Watching the quarterbacks
Among the 3 quarterbacks on the roster, the guy who threw the ball best on Thursday was Brady Quinn. He appears to have solid mechanics in his drop and has smoothed out some rough edges that were visible in his motion going back to Notre Dame. Matt Cassel threw several nice passes, but he was high on his throws during much of the session. Ricky Stanzi was OK. @Iowa homers.

“I think they’re beginning to gain a command of the system and some of the checks that we have in place,” Crennel said. “They’re all doing well. Probably, Brady and Matt are a little ahead of Stanzi right now, but they’re all working at it. They’re a good group in that room, so we feel good about them.”

I don't recall seeing anything of the sort from Palko. In fact, I remember most here ridiculing Haley for saying Palko was such smart player and the coaches son and blah blah blah, while it never presented itself on the field. The only thing that saved Palko from certain death was the jump pass.

I do.

Romo can't stay healthy worth a darn. Orton will be playing by week 9.

This. Orton would not have been an upgrade.

You guys are just infatuated with the IDEA of a QB better than Cassel. You're seeing things that aren't there.

Look. I AM NOT DEFENDING CASSEL! I want him gone probably more than most, but at least be objective about the facts. CASSEL WILL NEVER TAKE US TO THE SUPERBOWL! let alone win the damned thing. He needs to go.

He isn't the worst QB in the NFL, but he certainly isn't a starter. His true value is more than what we saw last season, but not anywhere near 27-7. I do think he is every bit as good as Orton though. His advantage in the redzone being a huge part of leveling that playing field.

Thank you.

Without naming the QBs, which would you prefer based on their stats?

QB 1-76TDs 45 INTs 18 Fumbles, QB Rating 82.5

QB2-60 TDs 37 INTs 8 fumbles, QB Rating 84.7

QB3-51 TDs, 46 INTs, 9 Fumbles QB Rating 79.0

QB4-55TDs, 51 INTs, 17 Fumbles, QB Rating 73.2

I'll reveal the players later.

When Orton came in, Haley had been fired and Crennel allowed Muir to simply call the plays he chose without running them by him first. Orton got to the line with ample time to make pre-snap reads, a luxury not afforded to Cassel often last season. With the information he was able to gather, he could identify favorable matchups, hot routes, blitzes, and call for a change in blocking assignments accordingly. That, in and of itself, would be a huge plus as far as sacks go.

The difference is, even with all the extra info from pre-snap reads, Orton still couldn't punch it into the endzone.

If you couldn't tell the offense was more productive with Orton, then you should stop following football.

Orton does have issues in the EZ, but the biggest problem was shitty goal line blocking and running.

...and there lies the problem. You're willing to ignore the actual stats and blindly dismiss his play, because of his name.

Who said it wasn't more productive fuqtard? It should have been. For once, there was actually time for pre-snap reads. That is why Orton didn't prove shit. Not only did he have an unfair advantage over Cassel, but he didn't actually produce but 1 TD. All those yards mean shit without points. How many of Ortons trips to the redzone ended in either a FG, Int, or turnover on downs? Answer, all but one.
