So will Tim Tebow start over Kyle Orton next game?

SanctionII

An acquaintance of mine went to the Denver - San Diego game in Denver last Sunday. He told me that when Tebow replaced Orton at QB in the second half the fans attending the game went nuts. The energy level went up, the players responded and Denver rallied for two scores. Denver still lost, but the atmosphere changed from dead to dynamic.

Tebow's stats were not stellar, but for whatever reason he generates excitement. Orton apparently does not.

So will a change in QB take place before the next game?

Further, if Orton is replaced by Tebow, does Orton stay #2 on the depth chart or does he fall to #3 behind Brady Quinn?

I ask these questions because there ain't much else going on in Bronco land

Denver has alreday announced that Tebow will be the starter after the bye.

I enjoy watching Tebow, but it wasn't Orton's fault the Broncos are horrible. That energy boost that Tebow provided will be short-lived and once it passes, the losing will continue. I just don't view Tebow as an every down QB in the NFL, but I hope he proves me wrong, as he's a great guy.

I am on the late freight, not keeping up with sports news.

It is interesting that Tebow is a player that fans either really like, or really dislike [sort of like the Cowboys, you either like them or dislike them]. I wonder why Tebow is viewed that way?

He is a physical stud (size and strength). It will be interesting to see how he handles being a starter and whether he will find success at QB.

I imagine that many long time Bronco fans are continuously hoping that each new QB that plays for Denver will be the next coming of John Elway.

Tebow gives the Broncos the best chance at tanking and getting Luck in the draft...sadly if that were the case they wouldn't draft him.

yes, the fans went wild. Yes the energy both on the field and in the stands increased. They still lost.
