    Who is? Or is your vote "do nothing?"

    Orton is the best option we have.

    Unless we want to regress next year we will need to either resign him or sign someone better in the offseason.

    Otherwise i guarantee our win/loss numbers will be worse then this years.

    My vote is keep Orton.

    And yes, I know what that means, and yes it makes me concerned, and yes, I think that's our best shot atm, all things considered.

    Well, lets see how Orton plays these last four games before we talk about resigning him.

    There will be other FA QBs available in the off season.

    i'll lay it out there like this. The only possible QB who will be on the market who will be a better option then orton will probably be jay cutler. And jay cutler isn't a better option then orton... more of a sidegrade. I say we draft a number of QBs every year. bring in FA as well, but i think we're gonna have to hitch the wagons to Orton for a while till we hunt down a better option.


    ~this isn't me saying that orton is a great option at QB. just that he's at the forefront of the 2nd tier guys, and getting your hands on a tier 1 guy is very hard in this league.

    Well, I would take Cutler over Orton myself.

    But Sam Bradford will be available as well as some others, maybe Hoyer.

    If Orton can't win two more games out of the four left, I would rather see someone else at QB next year.

    And I would want a different OC as well, at the least.

    Are sharpshooters in the military just guys who practice more?

    This is off the charts asinine.

    What team does?

    My answer to that question would be no team.

    What they need to do is keep Orton and ditch EJ. Then take your best shot at a Bradford of a Cutler or a draft choice in the 2nd round and have them compete with Orton.

    Keeping EJ around is a fool's errand and does nothing but forestall the inevitable.

    Orton is a very good backup and he's good enough to win at about a .500 clip, and as such, he is worth hanging on to. This cannot be said for EJ. He is what he is, and he needs to go be that thing somewhere else.

    Well, EJ was .500 when he was benched.

    I'm not convinced he can't be at least that going forward.

    I would be for signing a Cutler or Bradford, draft a QB & keep EJ & cut Orton if Orton can not win at least 2 of the next 4 games.

    If Orton is the best we can do we may as well give up and start another rebuilding process
