ****ing orton. ****ing unreal.
