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 see an interim HC who wants the full time gig. Giving his best hope of getting the job, all the confidence he can safely muster

This is absolutely true. Orton isn't the answer going forward, but he'd better damn well be the starter next year.

He can start first few games, but **** Orton. The sooner we play a draft pick prospect the better for long term success.

If you were going to lock him up to a long term deal they were genius in the structure if not the amount...

Who other than Scott Pioli and SensibleChiefsFan think Cassel can play? Crennel is what, in his mid 60s? He's too old and rich to become a head coach just to be a head coach and probably doesn't even want the job if he is tied to Cassel.

Yep. That's what I was thinking as I typed out my response. I don't see them permanently moving Stanzi up the depth chart with him being an unknown....unless they see a lot during practice and camp. If Orton gets an extension, I don't see us letting Cassel go (unfortunately).

I was really surprised when Crennel came right out and said this during his first post game presser when he doesn't even for sure have the job. I kind of expected a more politically correct answer but he came right out and said what was on his mind. IMO thats one of the positives about him as a potential HC. At least he doesn't sound opposed to replacing a player if they are outperformed by somebody else. True competition at all positions can only be good for the team.

Cassel and Palko have and failed, the Chiefs need to keep Stanzi over both these guys.
