Why not Kellen Moore ?
There may be the second coming of Drew Brees in this years draft. Kellen Moore is a coaches son who has incredible accuracy and pocket awareness. Here's a link.

The reason the list of failed scrawny quarterbacks with college arms that busted at the NFL level is fairly short is because teams aren't dumb enough to actually waste time, money and resources putting an effort into them.

So apart from not having nearly as good a college career as Griffin or nearly the personal strengths that RGIII has, not to mention not having close to the raw speed and athleticism RGIII has - there's really no similarity between the two. Oh, that's right, gotta compare black guys to black guys. Idiot.

I love all the debate.
But WTF? If you have a choice going into 2012 naming your starter, Moore or Cassel... How many morons would chose Cassel? |

If the question is "what would you do" I'd go with Orton and take a stab at someone like Foles in the 2nd or 3rd and hope that the 2012 draft yields a better crop (it will). Actually, that's a lie, I'd make Manning a Godfather offer first and then settle for Orton if necessary. In either event, I damn sure wouldn't waste a roster spot on Moore. If the question is "what would the Chiefs do" you know they'll go with Cassel. There's just no scenario where "Cassel or Moore and only Cassel or Moore" is a realistic scenario to ponder. You can't honestly believe that Moore could step in next season and suddenly make this a contending team. Surely you're not going to make that leap. In which case, you're essentially suggesting that we draft him as a long-term option and there's just no way he's worth the trouble there. There are probably 10 quarterbacks in the draft that make better developmental options than him and if you're looking for a stopgap, Brandon Weeden is a better option for a couple of years.

It still seems strange to me that so many people refuse to view Orton for what he is - an average NFL quarterback that will do until someone better comes along. Folks like you that absolutely hate the guy see him as precluding a search for a legitimate game-changer for the franchise. I don't understand that. The Chiefs are the best team in the AFC West with Orton under center next season and if he plays like he played in 2009 and 2010 in Denver, they're absolutely a team that could do some damage in the playoffs. And they could do all that while still developing Foles or a similar project for the future. It's really not as either/or as some of you want it to be - unless the 'either' is Cassel - in which case I agree that there's really no point.

Great...Nick Foles. The guy who can't come off his first read. But he's almost as big as Cassel and almost as athletic.

Great - Kellen Moore, the guy that can't throw an out route without a full windup. But he's almost as big as Ty Detmer and almost as accomplished.

One can generally discern the quality of an opponents argument by the amount of shit said opponent has to construct from whole cloth in support of same.

For some reason Moore reminds me of a midget Elway...I don't know why...
