Those are 2 TDs that weren't his fault and another that was more a product of short prep time. There's reason to believe that a lot of that will either firm up or iron out over time.

The problem has never been 'Good Orton'. Everyone agrees that when Orton is right, he can be a very good quarterback. The problem is 'Bad Orton'. When Orton's not right, he's a turnover machine that can kill any team he's leading.

The key for Orton will be to cut back on the number of 'Bad Orton' games while also lessening just how bad he is when that guy emerges.

I don't see that as an impossible task, to be honest. He's definitely a viable option as a 2-3 year stop-gap while we take a stab or two at a 10-year option. Overpay the man if need be, but get a damn quarterback in here.

We might have to go that route although it makes me sick to think about. I highly doubt Pioli will trade up enough to get Luck or RGIII which are the only two QBs worth trading up for. No one else is in my opinion worth a first round selection. I don't want us to draft a second round caliber or later talent at QB in the first just for the sake of drafting a first round QB. That would be counter productive. For what it's worth, if I was in Pioli's position I would give up as many picks as needed to draft either Luck or RGIII.

This but forget about Luck, I`m thinking if ever the 1st overall pick is available, it could cost a lot more than some fans around here think.

We definitly have to trade up for Griffin if possible.
