2. Kyle Orton (2012-2013)

Kyle Orton is most known for his time with the Chicago Bears, and while he may not seem like a star in the traditional sense he was one in more than one way.

Orton ranks ninth in touchdowns and sixth in wins as a Bear. He was with the Bears for three seasons, before playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs. Orton signed a three-year contract with the Cowboys in 2012. He came on as a replacement for the backup quarterback Jon Kitna.

Orton did not get much playing time while he was a Cowboy, but in 2013, week 17. Orton was starting quarterback for an injured Tony Romo. He had two touchdowns and 30 completions.

Orton was cut by the Cowboys after failing to show up for a physical and minicamp. He later signed with the Buffalo Bills.
