Kyle Orton trade: Could Miami Dolphins face bidding war with Arizona Cardinals for QB?

• It'll be interesting to see if Luck will be with the Broncos. Thanks, Rusty.

• <blockquote>Andrew Luck graduates in May. 2-12 or 3-13 can and will give the Broncos the first pick.</blockquote> And, let's not forget that Luck is from Stanford (as was Mr. Ed). Consequently, I fully expect Tebow to remain for one more season, and even that's to put the meat in the seats as the Broncos sandbag their way to 1-14 this year to cement their draft pick...

• Absolutely Arizona's a great fit. For both. The Cardinals are a team ready to roll, in a division begging for a contender. The Cardinal have a stout defense, the best player in the game in Fitzgerald, and a smart, tough as nails head coach. Kolb's ok. He'd fit in give the offense a good west coast quarterback, and probably not cost them any games. But Orton's the plum. This reminds me of the locked and loaded 1977 Denver team, killer defense, great special teams, a 40 man roster that was actually the deepest in the AFC west going in. Craig Morton was that final piece, and the Broncos rolled to 12-2, beat the decade's best franchise, the Steelers in the Divisional round and the hated RAIDAHS!!!!!!!!! a week later. While the final was a disappointing loss to a team that was just better than them, the 1977 season was probably the most memorable year for us grey heads other than 1997. And it was Morton's ability, his experience, calm and cool head under pressure, and professional approach to playing the position that put a very good team in position to be a great one. Orton has the same demeanor as Craig, his bristling over being reduced to competing for a position he excels at with a kid that can't play is the only reaction acceptable from a competitive guy with his ability and experience. His salary obviously isn't ok here with the developments of the last few days, but he commands and deserves starter money. He'll get it with Arizona. With Orton, the Cards could well win the east and the conference. They're that ready. Denver? Andrew Luck graduates in May. 2-12 or 3-13 can and will give the Broncos the first pick. September 2012, the Luck era begins.    

• With Mr. Ed at the helm, that caller to KOA will most certainly get his wish! Can't wait for the Bears/Broncos game this year, now that should be interesting.....
