Now that the former Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn was wearing the Denver Broncos jersey after the Sunday trade, it just becomes inevitable to discuss on the Broncos’ starting quarterback for the 2010 season that will begin in six months.
A competition is very likely to happen between Quinn and Kyle Orton, who was previously believed to be still the team’s starter for the new season. However, Quinn has made it clear that he also intends to have the starting job.
“I’ll put it this way, I think every quarterback on our roster wants to play,” Quinn said. “Believe me, whether it’s Tom (Brandstater), Kyle, or myself, we’re all quarterbacks. We’re going to be team players first, but we all want to be out there playing.”
Winning the starting job through a competition after joining the Broncos in last April’s trade for Jay Cutler, Orton led the team to a 6-2 start but finished the second half with 2-6 last season. By comparison, Quinn finished the last season with the Browns on injured reserve with a severely sprained left foot. He passed his physical on Monday and began participating in the Broncos’ offseason training program. He will take his time to impress the new team in efforts to convince them that he deserves the starting job.

Cardinals lineman Elton Brown was ejected in Thursday game
On Thursday night while playing against the Denver Broncos, the Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Elton Brown was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct after bumping an official on the final play of the first half.
It seemed that Brown was carrying his argument toward an opposing player but bumped into referee Mike Carey. Arizona Coach Ken Whisenhunt thought it was unintentional.
“I don’t think it was intentional,” Whisenhunt said. “From what I saw, I think Elton was more focused on the football player from the Broncos because of the play and inadvertently bumped into the official. He certainly didn’t go after the official. But in those kind of situations, you always have to worry about the official, obviously, when guys are that big. It was unfortunate.”
The Cardinals was defeated by the Broncos 19-0 on Thursday night, ending their preseason with four losses. Hope they will give better performance in real season games.

Woman testified in Broncos WR Marshall's battery case
On Thursday, Rasheedah Watley, ex-girlfriend of Denvor Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall, testified in a battery case that Marshall committed domestic violence to her.
Marshall was on trial Thursday for he was charged of misdemeanor battery after a dispute with Watley at the Atlanta condominium they shared in the March of 2008. Watley told a jury of four women and two men that Marshall shoved her into furniture, carried her over his shoulder and threw her on the bed more than once and hit her in the lip. A police officer also testified that he came upon Marshall outside the condo with a bloody hand and Watley was inside with a bloody lip. Watley said Marshall did that to her just because she received a text message from a male friend.
It was not the first time Marshall was involved into a lawsuit. In March 2007, he was arrested after Watley said he used his vehicle to block her taxi. In October 2007, he was arrested for DUI. And in last September, he pleaded guilty to driving while ability-impaired and was sentenced to a year of probation.

Broncos coach McDaniels named Kyle Orton as starting quarterback
On Saturday, Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels finally decided who will take the team's starting quarterback job. The selected one is the former Chicago Bears quarterback, Kyle Orton.
Chris Simms, who was competing with Orton for the job, became the team's back up. McDaniels said that he chose Orton because he has grasped some of them more quickly than Chris did. Indeed. Orton just prove this by taking all the snaps behind the first-team offensive line during Saturday's practice.
"I'm obviously really excited," said Orton, who was a key piece to the Cutler deal that also included four high draft picks. "It's really just the beginning for me in this offense and hopefully I'll continue to improve every day and get the offense where we need to be come the season."
This guy completed 272 of 465 passes for 2,812 yards with Chicago last season, throwing 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He's appeared in 33 games during his three-year pro career after starting at Purdue University. Hopefully he will do better in the coming season.
