If i'm using a first round pick on a wr, he better damn well be of the Calvin Johnson type, especially with an early first round pick.

I don't get why people think Orton is such a terrible quarterback, when he has never ever thrown to a wr corps that is worth a shit.

Matt Cassel isn’t going anywhere
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on February 7, 2012, 1:11 PM EST AP When the 2011 season ended, it was worth wondering if Matt Cassel was a lock to return to the Chiefs. It’s not worth wondering anymore. Romeo Crennel seems to want a competition at quarterback, but his statements have indicated that Cassel will be part of that competition. New offensive coordinator Brian Daboll supported that notion Tuesday. “A have a lot of confidence in Matt Cassel. I’ve watched him on tape and I know the player,” Daboll said via Josh Looney of KCChiefs.com. Keeping Cassel makes sense. With Crennel in charge, the Chiefs are hoping to maintain as much continuity as possible. Cassel is “only” due $5.25 million this year after costing much more in previous years. We wouldn’t be surprised to see the Chiefs bring back Kyle Orton or bring in a quality rookie to compete with Cassel. But Cassel remains the heavy favorite to be the Week 1 starter. |

We need to create as a fanbase a qb controversy like Denver did.

The guy was legit. He made protection adjustments and called out assignments. He went all the way through his progressions and used the entire field. He was able to move around in the pocket while still keeping his eyes downfield. Ignore every single statistic he generated if you want (though they were pretty damn good), the fact is that the guy simply played like a quality NFL quarterback here. He did all the things that you ask a QB to do and he did them pretty well. It just doesn't make sense - the guy does a lot of things very well.

Despite the fact that the Planet thinks Cassel is the worst QB in the league, he can get you 8+ wins. Same with Orton. This franchise has not taken a QB when they were worse off than with an 8 win QB. Saying Orton doesn't stop them from going for a QB in 2013, is, IMO, wrong and goes against the sad franchise tradition. 8+ wins puts people in the seats and gives an easy excuse to keep improving at "other positions". I also hate the constant "next year's QB class is better ...." mentality. I've listened to the same excuses year-after-year-after-year. Barkley and Jones will come out. I like RGIII over both of them. Unless Jones exhibits some magnificent improvement this year, I wouldn't touch him in the first. That leaves you with 3-4 guys that you HOPE declare. Bray could get hurt again and easily go back to school another year. In fact, he played poorly after returning from injury, IIRC. The kid from Arkansas and Washington look promising, but so did guys like Snead entering their final year. You never know what's going to happen. My solution is to make a big move for Griffin.

And I'm not advocating WR in the first. Just his talent... if it turns ot to bbe Steve Smith after the combine... at #11 or #12 seems like a better deal to me than reaching for some other position. |

Orton is a raspberry flavored turd. Might taste better than pure turd ala Cassel but whats the point? 8-8 9-7 and hope to get lucky in the tournament?
Awesome plan Carl. It worked well for you. Quote:

I love that everyone is so mad Cassel is still the QB. Who have we passed on that has turned out better than him so far? We haven't had a chance to grab an elite QB. They are rare for a reason.

I think it is the fact that Palko did things mentally that Cassel can't do, and Orton did both mentally and physically things that Cassel can't do. Dude got exposed when he went down.
