I really don't understand the excitement over Orton. He's no better than Grossman. We might as well keep Grossman since he already knows the offense.

I suspect that John Beck is the new Babe Laufenberg. Once he has to actually play in real games, he'll lose his nice, high paid job as a professional bench warmer.

Part of me wants the Skins to lose enough to draft Andrew Luck. I would hate that but it might be the only way for us to get the Franchise QB I think we need.

Check their numbers, especially their W/L records.

I checked the numbers and I see that Orton put up better numbers in Denver than he did in Chicago. I suppose he could be decent here.

I guess that the opinion I have of Orton is still colored by the mental image I have of Orton and Grossman in Chicago taking turns stinking out the joint.

BTW, I don't really want to see the Skins tank the season so they can draft Andrew Luck. I always want them to play to win. I'm just frustrated because I can't foresee how we're going to get the QB we need to become a contender.
