Re: Mike Lombardi Links Kyle Orton to the Redskins

I think the only reason the FO didn't bring in someone new is that they new there was no reason to waste resources on a QB when there was not much in terms of talent to work with yet. Add in the lockout, and that is why we saw what we did last year with the QB position.

Orton is better than any QB currently on the Skins, and is an upgrade over Grossman hands down.

No offense but this sounds like a rationalization of a poor decision.*shrugs*

You can say there wasn't much talent but the talent that we did have was held back to substandard level of QB play.

Every team was in the same boat last offseason yet other teams made better choices at the QB.

And Orton was available last offseason and available again on the waiver wire.

Re: Mike Lombardi Links Kyle Orton to the Redskins

I am not an Orton fan. I could have lived with him going into last year BUT my meaning was somewhat of a rationalization for the FO. At the same time I can see why they would not want to give away a draft pick for KO. Also I can see why they would not want to add him in the middle of the year after he was waived.

I could also see Orton not being in the plans and this is just some rumor. You never know. I also can't imagine Orton would be plan A.

Re: Mike Lombardi Links Kyle Orton to the Redskins

I rather bring back Jason Campbell then sign K.Orton. I dont see either one of these signings happening for the Redskins.

I believe you are correct. I don't think we'll see BA make any stupid decisions because some of the fans base gets....extreme from time to time.

I like this... no one really knows what we are doing. That means no one can hose us in a deal because we aren't all in any place.
