Tannehill? Don't know what to think there, but I do think he is a project at best.
So short term, Orton is fine by me, given we won't/can't get any of the first three options.
Plus, I am not convinced Orton might not turn out to be a real NFL QB. And I am convinced Cassel won't.

I understand your point, and it is not that I have any issues with Orton. I have issues with the perpetual system that has plagued this team for longer than I have been alive. If we don't stop now, when will we? It will keep going on and on etc... Once Orton is done, or if he becomes Cassel part deux, we will wash, rinse, repeat. If anything keeping Orton will cause us to do better next year, but not good enough to actually win a playoff game or win the SB, thusly hurting our chances at getting a good QB next year. I would rather try to trade up for Luck or RGIII and if that fails (which it probably will) then take a chance on someone else. What do we really have to lose? It is not like we are a perrenial power right now as is nor do we have the potential of becoming one with our options under center.
