I've seen Cassel do a lot of things that Green does not. If you watch him at the line of scrimmage, he's a lot more active in calling out assignments and audibles. And whereas Green was a pure zone QB that relied on pass protection to give receivers time to hit their spots, Cassel's been a lot less shy and a lot more capable about gunning the ball into tight spots.
I think Cassel has the upside to be much better than Green. But that's not going to happen when you have the worst offensive line in football. No QB can succeed under those conditions. Even Big Ben doesn't have to deal with an o-line this bad.

That O-Line of yours went downhill incredibly quickly. You guys had a lot of FO changeover though during the time when it should have been addressed. I've seen comments that it was Vermeil that screwed the Chiefs over with a Win Now mentality the new FO is still trying to pick up the pieces.
