If we could move Mcnabb for a 4th or 5th, I would definitely look into trading for Orton. Haynesworth and the 4th or 5th we attained for McNabb. He just turned 28, and with the reports putting Santnio Holmes in Washington, Its best we have a QB that can get the ball down the field and produce. Orton is the best bet in my eyes to making this squad better in the short term, and he sure isn't a bad long term prospect either. Somehow patch up the OLine, which I think we will with the reemergence of J. Brown and the replacment of Rabach, not to mention one additional season getting used to the zone blocking scheme, and I definitely wouldnt mind seeing Kyle Orton slinging the ball to Holmes, Moss, Hankerson and Cooley in the B&G. Plus, he wont command a really high salary.

Plus we all know the ties Shanny has with Elway. Him keeping quiet on the issue and putting his "faith" in Beck might just be the smokescreen to keeping the price on Orton low, and to shield our interest in him.

Orton is the best choice at QB for this team. Lets get it done.
