From what I've read, a big sticking point for Orton was he wanted more than a one-year contract.
Fine, why not give him three?
Make him the starter this year and see how it goes. If it doesn't go so well, do what you have to in order to draft a stud QB next year (big QB class next year ... Luck isn't the only one), let the rookie learn under Orton for a year, and then make Orton the backup in Year 3. ... That's IF things don't work out well. If they do work out well, then just keep riding Orton.
When will the Dolphins ever learn that they MUST MUST MUST get a decent QB? And the longer the wait, the longer it's going to be. They have to start NOW. They have to put SOMETHING into motion NOW.
Maybe Orton can be the QB they need, but if not, he can at least be part of the plan to get a decent QB on the roster and learning the pro game (a position I wouldn't put Henne in).
