If we really want a franchise QB we would've been further away from getting one with PM here, maybe Orton too.

Absolutely. If I were a Denver fan, I'd be a little uneasy that Quinn is gone, and they alienated the only other backup they have in Tebow. Now, they have to draft a QB or sign a no-namer just to fill the slots....with a 36 yr old QB coming of neck surgery at the helm.

IMO, if PM would have chosen the Chiefs, I don't believe Pioli/Hunt would have gone after another young 1st rd caliber QB until PM retired or went down. By then grooming a QB is pretty much out of the question, you just have to throw him in the fire.

by signing Quinn to compete with Cassel, he surrendered.

I've laways hated Manning so not getting him keeps life simple. I would have gotten on board if we did get him but I would have to put an * beside all the games he played in. So after Manning who should we have agressively went after? Orton? Really?

I would rather have Orton as a starter over The Matt Cassel. Football is more exciting when you can throw past five yards.

like threebag said at Least keep Orton he can throw the ball past five yards.

Imon Yourside 03-21-2012 06:41 AM

I agree, Should have AT THE VERY LEAST kept Orton.

I don't think Orton wanted to be a Chief so that's a moot point to me.

It was Pissoli's job to convince him to stay here.

i understand the concept of "if you're ever gonna see a rainbow you gotta stand a little rain" but 4 years of Casshole is a bit much.

Yeah it is. In the end I think Orton would have been just as big a disapointment as Cassel. Changing for the sake of change isn't going to make any difference.

The writers are reading Chiefsplanet, now, or they finally grew a brain.

that may be true but at least our opponents would have to respect the field beyond 5 yards with Orton.

but IMO Pioli asked Orton to backup Cassel and that was an insult to Orton.

We could have cut Cassel, and signed Orton for less than half of what Cassel's making over the next three years. Maybe Pioli could have brought Cassel back as depth and paid him league minimum -- if he is even worth that.

Do you really believe that Pioli is going to try a potential franchise QB, and better yet, do you want this coaching staff withing 100 miles of that QB?
