Orton played great. But ground ourselves. Gb is one of the worst d's giving up yards.
The best goes to the def today. Amazing job. I don't want any part of mcdaniels. I have hope for next season. Twas great seeing a qb actually play fter the past 2+ seasons. |

I just wish I hadn't missed 99.9 percent of this game.
Sounds like it was a good one. FAX |

If anything, you hope that Orton has driven a stake in Cassel's heart, but again, being significantly better than Matt Cassel does not mean you're good enough.
At this point, the team might as well drop the hammer, try and add depth through FA this year, and do absolutely everything they can with every pick in this draft to trade up.

Why are we arguing over this? Cassel isn't a starting caliber QB and Orton is. Orton just may be inconsistent which is one of the big differences between a solid player and a great one.
Orton has 7 years of starting experience and it shows. Matt never started in college and only did so in the pros for what 3 years total and it shows. OK, so Matt got screwed by the disorganized Haley play calling - too bad but he still can't make the throws that Orton can. |

Your thread title should have been "This is What an NFL QB Looks Like".
It has been so long since the Chiefs had one that we had to be shown what one looks like in red and gold. |

Romeo won his HC job for next year with this big win over GB IMO.

I wonder if he set the bar too high. If he loses both of the next two games, it could really remove any bump he got from this win.

Orton did fine. Orton deserves a ton of credit for the short time that he was with the team.
If he can consistently perform at this level, then I will have no choice but to change my opinion of him. Now, I don't think he will. I think he will prove to be worse than Cassel as he has his entire career. But, he is in the last year of his contract. I imagine he will play the best he can over these last three weeks.

Reality, it is like arguing the best way to die. None are good. I just think Cassel is less bad. Over the history of the two players, Cassel has had a better careeer. But, it is really an insignificant point given the mediocrity of both players. BTW: Orton has three games to get his next contract. I imagine we will see his best effort over these three games. It will be interesting to see if he takes a step back after he gets his new contract.

Cassel has proven himself the worst starter in the league throughout his career, and barring monumental reerunation by Pioli, it's done and over already.

I missed the entire game, but I was just watching some highlights.
Damn. Our defense looks unreal on some of those plays. It's as though we're playing at a completely different speed than the Packers' O. Holy crap. FAX |
