Gator Week

The opening of the 2010 Broncos Training Camp commenced on the first day of August and there was a sole focus by all people in attendance. That one captivating figure is Tim Tebow.

Tebow, Quinn and Orton all can't fit in Elway's shoes at once? Or can they?

There were signs, Gator chops and the occasional cheer when Tebow glanced in the packed hillsides direction. 3,100 plus people crammed into the small Dove Valley facility to witness the best day of the Broncos 2010 campaign.

There is a buzz that, I have been told, is as big as or bigger than Rockotber or a Broncos Super Bowl win. And what better week to have it on; Shark Week…. More like GATOR WEEK.

[SIDE NOTE: The Broncos may have 3 potential starting quarterbacks vying for a single spot that too many doesn’t even seem up for grabs. Unfortunately, or possibly, fortunately for the 2 sidekicks they aren’t getting very much attention while the rook is demanding an all-eyes on him mentality. But from my football expertise Tebow didn’t look all that outstanding. In 11 on 11 he rarely threw the ball and when he did it was on check downs. And earlier in practice when Orton and Quinn were taking snaps with 7 on 7 Tebow was on the other field handing the ball off in all-run scenarios, full contact. Orton and Quinn were the ones that impressed me. Orton had cannon and as many faithful complain he doesn’t throw it down the field enough he has more than enough arm to do so when need be. Quinn had an arm too, not overwhelming though. But the one thing that made me double take at him was his size. He is at least 6’5” and makes Orton and Tebow look like his little brothers when standing next to him. And although Notre Dame is going down it is still a football school and there is a reason Quinn was a 4-year starter for the golden domers. And although the entire buzz is about Tebow the job is still Orton’s to lose, and watch out for Quinn who could just turn out to be the Broncos quarterback of the future.]
