what's with all the Orton isn't the answer talk?

[wutamess]

OK he has the same stats avg as Cassle. BS! My dad and I argue about the Cheifs as if we're Pioli and Haley. I told him 3 weeeks ago, "dude. We finally have our QB." He looked at me like I was crazy and borderline ignored me.

I tried explaining to him we finaly have a qb that can make all of the throws. All he could muster up was he wasn't shit in Denve and he wasn Shit in Chicago. I told him he had good stats lat yar and turned Brandn Lloyd into NFLs #1 wr last year. He wasn't buying it but my point was valid.

I further went to explain that now Orton had something he's NEVER had as far as weapons. Now he has 2 BIG WRs as well as a WR that will stretch the field. Add JC and Moeki coming back next year and I think we can be a top 5 offense with Orton.

I just don't understand why people think he's a fluke ad try to compare him to Cassle when he's HEAD AND SHOULDERS above Cassel in EVERY category. I'll go so far as to say we don't need to draft qb this year if we sign Orton... I'm als thinking with Berry coming back and a O tackle and another stud LB to complement DJ, we're poised for a SUPERBOWL RUN!

We'll see.

But, Im not feeling too optmistic about it.

I think there are a lot of teams that will be picking before the Chiefs that are in need of Quarterbacks.

i.e, Miami, Cleveland, Washington, Indy, possibly Buffalo? QB's will be just to ripe for the picking.

A well-trained group are we. Strong the True Fan in this fanbase is. Yeesssss....

Anytime you can sign Steve DeOrton and get the play-action pass hitting on all cylinders, you simply have to take that shot.

That's one of the things about NFL football I love best, watching an 'unstoppable' QB get rattled when the pressure comes and the WRs get blanket covered and then, heaven forbid, the INT. Suddenly, not so unstoppable. We used to do it all the time in the 90s. Did it numerous times against Manning and Rivers more recently. Love it.

Nobody's [at least not the OVERWHELMING majority] doing that. At most they're saying that's not the ONLY thing to do.

But then, as we know, your analysis of the NFL has turned into one big 'OR Gate.'

[DeezNutz]

I wouldn't be against signing Orton as the vet. starter and drafting a QB. But if this organization does the former, I simply don't think they'll do the latter.

Too often, the organization jumps in with both feet when the smell of vet. backup wafts through the air.

FS is a bigger need than ILB.

Yes... Rich Gannonesque... He spelled an injured Grossman... Played well and Marty let Grbac... er Grossman back in for the playoffs. The fans believe they could've went to the SB if Orton was the QB instead of Grossman.

Just saying.

Kyle Orton is on a completely different level than Matt Cassel.

I couldn't agree more. I really think Orton could put up better numbers than ever, with the weapons we have and if everyone is healthy next year. Something he has never had.

In one game after only being here two weeks, Orton has looked better than Cassel EVER has or ever will. TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Orton has a way of fooling coaching staffs in the offseason. He is the best practice player in NFL history and plays great in the preseason. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chiefs get tricked into thinking Orton can be a longterm answer and then realize a year or two later they have been fooled.

Actually, it didn't.

The Packers dropped SEVEN PASSES in the first half ALONE.

The majority of the pressure came in the second half.

Orton is to the Chiefs what Gannon was to the Raiders. A journeyman that finally gets to the promised land!
