Babb:Orton impresses as Chiefs contemplate future at QB

[cdcox]

To me, the coaching decision is more complicated than the QB question (at least the Orton vs. Cassel part).

Crennel's health is a legitimate concern. Will he hold up to the additional stress and demands of being head coach? How many years can he go? What is the succession plan if you go that direction?

You can't come up with a single reason that Cassel should be selected over Orton, unless Orton flat out won't sign a new contract. In either case, the Chiefs need to draft a QB early, but they probably won't.
