I feel crazy typing that title, I would have never thought in a MILLION years Kyle Orton would amount to anything but Denver got a super great steal and they have their game manager, but with them waiting to give him a contract extention he might just make it to the off-season to see what he is worth. While, not all the 17 mil, think of it as a "high bid" ya know, as in as long as no one offers more than that, thats as high as we would go. Think of what it would bring us too, a young, franchise signal caller. I mean, there have been crazier things... such as paying a Defensive End 17 million dollars when you don't have a QB.

Orton has always produced fairly well, other than his rookie season he has never thrown more interceptions than TDs and has shown marked improvement every year he has been playing (completion %, TD:INT ration, fumbles, ypa). I get the impression he is a coaches dream, in that he is a gym rat and studies his ass off.

Despite this he really is not a QB who can throw the team on his back and carry them to victories. He averages a shade over 30 throws per game and I just have a distinct feeling McDaniels feels that he has a system that rewards smart QBs and thus it is not worth spending the big bucks to keep them. Compare Jakes stats when he throws no more than 30 throws...

I fully expect them to do what the Pats did with Cassell last year. Franchise and trade to pick up an extra first or second rounder. Then I expect they might draft their QB of the future. It would end up being a risky move, but I just get the impression McDaniels is a touch on the arrogant side and will believe he can make any QB perform. Two previously unknown commodities in Orton and Cassell have turned out pretty darn well, the only difference was the Pats had Brady to fall back on.

I want a real QB for once. Not one thats just "good enough". I say no to signing Orton over keeping Peppers.

Ok thats cool man... where you going to get it again? we dont have a first round pick and Drew Brees the #32 pick of the 2001 draft(which would be the first round these days) is the ONLY QB from the second or third round in the last 15 years to be productive, and Matt Schabb has a chance to buck that trend, but he just now coming on. If we go for a QB in the last few rounds, yea, we might get lucky and get a good one, but not for us, he will be a QB for someone else after we release him.

Free Agency? The person this topic is about is the ONLY quarterback avaliable in free agency... that is, unless you think Jason Campbell or Tavaris Jackson are great NFL signal callers. Has no one done any research on QBs?

      Carolina may not "be sold" on young (per athletic)

      We have some divisional games and also Dallas, who may have a worse QB situation. We are also considerably higher in SOS so we lose most tie breakers. Even if Bryce started stinking it up, we would likely just switch back to Dalton. I agree on most of this but Arizona is a REALLY bad matchup for us. A bruising running game and very mobile QB. That is perfectly made to march all over our defense. This is one of the tighest races for the bottom I have seen in a while.

      Um….the Jets have almost an identical history to the Panthers. In fact no other team comes close, except maybe the Jaguars. The main difference is they lose the championship game to go to a second SB while the Panthers won’t but then lost the Super Bowl… But W/L are closer than any other franchise etc.  If we want to talk king of the shitpile since 1995, I’d look at Lions or Browns or Raiders but the Panthers are so close to them in a lot of ways with the track record of the past six years you’d really be arguing semantics at that point all things considered. I would consider the Panthers to have a near bad existence headed to bad existence. It’s just comical franchises mentioned awful are literally the closest team comparatively speaking to the Panthers lol Some of you really think this team was better than it actually was…never back to back winning seasons, one of the worst W/L teams since 1995 (bottom 5 I believe), …all due the Tepper effect. We suck so bad we remember slightly below average as glory days lol

      This 2025 class has some good bones in the mid rounds but it’s one of the worst top of classes I’ve seen in history. It gives me some 2013 vibes. McMillan and Graham are solid 1sts but man, these others being floated as top-10… I don’t think they’d go until the late teens/beyond if they were in the last few drafts. I.E I'm not taking these guys like Scourton or Mykel over Verse or Latu.  Last year's OTs and WRs would all be going ahead of the majority of this class.  Throw Bowers in this class, dare I'd say he'd be 1 on the big board.
