All week lengthy, there has been a litany of gossips that Colorado would consider benching quarterback Tim Tebow if he struggles against Pittsburgh on Sunday, and placing backup Brady Quinn into the overall game.
Quinn refused the gossips about receiving extra first-team repetitions in Broncos practice, but what else was he likely to do? And Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported on Sunday the Broncos possess a specific third-lower package created for Quinn from the Steelers.
This package is, most probably, for times when the Broncos finish in clearly third-and-lengthy passing situations though Tebow's had some success this year passing the ball, he isn't exactly likely to have a team such as the Steelers honest in individuals situations.
Furthermore, Glazer reviews the Broncos possess a package ready for both Quinn and Tebow, although there is no certainty that Colorado uses it, especially if Tebow works well.
Finally, the Broncos are pretty clearly prepared to create a change if Tebow struggles. They have proven no real worry about pulling the previous first-round pick around previously, and also the John Fox/John Elway combo has not proven an excessive amount of worry about carrying out towards the quarterback who got these to the 2010 nfl playoffs before, apart from showing he'll be around the roster this year.
