Maybe locking them into last place was over stating it but how much better is Orton then Grossman? I know he's better but in my opinion he's not enough of an upgrade to pair with a rookie who could be a couple years away.

So if I'm understanding you right. Manning/Tannehill is better than Orton/Tannehill because with the former we have a better chance of avoiding the division cellar in 2012 and 2013. But really what you're saying is Manning over the next two years is better than Orton over the next two years? Tannehill is kind of irrelevant to your discussion
