I wonder if we will still be having this debate in 10 years? Shouldn't it have ended when Orton went to Dallas?

One would think, but MMO will still be bringing up ortons one week of practice and yhe chiefs greatest win 20 yrs. oh yeah dabol, ctrennel, and pioli suck...MMO will make sure we never forget.
O
Orton
signed a conract to be a backup, he was never interested in staying in kc.
What if mmo is really Orton and is trying to get himself back to KC where he can start? hehe
He'd still have to beat out Cassel and whether you like Cassel or not, it appears from his actions that Orton had some serious doubts about his ability to take the starter's job from Cassel.
I still think MMO needs to move to a Dallas Fan Board or just STFU about Orton. He's gone. History. Yesterday's news.
The Win over Green Bay was a TRIUMPH and I for one would have liked to have seen Orton stay here and fight for the starters job.
But it a gonna happen. Orton is not a Chief. Out with the old and in with the new!
...and Chicago.
Seriously MMO, give it up. You've distorted so many things that I'm not even sure I know what the meaning of statistics is. Oh yeah, that's right making things work for your arguments.
Bottom line, Orton was signed almost a month before he started. That gave him time to learn the playbook and then he had...I'll give you "almost a week"...whatever, to practice. This means he had learned a lot of the playbook that was going to be run before he started practicing.
That's a HUGE difference from what you're trying to infer that he came in and in a single week learned the playbook, practiced with the starters and figured out timing. He knows about the speed the game is played at, knew our playbook and spent the week learning the timing.
Flat out Orton isn't a savior, if he had better numbers than Cassel it was only marginally better at best. The worst is that the guy is so scared of competition that he's cried his way out of two teams, said he wouldn't show up if KC got him, promptly ate crow and came to KC and then ran off to Dallas as soon as he could. The guy simply wants his job handed to him to throw up mediocre number.
That is all...now back to your regularly scheduled MMO :beat_DeadHorse:
That may or may not be. Of course he would have had to win the job first and running away to Dallas shows he had little confidence he could do that.Quote:
