This. Orton would not have been an upgrade.
You guys are just infatuated with the IDEA of a QB better than Cassel. You're seeing things that aren't there.
Look.
I AM NOT DEFENDING CASSEL! I want him gone probably more than most, but at least be objective about the facts.
CASSEL WILL NEVER TAKE US TO THE SUPERBOWL! let alone win the damned thing. He needs to go.
He isn't the worst QB in the NFL, but he certainly isn't a starter. His true value is more than what we saw last season, but not anywhere near 27-7. I do think he is every bit as good as Orton though. His advantage in the redzone being a huge part of leveling that playing field.
