The question isn't about who to start. The question is why the **** Pioli walked into the season thinking that he could walk into the season with a 5th round rookie (in a strike-shortened season) and a 6th-string QB as his backup QBs.
It's not a good thing when your GM has to pull a hail mary on your BACK-UP in midseason. He was incredibly lucky, in fact, that Orton was even on the market at just the right time.
And the only game where Orton should have started under Haley was against Chicago. He didn't, but he eventually went in to replace Palko in the second quarter. Again, you are getting riled up over one quarter.
