Why would Orton want to sign on as a one year stopgap or a backup? It's possible that there won't be enough interest in him to do otherwise, but I think that's kind of unlikely given the number of teams looking for QBs.

You expected the team to get rid of him after the 2010 season?

Just saying it's a possibility that he signs somewhere as a backup, so why not here?

I don't expect them to ever get rid of him.

My comment is based on what we've heard from the fans.

"They have to see that Cassel isn't a guy that you can win a SB with."

"Pioli has to be losing patience, this will be Cassel's last year, IMO."

IMO, if Orton is available for backup prices, it's a no-brainer to sign him as Cassel's competition unless a better option (e.g. Manning) is available. The more interesting question is Cassel plus a lesser version of competition (e.g. Brady Quinn or Jason Campbell) versus a 3 year commitment to Orton.

My point is we need a backup anyway, if Orton can be had cheap enough why not.

Our QB situation reminds me of that scene from Major League where the two Indians fans in the bleachers are arguing about the Home Run.

*Crack of bat*

"Too high."

*ball lands 20 rows deep*

"What do you mean, too high?"

"I mean, it looked too high, like..."

"Who gives a shit, it's gone."


Chiefs Version:

"Cassel"

"Orton"

"Who gives a shit, we're screwed."

I understand your point and I agreed with it. But the more interesting question is what we do if Orton isn't willing to sign for backup money. Both sides have to be willing to agree to get a contract signed.

cardinals have given up on kolb after one year

you don't chase bad money

"They're still shitty"

Lamicheal james in rd 2?

LMAO

Exactly.

Have Cassel back up Stanzi I guess.....more dreaming.

I miss the days when free agency began at midnight. Even though contact was forbidden before the stroke of the clock you'd have new deals announced at 12:02 a.m.

Plus, you could wake up in the morning and say "God Damnit Carl" over your bowl of cereal.
