Orton did the pre-check reads whereas Cassel got obliterated this year when Miami had the audacity to blitz him because Cassel doesn't know how to pick up the blitz. The only thing Cassel doesn't do is get into the end zone, but that's going to be better with Hillis and Charles getting us into the end zone whereas Battle and Jones were just plain horrendous. I get that Orton only gives us an outside chance, but at least it's a chance. This season is a complete throwaway if Cassel's under the helm.
Orton is better today, he's cheaper tomorrow. There is simply no excuse for the Chiefs not choosing Orton over Cassel. Zero.

He also has VERY well documented struggles in the red zone.
Are you going to ignore that fact?
