In other words, what you're saying is "La, la,la la, I can't hear you".

I'm quite certain Belichick took the best offer he got - meaning the Broncos etc. didn't make an offer or it was less than the pick they got from KC. Plus, Cutler couldn't have been traded without Bowlen signing off, and he had not been told yet so it couldn't have been more than preliminary.

I'm quite certain that Bellichik took the only offer that he got that he could get the deal done right now.
Any offer he got from any other team would have required a deal between Cassel and the team he was being traded to before the deal could actually consumated.
He took the Chiefs offer because he didn't have to wait.

The biggest difference between Cassel and Orton is the price tag. $15 million and a pick. Orton costs next to nothing. If the Broncos have to go a different direction, they can do so with no picks lost. And the Chiefs may be the only team that wouldn't be handcuffed by Cassel's contract.
Most importantly, I fully believe McDaniels can get the most out of Orton like he did Cassel. How much that is remains to be seen.

The difference between Cassel and Orton is that Cassel does actually have some talent to work with, where Orton is a what you see, what you get player.
