I disagree.
I firmly believe that if the Chiefs were to get into the playoffs and get their asses handed to them the same Ravens-style 2010, Cassel would be back next year, even if his level of mediocrity was lower than the level of '10.
And yes, 27-7 notwithstanding, make no mistake, 2010 was a mediocre year for Cassel.
Orton would not get the same consideration.
As for red one efficiency, Claythan is right.
Elite QBs can overcome the lack of threat of a running game that can punch the ball in.
2nd and 3rd tier QBs can not.
Cassel is an old GMC Gremlin with no tires sitting in trailer thrash's front lawn.
Orton is the old Ford Maverick that still runs and gets trailer thrash to Wal Mart.
