This is Tim Tebow's team, but is it Tim Tebow's time?
There was only one bright orange jersey at the center of the team huddle at the first day of Broncos training camp. Denver's #15 accepts this role, not as a sign of professional football egotism or everyday quarterback burden, but as the innate self-characteristic of his being on a team.
But the Broncos apparent starting quarterback, the one that is taking the first-team snaps, and is also rumor to be on his way out, is Kyle Orton.
Tim Tebow is a veteran of the league. He's been apart of the Broncos for 462 whole days and this is undoubtedly his team. And he's now the Napoleon Bonaparte of Broncos Country.
Tim heard cheers when he connected with Eric Decker on a 5 yard slant pattern. People clapped when he tossed the ball to Lance Ball on a checked down. Broncos fans even were smiling when Tebow spelled his name correctly in the autograph session after camp.
Kyle Orton, on the other hand, can't buy a vowel other than 'O'. People were unhappy with him over anything he did. Perfect spiral, "B**!" Precise and fundamental 7-step drop, "B**!"
In his first year as head coach John Fox he may have to make the toughest decision of his, what hopes to be, long tenure here in Denver. Kyle Orton is far and away the better choice (this fact is not debatable, no matter how hard you want to fight it) to start for the Broncos and give them a legitimate chance to win. Tim Tebow is far and away the fan favorite, and the Broncos quarterback for many years to come.
As Napoleon once spoke, "Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide."
If you're Coach Fox who do you choose. Tim Tebow or Kyle Orton?
