Kyle Orton should have no problem to become chiefs starting Quarterback

Given the performance of Tyler Palko in last night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night football, there should be no surprise if at some point this week, Kyle Orton is announced by Todd Haley as the new starting quarterback by Kansas City Chiefs. After all, it is clear that he is the only real option at this point with any credibility behind it.

Tyler Palko was an experiment in two rounds that simply did not work with five interceptions in two games that prevented the chiefs took the lead against the Patriots in the first half and put the chiefs defense on the field for too long in the Steelers game. In a nutshell, the leaders must have a viable option to keep the chains moving since the offence of heads is, now, the worst in football.

The chiefs have not scored on consecutive drives 42 who have started from inside their own 20 yard line. That is a number that will lead to last-place Division finish every time. Palko didn't get the job done, and yet it is also clear that the team is not ready to throw Ricky Seed in there just yet because Palko always keeps reps no matter how bad things get.

Orton that makes man in Kansas City. With a ratio of 79 career touchdown to 55 interceptions, Orton is automatically the best quarterback on the roster. He'll bring a solid veteran arm and experience in the position that even the looming Matt Cassel appeared less-than-stellar more time this season. If Orton can find a House fast with as receivers Dwayne Bowe and Steve Breaston and Jon Baldwin, it is possible that the leaders might try to understand something.
