It's the eyeball test. Orton has been in the league for a long time now.
We know who he is. He's a hot/cold guy who is a fair upgrade over Cassel.
He's the type of guy who will always be around 15th or so best QB in the league. It works for now.
I'm even okay with Orton as the QB next year for a bit assuming we draft a QB in the first. That's the key. That doesn't change the fact that the Chiefs need to finally do what they have neglected to do which is take a gamble and draft a QB in the first. It's the mostly likely way to get a franchise QB. They haven't done it and thus we haven't won. Simple as that.
