Mike Lombardi Links Kyle Orton to the Redskins

This is old news. We already talked about it this morning. The real story...Plaxico telling LaVar that he thinks Drew Brees will be a Redskin!

Oh that Plax and his shoot from the hip comments

Hmmmm......I think he's had a few already. I better text my man Plax back and tell him I can't make it for drinks tonight.....

I remember watching the Denver/SD game early in the season. I thought Orton played well, but his receivers and the defense were playing like crap. Personally, I don't think getting Orton will prevent us for going after Luck or RG3.

Oh that Plax and his shoot from the hip commentsI think Plax just wants to be quarterback of the Saints.

Orton is better than Grossman? That would be like junking my current hooptie to buy another piece of shit car off craigslist for $800. What's the use?

As long as the plan still involves drafting a QB, I've got no problem with looking at Orton as a short term starter or backup.

I think the time has come to move on from Rex completely.

Orton's really not any better than Grossman. Plus he doesn't know our offense. No thanks.

I for one hope this is the one and only Kyle Orton thread in the history of the Warpath...

Exactly. Denver dumped him for Tim Tebow. Nuff' said.

League execs are linking the Redskins to all sorts of veterans, because it would seem implausible that the Redskins can acquire a rookie who they feel confident in leaving their jobs in the hands of. So based on that logic, I would just assume the source of the Orton rumors are coming from outside the Redskins organization.

You can pretty much replace Orton with any of the following: Chad Henne/Rex Grossman/Alex Smith/Sage Rosenfels/Brady Quinn/Shaun Hill and have a pretty good idea of where the Redskins are going to go this offseason. They're going to kick the tires on Hoyer, et al, and if they can't pry him/them loose with minimal draft pick involvement, it's going to be a veteran.

Orton is the biggest name on that list, but I wouldn't rule out the newfound credibility an Alex Smith signing could bring if the idea is to buy as much time as possible with an offseason move. Smith isn't a flashy name, but his stock has never been higher.

Henne is the only guy that I would look at. And I find it hard to believe that Miami's just going to let him walk. Especially if they're going to run Green Bay's style of offense.

His numbers prove otherwise, but ok
