Broncos QB Tim Tebow Insists He Was Never Promised Starting Job

Discussion in 'Denver Broncos' started by BigBlueBruiser, Aug 6, 2011.

  1. Quarterback Tim Tebow said Friday he believed his comments to a newspaper columnist were misconstrued and insisted he wants to earn the starting job with the Denver Broncos. "I don't feel like anything was taken away from me and I don't want anything given," he said. "I want to work for anything I get, that's for sure. And I've always been like that." The former Florida star caused a stir when he told a columnist for The Denver Post he thought his boyhood dream of being a starting quarterback in the NFL appeared to be imminent, then "was grabbed back away." Incumbent starter Kyle Orton has been taking all of the first-team snaps in camp. Tebow had been leading most of the second-team plays, but he rotated with Brady Quinn on Thursday and Friday. Tebow, for his part, said he hasn't been given any indication from the team that it was his job. "Absolutely not, and they never would have said anything to me like that, at all," he said. "The whole time it was. 'Come in and compete,' and that's what you want, that's what I love doing."

    Media..taking something out of context? No..Way. That's breaking news! Lol. I guess we'll get a story once a day now..about Tim Tebow's comments..for at least a week. That's the kind of hype that I hate about him.
