Cassel had the ball stripped because the ball was outside his body. There are QBs who hold the ball high on their chest when going through their progression and have a quick release delivery. The ball is exposed outside of their core for maybe 1/2 the time that Cassel does with his delivery. It's fundamental QB mechanics and they are coached for a reason, one being that you limit these kinds of turnovers. Cassel's fundamentals are not prototypical.
So yes, there are QBs that would not have fumbled with that exact play called and exact play by the other 21 players on the field.

Free shot from the blindside. Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, and Peyton Manning don't feel that pressure.
