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.
