Sooner or later throughout the very first 1 / 2 of Sunday's Battery chargers-Broncos game, as Kyle Orton was doing everything he could to obtain benched, the idea must've entered backup quarterback Brady Quinn's mind. Maybe he'd function as the guy to exchange Orton.
In the end, there is talk that Quinn, following a solid preseason, had passed Tim Tebow around the depth chart. Works out, which was a figment in our imagination. On Monday, Broncos mind coach John Fox spoke about the choice to opt for Tebow over Quinn on Sunday.
"I believe sometimes that?¡¥s not reality. I believe the phone call to choose Tim was clearly something we talked about before, however i didn?¡¥t want that outwardly known no matter perception. I believe we type of demonstrated our hands.?¡À
So, yes, things might be better around the work front for Quinn. However the former Browns first-round pick did not let professional difficulties affect his personal existence. So while nobody is going to be calling Quinn "National football league beginning quarterback" in the near future, he's a current person receiving the "Best Boyfriend" award, as presented upon him by girlfriend Alicia Sacramone, former Olympic gold-medalist.
Let's wait and watch you top that, Tebow.
(In related news: ESPN's QBR stat has been readjusted to take into account Quinn's chivalry and he's now in front of Tebow within the Week 5 ratings.)
