Rumor-Dolphins want to trade for Orton-NFL.Com

I would be shocked, at this point, if we won 4 games much less 6-8 regardless of who is QB. I am interested in seeing how Moore looks as the starter against the Jets and can't help having some glimmer of hope that we can turn this around. However, the chances are nearly zero that we could reach the playoffs at this point; we are not mathmatically eliminated but it would absolutely require a miracle. Also, many of the teams that I counted as wins before the season are playing very good football and we are definitely not.

So far as Orton goes, it makes absolutely no sense to me to spend anything to bring in someone who we know is not the answer, who may screw up our chances of getting someone that may very well be the answer, and who will cost additional draft picks and money against the cap just so that we can maybe reach the bottom end of mediocre for one season. I am more than willing to endure another horrible season if we can put together a winning formula for the future. If we reach 6-8 wins with what we have or can sign off the street, great. We will choose the BPA or hopefully, trade up to get a potential franchise QB. However, if we have to pay any type of draft pick or utilize any future cap space for a stop-gap then I absolutely say NO!

I definitely tend to agree with you. As much as I still want this team to win I think we will be in a position for at least one of the top QB's. I think even if we win 6-8 games and have a mid 1st round pick we will trade the house to get Luck, Jones or Barkely (or possibly stay put and draft griffin III).
 
I was about to say something I though impossible ...I miss Henne

The fear of winning has me terrified and without 2 ints and passes bouncing off the back of the OL pads anything can happen in 4 qtrs.
I have confidence our D is still more than able to do what is necessary to *Suck 4 Luck*


I wonder if the Fins play pinball & have a few beers during halftime like the Redsox pitchers are said to have in the club-house the last 3 months. I could see it...
 
Nobody on the Denver radio stations around here or the Denver Post is saying anything about trading Orton to the Phins....maybe the Broncos wish they could still do this, but the only possible time this could have happened was before the season started.
 
They aren't going to do this. They didn't pull the trigger when they thought he might be a challenge to Henne, they wont do it now when he looks like he could only challenge Rosenfels.
 
Here's another Rumor I just started (equally plausible) ... Orton will sign a new contract for a "huge pay cut", AND Denver will take a 7th just to ditch Orton's Salary & not have to cut him, to save face.

Rumors have to pass the "smell test" (unless you're Jethro Jones lol)
 
Please Ross break from the Ireland spell and wake up, fire him ASAP

Orton is not a winning QB, acquiring him and having to learn a new system at this stage qould almost ensure you are in the Luck sweepstakes.

Sounds good to me!
 
I was admittedly one of the many hoping for Orton prior to the start of the season. I believed (foolishly now) that the Defense would continue their strong play from last season. I thought having a quality (albeit limited) signal caller would improve Miami's playoff hopes. Guess I was wrong, huh? Please guys, don't be afraid to admit it with me (and yes, I acknowledge that a number of posters here were 100% against the move, so not everyone was in line with my way of thinking).

With that said, I would no longer be in favor of getting Orton. It has nothing to do with Orton or Henne's play this season. Rather, at this point, why bother? Dolphins are NOT going anywhere this year, especially with Matt Moore or Sage as our QB. Defense has regressed, with a number of players on both sides of the ball not being used properly. At this point, while I want to see this team play competitvely week to week, our best bet is getting solid draft position and taking a bonafide signal caller with a high 1st round pick next April.
 
I could see them doing this. Which is a prime example why these ****ers in charge all need to go.
 
:bobdole: You got to be kidding me?! Do Dolphins love trading for bad quarterbacks?
