Orton is not the answer - he is a "short" term solution. Ditch Cassel and Palko, draft a QB in the first and keep Stanzi and Orton (1 yr. contract ?).

What would you say if the zebra shows his stripes in the next 2 games? Will he still be the "answer"? I like him better than Cassel but not as a permenant solution.

I'm not 100% certain of the cap implications but all of the guaranteed money has already been paid, so the cash hit to Hunt is basically zero.

Yes because add Hightower this D becomes elite and makes up for a lot of defficiencies.

Who cares? We've been operating $30mil under the cap.

Hightower will be available in the 2nd round.

Hmm thanks hts

I thought that I'm hoping pioli moves on from cassel not sure if he will though

I'm saying we should draft the guy reminds me of ray Lewis a beast on the field

No, I'm using the fact that we just drafted a QB, that we haven't even seen, and the fact that we have one now, that will do for a few years, as an excuse. If the BPA is a QB so be it. I'm not selling my soul for anyone in the draft. Let Stanzi and the unknown battle it out. I'm all about getting a shiny new QB but I'm not giving up 2 first and 2 seconds or whatever unreasonable crap you guys are throwing out. If it's something like this years 1st and next years 2 second, I'll do that, but I'm not going to go all crazy for anyone.

If the BPA is a WR do you draft him?
If the BPA is a SS do you draft him?
If the BPA is a CB do you draft him (assuming Carr is re-signed)?

LMAO

Sure is ****ing sad how people around here will get on their knees for the first 299-yard passer that buys the fanbase a drink.

Good point, I'll go BPA in a position of need. I'm not drafting any of those that you put up, not in the first. If it's a QB then great. I'm just not up for throwing eight picks for one player. Shit, I still want to see what Stanzi has.

In the words of the great htismaqe: "Better than bad ≠ good"

I'm tired of the OT in first talk every year. We can get one in later rounds or free agency.


If we want a new face of franchise trade up get QB sign orton and let the fun begin.

If not then trade down draft the one thing this D needs a ILB by DJ the thumper to shut down runs up the middle.

This team isn't as far away as most think

Orton had a really good game against Green Bay by anybody's standards.

If you want to shut down runs up the middle, we need a NT.
