Even with what appears to be more meat in the Orijen, it actually has twice the carbohydrate content (as a % of calories) than the Nature's Variety. Those starchy potatoes boost it up to somewhere around 14-15%, whereas the NV is around 7%. The general consensus is that cats need no more than 10%. Mind you, Orijen is still better than the great majority of feline dry diets out there (which usually run in the 25-50% of calories from carbs), but it's still not as good as a wet food diet, for reasons beyond just carbs and protein.
