How likely is Kyle Orton to become a Panther?

Recommended Posts

Given Ron Rivera was with the Bears when Kyle Orton was there, and former Panther head coach John Fox is now the head coach of Orton's current team, how likely is it he becomes a Panther next season?

Will Fox want to retain Orton? Does Rivera's inside knowledge of the player help or hurt his chances? I think the Broncos will keep Orton and The Golden Calf of Bristol, and cut Brady Quinn. Since being coached under McDaniels, Orton grew into more than just a game manager. His gaudy stats didn't equal as many wins as you'd hope, but with a John Fox defense he might have a little more help. It all depends on how enamored the Broncos are with The Golden Calf of Bristol...I just think Fox being there now makes it a little more interesting. Thoughts?

Don't see orton leaving denver. But if the same OC that was with the bears when orton was there then I say why not. But it also has to do if the panthers bring back moore or not if they don't then I say try and get somthing done this offseason and bring in orton he can only help us after this yr season. and that would give our rookie Qb time to develop and mature

Well this I do know.....Denver invested a 1st rd pick into The Golden Calf of Bristol so they will give him every opportunity to be their number 1.Orton does not want to be a backup.

Other than that I would think that Denver would want to retain Orton if they can afford to but think Orton based on his performance last year could be a starter in the NFL and wants that opportunity.

The Panthers could sure use him.

We'd have to give up a pick we need for him, but after seeing what he did with no name WRs this season, I'm all for it.

People are quick to point out that he played well "due to the system in Denver", just as they point out that's why Brady is so good (lol). What you have to remember is that we'll have a brand new system in place here and it can be designed around the QB. We all need to stop thinking anything related to how the Panthers were run in the past. It's going to be brand spanking new.

Orton (13 games) - 3, 653 yds, 20 TDs, 9 INTs, Rating 87.5

Brandon Lloyd - 1,448 yds 11 TDs

Jabar Gaffney - 875 yds 2 TDs

Eddie Royal - 627 yds 3 TDs

I think he could get the ball to LaFell, Gettis, and Smitty...don't you?

why go after Orton when we can easily get quinn? then we could have 2 over rated losers from the same lame ass school that were both proclaimed "best nfl ready qb in the draft" aka the biggest crock of poo i've ever heard. Everybody is just trying to get their 2 cents in hoping that if for some reason quinn or clausen did good they could say they were the first to say that and then all the crap about trying to liken then to Joe Montana and so on.....

Clausen for life!!!!

Is it likely for Orton + #2 overall pick coming here for #1 overall and a player?

EDIT: Never mind. None of this will happen because of the lockout.

Even without the lockout, I'd need more than just Orton to trade down.

Orton and their second rounder to move down one spot? That you might talk me into.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
