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.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
