I've watched every Bronco game and I guess I have missed where these opportunities were?

The Broncos have been bad as a team but never once was Kyle Orton the issue. Where were these opportunities that I have missed?

I have faith in Tebow. He's the kind of person you just shouldn't bet against until he shows he really can't do it. Also why would Tebow have started when they had a QB who was putting up pro bowl numbers??

Matt Flynn and Tebus starting in the same week.

lol. That's what I am trying to figure out. Apparently there were opportunities but I still can't even guess as to what anyone is refering to.

Expect a performance similar to Rusty Smith.

Based off the little I saw of him in the preseason, I can see Tebow being successful against teams that play man coverage. He made some great throws.

I think the issues will arise with the throwing motion when the defense is in zone and the entire defense has their eyes on him. I think he'll struggle to fit the ball into tight spots because of the long motion.

As for this week, I'm expecting a gameplan built around his strengths, some zone read, rollouts, etc. The Raiders have a pretty good pass D so I think he'll be average in his first start.

Should be fun to watch.

When they were losing by about 70 to Oakland for starters. I was surprised they didn't put Tebow in since that game was over by halftime.

Last week against Zona they were also getting blown out and didn't put him in. Not saying that Orton is the problem, but in situations where the game is obviously over it was surprising that they didn't put him in.

The SD game was another where he could have got some PT. But I guess the coaching staff is more worried about inflating Orton's stats to make people think he's a pro bowl QB than giving the 1st round pick some PT. That's all I'm saying. I think you misinterpreted me and though I was saying Tebow should have been starting. No, just saying in garbage time when he could have gotten PT they didn't put him in, which was surprising.
