Orton can sling it around. I forget the exact stat... but when we claimed him they had a stat on ESPN about how Orton was literally one of the league's top QBs throwing beyond 15 yards.
The flipside is he forces things sometimes, and he struggles in the red zone sometimes as well. But he absolutely can make all the NFL throws, and I'm not sure he's ever played with a group of WRs this talented. |

What we saw today is that even just a mediocre QB who can make reads and deliver the ball accurately and on time, and whose arm strength has to be respected by the defense, can improve the play of those around him.
Except in short yardage situations, the OL opened holes for the running game, and in pass protect, Orton had all day to throw. And these receivers caught damn near everything. Imagine what it would be like with a better than mediocre QB. |

Orton can stay in KC as long as he wants, IMO. Remember this... he is playing with a ****ed up throwing hand!
I was very impressed with him. Great game. It is only ONE game, but I was NEVER this encouraged with Casshole. |

I will say that Orton played well. And, I am glad the Chiefs have more options at QB going into next year. But, to say the situation is the same is foolish. |

Haley's a ****ing coach. He can only do so much with the talent he is given. He isn't Tim Tebow who can part the red ****ing sea. Pioli didn't supply him with a QB capable of winning consistently in the NFL. |

Orton played a great game no doubt but let's remember they were playing one if not the worst D in the NFL. Let's see what he does the next couple of weeks.

After watching a competent QB like Orton, not only is Cassel not a legit starter, he isn't even a good backup QB.
