Omar Kelly, from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports via Twitter that according to people he's talked to the Denver Broncos would have to be 'wowed' by an offer for Kyle Orton to move him in a trade.

There is a sentiment that The Golden Calf of Bristol doesn't have the full support of the new front office in Denver. However, John Elway has been honest and complimentary of The Golden Calf of Bristol when talking about his young quarterback after the draft. The price for Orton may be inflated by this 'need to be wowed' talk. We think the Broncos would jump at the chance to trade Orton for a second- or third-round pick.

I don't think he would be coming to Carolina anyway, but I know a few of you have brought this up in the past, so here's an update on that situation.

At this point, I say we stick with who we have. I don't want to bring in a vet to start. If we're bringing in a vet, he needs to be a teacher/mentor for Cam and Jimmy, whoever starts.

Hurney already said that he is bringing in a Vet, it's not "will" he bring in one, it's "when". Rivera will get someone to mentor Cam and Jimmy, but if Cam's not ready, then you have a stop gap until he is. Rivera wants him to start, but he's not just going to hand the reigns over to him immediately.

Let Cam start from the get go, or don't start him period.

You start him when he's ready, don't throw him in too early. Rivera will be splitting reps with Newton and Jimmy in camp. Only to bring competition and up Jimmy's trade value. Rivera WILL NOT hand Newton the starting job on a silver platter, he will have to work for it.

With that said I do believe Newton will start the season, only because of the position we are in.

All I can say is told ya so. No way in hell Fox lets Orton go. There would have to be a deal like the Falcant gave the Browns.

I hope no one is stupid enough to offer a lot for Orton, he isn't that special.

Orton is a solid QB. You have to consider he didn't have much to work with on the Broncos, but still managed to do well. I don't think he is worth a number 1 or anything. I could see a second rounder. I don't consider him a vet in terms of age, and in terms of the role, he isn't even 30 yet. He would want to start I would assume. While I like Orton I think someone older who can play the role better and be willing to eventually give it up for Cam or Clausen relatively soon. I like Bulger or Palmer and it sounds like these QBs would be a lot cheaper.

Orton is a decent QB.

But, his performance in both Chicago and Denver is NO WHERE near a top QB. Fox is dreaming if he thinks someone is going to break the bank to get Kyle Orton.

[OchoNueve]

We will be getting a veteran QB who comes in knowing he is going to be a mentor and a backup. Orton does not fit either of those roles. When a lot of teams would trade for Orton to be a starter, why would he come to Carolina to be a stop gap and a backup?

John Fox has never had a solid QB. The best thing he's ever had was Jake Delhomme... which isnt saying much. Now Kyle Orton is no Joe Montana but he's serviceable. I think The Golden Calf of Bristol will be a solid QB in this league... but John Fox likes what he's getting out of the Big Brother (Orton) -lil Brother (The Golden Calf of Bristol) type of scenario where The Golden Calf of Bristol learns behind a starter. I think that bringing Kyle Orton here is a bad idea. If you're gonna rebuild, then rebuild. Im hoping we dont start trying to sign a bunch of older guys to win now... it hardly ever works and you dont sustain that kinda success very long. Leave him right where he is. We can get the same value at a lesser price.

fox doesn't want to get rid of orton.

[rayzor]

orton is the ideal john fox QB.

nothing flashy...just solid/serviceable/breathing and knows what he's doing.

i'm sure fox loves The Golden Calf of Bristol as a leader, but he'll have to force The Golden Calf of Bristol into that little tiny box that he expects all QBs to fit into.

Translation - Orton isn't going anywhere unless a team puts in a ridiculous offer.
