Kyle Orton

“I can tell you unequivocally that if you talk to John Elway and John Fox,” Chris Mortensen said, “they will tell you emphatically that Brady Quinn is absolutely in the mix in terms of the competition for the starting job. They are not handing it to Tim Tebow. They are not handing it to Kyle Orton. They may have a depth chart to start out, but I know in communicating and speaking to both men that Brady Quinn is not forgotten.”

At this stage of the game, Quinn's name is in the mix to compete for the job, but don't expect him to beat out Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow -- something he couldn't do last year.
