Broncos Name QB Kyle Orton Week One Starter

Discussion in 'Denver Broncos' started by BigBlueBruiser, Aug 22, 2011.

  1. Denver Broncos coach John Fox has seen enough to name Kyle Orton his starting quarterback. What he hasn't determined is who's No. 2. Fox said Tim Tebow and Brady Quinn have two more preseason games to win the job as Orton's primary backup. Because the league's new rules don't mandate teams designate their quarterback rotation on game day any more, the winner of that QB competition might remain a mystery, barring an injury to Orton. The Broncos began training camp trying to trade Orton but when no teams made an offer, they opened the competition and Orton quickly showed he was the best of the bunch "We've been working with (Orton) all camp, he's been with the 1's (starters)," receiver Eddie Royal told the Denver Post. "I guess there's not really any surprise to us. It's nice to know who is going to be back there throwing you the ball on Day 1. We all have had confidence in Kyle since Day 1, so no surprise to us."

    Big freaking shock. Who really thought Tebow was going to be the starter come week one?
