But they made the Ravens work for it a good part of that game.

27 unanswered points is embarrassed.

Well, Topeka, I don't. Guess I was thinking more of an offer that would beat Dallas, but by how Pioli's comments of Dallas making a "very, very, generous offer" to Orton, he must consider Orton overpaided. So, i will correct this for you and say "I wish scott pioli would've offered more than Dallas. I very much doubt he did. I stand corrected.

There's no reason to think we can't win a couple games with Cassel. Win in playoffs? No.

Yes they made him a very, very generous offer being that they're paying him to hold a clip board. Heck I'll hold a clip board for 3 million a year. Are you hiring?

I think he will make believers out of everyone, even if we struggle and miss the playoffs. It's his show now that Haley is gone. I trust he will step up to the challenge.

That's what you get for bringing this back up! I had ALMOST forgot it but no...you have to go and rip the band aid off.

No, that's pretty sweet money to not get hit and hold a clipboard. But what qb in the nfl DOESNT want to start???? You think the clipboard is really Orton's preference? I liked our chances this year with Orton, given what was out there. Heck, I liked the idea, regardless! I haven't a clue what we tried to give him, if we even did, but given the organization was more than willing to throw thier hat in the ring for Manning, would tell you they were ready to publicly move on from the Cassel experiment. So, why not give him the opportunity to play here? He has some games under his belt with our HC, he knows the AFC west? It just made sense to come over the top and make him a starter...just my opinion

I know you didn't mean we should have promised him he would start. But I'm sure it was made clear that if he outperformed Cassel, he would have a chance to start.

I have no idea what we did offer him, but I'm still baffled by his choice to go to Dallas. I know Romo is injury prone, and makes a lot of bad decisions with the ball, but I still think Orton would've had a better chance to start here.

Maybe the allure of a bigger market like Dallas - FT. Worth, with a chance to play 6 games a year that would be televised in New York, Washington DC., and Philadelphia had something to do with it.

Could be right, Topeka. It's actually a debate without having all the info to accurately debate it. Wish we knew what took place around the Chief's negotiation process with him, whatever extent that was.
