With seven loses and a difficult schedule I'm torn between wanting the Chiefs to win games or get in position to get a top draft pick. I don't expect Orton to be all world, hell if he goes .500 I'd be impressed. But deep down I'd rather rebuild for next year instead of seeing us go .500 and limit our options in the draft.

I want to see what Orton can do.

He's the only shot Cassel isn't back next year.

I'll take that over our shot at the 3rd ranked QB in the draft.

As a Chiefs fan, I'm always eager to watch someone else's backup perform as our starter.

The Chiefs need to Suck for Barkley now.

Orton is not the long term answer for the Chiefs at QB.

I'm with you. A journeyman QB that gets his ass cut mid-season is a much better option.

I would rather lose out with Stanzi and draft a QB. If they promised that starting Orton meant Cassel is out and they were going to draft a QB then I am ok with it.

Sure lets see what Orton can do.

I feel like we could already guess what we're going to get. A slightly upgraded version of Cassel.

That being said, even with Orton I think we could lose out.

I don't think we'll get a shot a Barkley unless we trade up. If we do? Fine. If not, even better IMO. Things are lining up nicely for RG3. :thumb:

At this point I don't care if we win or lose. If we have to trade more than 1 #1 pick to move up and get a QB fine. Trade our next 2 drafts away, I don't give a shit. None of those picks matter without a QB anyway.

Yep.

I felt this way in last year's draft. I just couldn't get excited about the team and their draft with Matt Cassel still being the guy.

Same thing for this draft. It would be nice to get interested again in some of the other positions if they would simply try to address the QB problem.

Everything else is secondary.

Good QBs make up for other positions anyway, so getting a solid one almost gives you a mulligan on not hitting it out of the park on certain picks. You don't need an elite Oline or elite WRs if you have a great QB.

Guys like Welker, Nelson, and Brown are good WR's but I can't believe they would be that way with a poor QB like Bowe has been.

This team is playing their ass off right now, even despite the adversity. Start Orton. Continue to encourage this team to play tough. And let our young guys develop. Don't EVER send the message to your team that you're mailing the season in for draft picks.

It's one thing if Stanzi was a first round pick. We're really reaching if we're getting riled up because we dont' want to start a rookie 5th round pick.

I believe Orton will start. I think it is REALLY important to the coaching staff that Stanzi finishes the entire season on the bench. "He's not ready" is they excuse. Think they REALLY think that is one thing that separates late round success from failure.

Think about it, will Gabbert ever rebound from this? We know he COULD be a starting caliber Qb in this league, but the odds were weighed against him coming in and succeeding b/c he ran a spread and just wasn't ready. What about Ponder, he's playing alright, but still has question marks. Will his baptism prove to be detrimental?

I'll never want them to just lose. But had we pulled out this one against Pittsburgh, I would have been very much so hopeful that Orton could get us back in the division race. Now, that is truly an afterthought. I have little interest in what Orton does as he will probably only be here for 5 starts.

Even if the Chiefs lose out, they miss out on both Luck and Barkley. What would be the point? Does anyone really want Jones? Some say yes, just b/c they want the Chiefs to FINALLY take a first round QB, but if he sucks as bad as it looks like he will, do you really want to be saddled with him for the next 3-4yrs? Fuck that. Only QB I'd touch in round one, that will be available to us is RGIII. Even that scares me as he is severely boom/bust.

Landry Jones doesn't even look that great at Oklahoma this year.

The Chiefs should find themselves in a position to draft Barkley or RGIII, as long as they don't screw things up and win down the stretch (I don't see how that is possible with their remaining schedule).

Stanzi hardly got any time at all to play during the preseason. IIRC, he only played in two preseason games. Cassel played practically the entire last game against the Packers & against the third stringers our offence couldn't muster nothing to win the game.

See what Orton can do? He was waived by the Broncos and lost his job to Tebow. He has 5 wins in 2 years and we are team #3 for him. I want a franchise QB through the draft. The best way to get that is to pick high. Orton hurts those chances without being anything more than a typical Chiefs solution at QB (stopgap).

Denver thought so highly of Orton that they didn't sign anyone after they waived him. An empty roster spot is more valuable to the Broncos than Orton.

