    it took a hall of fame quarterback to get that team to the super bowl. Kurt Warner was amazing when he was playing quarterback. He knew how to manipulate defenses and just about everything that came with the qb position. There has yet to be a qb that has been successful there since.

    Makes sense.

    They also play Chicago, and keeping Orton off the Bears gives them a fighting chance for an upset that week.

    And if it keeps some fans in Arrowhead, you do it.

    Chicago has to be flipping out. This could kill their season. They've got a pretty easy stretch left, but Caleb Hanie under center is going to be something to see, especially with the way Chicago's O-Line can give up sacks.

    Cowboys also had put in claim for Kyle Orton, just because Kitna is injured and going to miss some games.
    Cowboys were ahead of the Bears and Texans.

    I'll bet that company line is covering the honest truth. Much more likely they wanted to preemptively **** block the Bears. Dallas is leading the NFC East now, but should they slip behind the Giants, they need the Bears to falter in the wild card hunt.

    Playoff Berth Insurance Policy.

    Too bad Orton wasn't waved this week.

    Chiefs would have still gotten him.

    They have priority over us.
