I think what there is genuine excitement about is the fact that if Orton plays well it spells the end of Cassel. People so desperately want him off the roster, and to shed that 3 year pending commitment, that we are willing to accept Kyle Orton as the QB for at least 2 years because it in the end symbolizes the end of Cassel.
Orton is like the girl you meet out when you're trying to get out of an unhappy marriage. Not great, probably not the best idea, but far better than what you have to deal with at home. Initially, the new girl is the greatest, but after a while, the shine wears off, but at the end of the day, they are still better than what you were hitched to.
