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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
