His advantages over orton lets list then
Younger, Bigger, Stronger, more mobile, faster, better accuracy, stronger arm, WAY better deep ball, more emotion, better leader, more respect in the locker room, better footwork, more chemistry with the team, can adapt better and faster, better thrower on the run. You don't have to agree with me i just think it's funny and kind of sad when people continue to talk trash on him after last year when he did what everyone said he couldn't

Actually Cassel (born may 17, 1982) is 6 months older than Orton (born November 14, 1982) so you might want to replace "younger" with "more mature" LOL. And they are both 6' 4" tall, but Cassel is 5 pounds heavier, so you could technically say "bigger" or "fatter." Maybe that extra 5 pounds is solid muscle? Do you know what each player bench presses?
I won't argue with the rest of you list because those are all subjective opinions. I think Orton is a more accurate thrower, and as far as better footwork goes, I would give the edge to Kyle as well because he doesn't get "happy feet" under pressure in the pocket like Cassel does and you already admitted that Orton makes quicker decisions and gets rid of the ball faster so I wouldn't give Cassel as big of an edge as you would, but Like I said, there is a lot of subjectivity in it.
To me the bottom line is this year Orton has done a better job of moving the ball than Cassel has. Now how much of that can be attributed to the coaching change, different/better play calling. or improved play from the offensive line, and how much is due directly to the change in QB is impossible to say.
What I can say is that 2 games is way too small a sample size to make a decision on Orton, but he has looked pretty good so far.
