By no means is saying that I would bring Orton back the same as saying I don't care if we have a star QB.
There isn't a QB worth taking at 11 in this draft, there just isn't. If you take Tannehill at 11, you're worse shape for 2013 than you would by simply taking Bray, Wilson or Murray in 2012. Tannehill is so damn raw that he'd get absolutely abused this year anyway and you'd be looking at having your QBOTF a little shell-shocked, but hopefully ready to go in 2013.
OR you could draft a QB in 2012 when you're going to have a significantly better QB draft. There will be 5 QBs in the draft next year that are better than the #3 QB in this season's draft.
Quit talking past people - you can do everything you want to do in chasing a franchise QB while also getting a guy like Orton that can absolutely help you win now.

Big fat this.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows we need a Franchise signal caller. There are 20-something teams in this league that want one.
If they grew on trees, we'd all have one.
So, if you don't have one, and are not in a position to get one, then you need to figure out another way to score points. You can't just quit developing your offense and trying to win games because we don't have Tom Brady.
You have to continue to develop your offense and search for your next QBOTF at the same time.
