ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -The quarterback quandary in Denver is over. Not so the competition.
Coach Josh McDaniels says Kyle Orton and Chris Simms will have to earn the right to replace Jay Cutler, who was traded to Chicago last weekend. That ended a six-week soap opera that began when the Pro Bowl passer decided he didn’t want to play for the Broncos’ new 32-year-old rookie coach.
On Monday, Orton and Simms said they were thrilled to work for the man who helped Tom Brady and Matt Cassel succeed in New England. They welcomed the competition for the starting job and said they were fine with the fact that McDaniels won’t rule out taking a quarterback in the draft.
