Marrone will not start EJ if he has Orton available to him for three reasons: 1) Orton is the better player, 2) development of the offensive line will progress faster with the veteran, and 3) EJ is and will be a development project for some time and will not be ready to take over until the earliest in 2016. The front office tried to use EJ to market the team. Marrone is trying to change a loser culture into a winning culture. You can't do that with a QB who isn't ready yet. They were on different pages in that respect. That is where the conflict comes in to play.
