Quinn diplomatic about chance at earning No. 1 QB role
Football Betting Lines
03/16/2010 -
Englewood, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brady Quinn officially became a member of the
Denver Broncos on Monday after passing his physical and was immediately
inundated with questions if he'll go into training camp trying to wrestle the
starting quarterback job away from Kyle Orton.
"I think every quarterback on our roster wants to play," Quinn said during a
teleconference Monday. "Believe me, whether it's Tom [Brandstater], Kyle, or
myself, we're all quarterbacks. Believe me, we're going to be team players
first, but we all want to be out there playing on the field. Coach [Josh]
McDaniels makes that decision. It's not up to us."
Quinn was traded over the weekend from Cleveland in a deal that netted the
Browns fullback Peyton Hillis, a 2011 sixth-round draft pick and a conditional
2012 draft pick.
The 25-year-old Quinn, a former Notre Dame star, played in 10 games for the
Browns last season throwing for 1,339 yards with eight touchdowns and seven
interceptions. He played in just 14 games over three seasons in Cleveland
after being a first-round pick by the Browns in 2007.
"I don't want to debate whether I got a fair shot, that's all behind me,"
Quinn said. "It's a great opportunity here in Denver. That's what I'm focused
on, that's what I'm excited about. You can't change the past three years."
Asked whether he's been told by McDaniels if he'll actually receive a chance
at the starting job, Quinn remained evasive.
"Those conversations are private at this point, but I think all of us
quarterbacks are going to be working our best to make each other better," he
said. "I think that's going to make our team better in the long run."
McDaniels also hasn't commented publicly since the trade, creating more
speculation that the Broncos will have a quarterback battle in training camp
for the top job.
Orton, who was traded from Chicago for Jay Cutler prior to last season, played
in all 16 games for Denver last season and threw for a career-best 3,802 yards
with 21 touchdowns and was picked off 12 times.
"From watching him, you can see he's an accurate, smart player," Quinn said of
Orton. "He's got a lot of talent. He's done a great job of continuing to get
better."
Denver reduced its QB roster on Monday too, releasing Chris Simms.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