My thoughts are PLAY STANZI,,give the kid a shot. You will learn if he may have it or not,,but he has to get away from Cassel and Orton. Then go after RG3,,he is very mobile and with our line,,our QB better damn well be very mobile or he will get killed!

What pressure?

Everybody knew when it was 13-9 and the Chiefs needed to go 80 yards to win it that they were GOING TO LOSE.

Collinsworth was giving 2:1 odds that they couldn't score for Christ's sake!

Stanzi had zero pressure at that point. Put him in there and there's 2 possible outcomes:

1) He either satisfies expectations COMPLETELY by throwing a pick and ending the game, just like Palko or
2) He scores and instantly becomes the most popular guy in KC. More popular than Matt Cassel. Oops, can't have that. Sit him.

There is nothing to discredit... Orton does nothing for this franchise now or going forward. Its a wasted opportunity if he plays. Stanzi needs to play this year, period. Cassel, Orton and Palko all need to be released this offseason and we need to go in a different direction, IE Draft a QB and play him.

I'm sure it has been said repeatedly in this thread already, but we need Orton to come in and move this offense. Palko, despite his god-awfulness, has actually pushed the ball downfield, adding to the point we've all been making about Cassel.

Now....if we had a QB that had Palko's mentality of pushing the ball downfield combined with talent, great decision making and a strong arm, we'd have a damn good offense.

Orton should at least have the decision making part of that equation, further adding to Cassel's demise.

At this point, my fear is that the problem is much deeper than Cassel. I see an inept offensive coordinator. I know Cassel isn't all world, but the Chiefs have Breaston and Bowe.

I would like to see what he can do with Orton down the stretch. As far as I am concerned, Haley is a bigger problem than Cassel. I know I am in the minority.

Orton is seen by many in here as an upgrade. So, lets see what Haley can do with him. I don't think he is an upgrade, but if Haley can't get something going for the last three games with him... then he needs to be gone.

Part of me would rather lose

But the other part of me needs to see if our offensive coaches can actually make it work at all.

There is nothing to discredit... Orton does nothing for this franchise now or going forward. Its a wasted opportunity if he plays. Stanzi needs to play this year, period. Cassel, Orton and Palko all need to be released this offseason and we need to go in a different direction, IE Draft a QB and play him.

Orton makes this team better than cassel. That's what he brings. I believe orton helps us get rid of cassel. I believe orton makes cassdl easier to trade which gets us draft picks. I believe if orton does well, we sell more tickets and get more season ticketholders next year, which gives us more free agency money. And orton is the best guy to help the other 21 starters develop as winners.

This is good for us as long as it doesn't mean we settle for less at an and refuse to draft a high value qb.

We're not going to draft a QB. It's just not happening.

I'd like to see Orton for one reason - somebody needs to show these pukes that Cassel has no business being anywhere this team.

Right now, Palko is bolstering their argument that Cassel should be retained. Or at least I can see where they could use Palko's play to bolster that argument.

Still think you're wrong and it has everything to do with pre snap. Watch Palko tap linemen on the head, shift blockers around... These are things cassel never did in 3 years. pretty clear he relied too heavily on the play called in. He has no ability to adjust to what the defense is showing.

Sadly yes.

I hope...hope...that Pioli doesn't need to see anymore of Cassel to know he sucks. What Orton could show us is whether Haley deserves consideration to be retained. Without some TD scoring, why retain an offensive-minded head coach who can't score?

After watching Palko and listening to Haley's defenses of him and how "excited" he is to see Palko "develop", I don't see any need to evaluate Haley further. He can go.

Not interested in abOrton at all. My nitemare is that he plays at a very high level they ditch Cassel and we keep Orton and they pass on a QB and take a RT at #8.

my eyes! my eyes!

reading that hurt my eyes... :huh: :huh: :huh:

I want to see Orton, because 1 TD in 45 drives is mind boggling.

Play Orton! It is the best chance to bump both Cassel and Palko off the roster.

The only game I really care about at this point is OAK. Raider fan at work and I have a standing lunch bet for each game.

My opposition to getting Orton was that it inhibits the development of Stanzi. Now that its become clear that unless Palko and Orton are discovered fondling little children that Stanzi will not get a chance to play, I guess its time to turn it over to Orton.

He said orton will get some snaps with the starters this week but didn't commit any more than that publicly
