    Default It Looks Like Orton is Healthy

    According to ESPN, Orton is healthy and will start.

    New Kansas City starting quarterback Kyle Orton indicated he is healthy after injuring his finger two weeks ago. If he doesn’t suffer a setback, Orton will start Sunday against Green Bay.
    Here is another link to the story on ESPN's AFC West Blog:

    And:

    Apparently this will be Orton's second game against Green Bay this year, since he played them before he was traded.

    According to the Chiefs he is good with short throws and working on the long ball. Either way I would be shocked if he were not under center Sunday, though it will be from the a shotgun in an effort to minimize finger contact.

    Good to hear. I think that Orton will be refreshing to watch. I wouldn't mind seeing Stanzi play either to see if he plays like he did in Preseason with the 2's and 3's.

    Has anyone seen Stanzi play with the first team? I'm all for Stanzi getting a shot.

    I'm glad to see this. I've wanted to see what Orton can do for us.

    I would love to see a healthy Kyle Orton on the field. I just hope his injury doesn't affect his accuracy or the strength of his throws. He hasn't had a lot of practice time with this team, may not completely know the playbook and if he has trouble throwing the ball, he could look worse than Palko (although I doubt that's possible).

    I think Orton can make plays against a weak Packers pass defense. (Just keep the ball AWAY from Charles Woodson!). If our defense can keep the game close and if the Packers are looking past us a little bit, I think we have a real chance to win.

    Very interesting read. Makes you wonder about issues in the Chief organization. Wonder if the GM Seat is feeling a little warm also.
