The Chiefs claimed former Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton on waivers today, according to an NFL source.

I think Orton's a mediocre starter but a fine back-up. I don't see how, given our current situation, that anyone could say this is a bad pick-up.

I still say we should start the kid regardless.

So much for Barkley or RGIII or ...

Oh wait, we saw that in Denver already this season.

Orton's a pro, I think that was just a threat by his agent to get him to land in Chicago. He'll probably report, if for nothing else than to showcase himself for a contract next year. Not reporting will cost him a job and money...

I don't lie Orton much, but I do like this move. I feel like Orton is roughly equal to Cassel. That's not great, but it's certainly better than Palko. And next year, if the Chiefs decide to part ways with Cassel (fingers crossed), Orton will be a solid vet backup/mentor that comes at a much cheaper price than Cassel.

this is scary to think about

Lonewolf Ed · 11-23-2011, 03:16 PM

Why?? This team will finish 6-10 if a miracle happens! Let's not try to develop Stanzi, no, let's sign a mediocre veteran and shoot for 7-9! Oooh, 7-9, what a season that would be...

Orton won't be a back up here next season. He'll be a starter if Cassel is not.

Damn. Just... damn.

I really don't understand this continued argument. If we extend him for next year, you'll have a point. As it is, this doesn't make any difference in the draft.

Ah, found a link citing Clayton:

Eh, **** him. He'll get a chance to throw to some pretty good WRs and build his stock up a hell of a lot more than he would have in Denver. Maybe he shouldn't have insisted on a re-structured contract and that Miami deal could've gone through.

Beggers can't be choosers, Kyle. We need the help at QB to see what we have on this team. Dunno what to tell ya, sport.

Which is not a bad thing at this point, in my opinion. I don't usually fall into the "lose for draft pick" position. This year, however...

I worry that he'll start and win a game or two and screw us out of draft position.

Orton might be good enough to take us out of contention to draft a QB in the 1st round. Well, to draft Barkley anyway.

**BigRichard** · 11-23-2011, 03:18 PM

This will be a classic thread I believe.

Eh, I can't blame anyone who doesn't want to play for this shittastic franchise, despite all the good WRs.

And I'm going to keep calling him "King Neckbeard."
