Crennel: Orton Should be Starting QB in 2012 if He Wins Final 2 Games

[Chiefnj2]

If he was so attached to Cassel, why would he have gone the Kyle Orton route?

Apparently he is open to the idea that Cassel is a problem.


But ... much like around here, there is still the conflict about changing the Head Coach and the QB at the same time. Hurts your ability to gauge how much of the problem was the HC and how much was the QB.

Exactly.

Because Cassel was out for the season, Palko sucked, and Orton only had a few games left on his contract.

Picking up Orton really says nothing about how he feels about Cassel because Cassel is on IR.

Sure it does. For the last 2 years, all I've read is how Pioli won't bring in any competition for QB. With the season half way over, and injuries all over the place, KC could have easily sat still and just played Stanzi (everyone) or Palko (Haley). Pioli knew that if Orton played well, it would start a QB controversy.

i haven't noticed Cassel on the sidelines the last three weeks, could that mean more than we think about his relationship with Pioli?

i mean when the colts play we see Manning on the sidelines helping the backup QB's
just curious.

Cassel was on the sideline Sunday and was wearing an earpiece. Whether he was communicating with the team or talking to his wife on the cellphone, I have no idea.

Because Cassel has almost as much knowledge to pass along as Manning?

Cassel brings nothing to the table.
