Apparently Brady Quinn has taken HALF of the first team reps this week in practice. Are John Fox and Mike McCoy crazy? Brady Quinn has proven over and over that he is not capable of winning games. If they put Quinn in the game we're going to get slaughtered. Am I the only one who thinks this is insane??? Tebow NEEDS those reps!
Maybe they're just trying to light a fire under Tebow's ass but still. The Steelers have to be loving this.

I'll cheer for Quinn if they put him into the game
But this is almost unbelievable. What ever happened to loyalty and dancing with the one who brought you? After turning around a 1-4 team and getting us into the playoffs you’d think they’d give Tebow a real shot.

Kind of my point.
Tebow hasn’t looked good the past 3 games… So maybe Quinn is just the backup plan.

It's always wise to have a backup plan

... I recall every ESPN analyst saying that Tebow had his BEST passing game
against New England. So, really, it’s only been the past two games.
And unless you were actually at the game, LIKE I WAS, you wouldn’t know that our receivers didn’t get open all game long. And that was acknowledged by M. Willis in the Denver Post yesterday.

So…. I’m guessing you’d be happier with a 10-6 record, but no playoff berth? Silliness abounds within the masses.

This,

-The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese -
Uhm, yeah pretty much
or we could keep miring in mediocrity. The orton led squad went 1-4. The Tebow led squad went 7-4 and won the west based on tie breakers. After 6 years of no playoffs for Denver, I’ll take it. Especially considering where we were a year ago. Were not supposed to go to the playoffs while were rebuilding yet here we are. Im also confused by your statement.
After turning around a 1-4 team and getting us into the playoffs you’d think they’d give Tebow a real shot.
“Kyle Orton wonders the same thing” So Orton also took a 1-4 team and led them to the playoffs?

~me
Yeah just one less game.
It’s not like a home playoff game means anything more than any other 8-8 season with no playoffs.
The best of the 2011-2012 season is yet to come.
It's not
DAMN, guess they’ll have to drive to Pittsburgh and New York to take back those Lombardi trophies and SB rings since both those teams won the Big Show with mediocre records. This truly sickens me…. I want to throw up, but don’t want to give you peeps the satisfaction.

It's false.

A side note
Is anyone else getting sick of Mark Schlereth on ESPN? You’d think he’d be a fan of a player like Tebow who turned around a really bad team.
Bill freaking Romanowski has shown more intelligence on the subject!

He bet against the Broncos for something like 7 of 8 games Tebow was leading the team. Even after 5 wins in a row, he was still betting against us.

Quinn: Nothing Different About This Week’s Preparation
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Brady Quinn hasn’t thrown a regular-season pass since joining the Broncos via a March 2010 trade, and as the backup quarterback, hasn’t thrown too many during the team’s practices, either.
Yet he stands ready, just as he has throughout the last several weeks as the second-string quarterback behind Tim Tebow.
"As ready as you can be," Quinn said. "Obviously the backup doesn’t get many reps, if any, so you’ll just try to go out there and do the best you can when you get the opportunity."
Tebow’s recent struggles spawned public speculation that the Broncos could turn to Quinn if the second-year quarterback once again stumbles. Tebow has committed six turnovers and posted a paltry 27.0 quarterback rating in the last two weeks.
His completion percentage last week — 27.3 percent on 6-of-22 passing — was the lowest for an NFL quarterback with at least 20 attempts since Carolina’s Jake Delhomme went 7-for-27 at Oakland in 2008. It was also the lowest for a Broncos quarterback with at least 20 attempts since Steve Tensi in 1967.
Quinn said the coaches have not told him to expect anything different.
"No. Just trying to stay ready and get guys extra catches (in practice)," Quinn said. "Obviously, the wide receivers are trying to be ready, as well."
The backup situation at quarterback is no different than what exists with the squad’s other positions, Fox said.
"(Quinn) is on the football team, and everybody on the team’s ready," Fox said. "Like every game, we expect our starters to play well, and if for some reason an injury occurs or something happens, then it’s the next man up. That won’t change any more this week than it has all season."

Jeff Legwold on KOA:
Well, if the Broncos have only run four passing plays in the last three practices, then yeah, Brady Quinn has gotten half the snaps.
Legwold said a couple minutes earlier that Quinn has thrown about two passes this week—maybe less than normal.
I hope
our backup QB is able to come out and execute the game plan if needed. All this talk of Quinn taking over or playing along side Tebow is interesting but in all reality, we really need our back up to be able to come in and win for us.
Go Broncos!
2011 AFC West Champions
Whoever broke this story
must have saw over 600 hits on Rodney’s two headed QB idea.
Quinn has mentioned before this week that there are plays designed for him. They haven’t used them yet. Maybe this IS the week we see one of those plays.
The best of the 2011-2012 season is yet to come.
It was originally an idea passed around on ESPN and 104.3 by Alfred...
Except it was when Orton was here and Tebow was starting. They talked about having an ‘Orton Package.’ In fact, it was Bill Cowher who said it on ESPN… the next game Orton was released.

Guys, this fan base is on Similac….. I swear it is. It’s time for some people to put on their big boy pants and get behind their team. I guess since we didn’t EARN a playoff berth and it means NOTHING, then we should go ahead and just not watch as fans.
Whether you Orton loving weirdos believe it or not, WE EARNED THE RIGHT, WITH AN 8-8 RECORD, TO WIN THE AFC WEST!!!!! What more do you need???

Chill out people.
He was taking reps, it’s not like Denver is planning to start him. They probably want him to be somewhat ready if Tim Tebow goes out with an injury is all, which seems reasonable to me.
Sure does

my gosh—what if tebow poops his pantz in the first half? maybe replace the man. what’s so weird about that? we want to win a dang playoff game here.
my money’s on a close game and tebow will be fine. if i’m wrong though, what the crap—put quinn in midway in the third quarter and see how bad he is. why not? (he’ll be bad though).
we're wearing white pants tomorrow, that's gross
