My preference is Henne, but this would defend Orton coming here as well.

Orton is only a stopgap at best in my eyes.
Although he's clearly better then Rex, I view him as a player that's peaked and has a clearly defined ceiling.
(never mind that he was available twice last year and signing him now would be admitting that last year was a needlessly wasted season)
I think our main threats for acquiring RGIII are the same places I would look to find an interim starter for a rookie QB while still providing the upside to develop into a bona fide starter themself.
If the Browns or Dolphins acquire RGIII I would happily see their former QBs on our roster (behind Peyton Manning
) or under center next year.
But I wonder if the Shanahan's have enough cache left with the fanbase to make that type of move without placing themselves firmly on the hotseat?
I would love to have Colt McCoy for a 4th round pick.
