And you are an idiot if you think Orton was only brought in in Chicago to run a flea-flicker. He was brought in to replace Palko. Orton should have started that game, but the timing of Orton coming into the game made it very clear that he was the QB from that point forward.

No the GM doesn't tell the coach who to start, it's not a question of guts, it's not his job.
