How likely is Kyle Orton to become a Panther?

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.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
