BRONCOS: John Elway on rookie QB Tim Tebow: "I'm sure (the Broncos are) going to take advantage of what he does in the
shotgun, especially in third-down situations with the run-pass option
that you have with a guy like Tim. He throws the
ball so well on the move and has the chance for the big play. And maybe
they'll use him more than that and get him into the right situations."
