The Facts:
Making the rounds at the Super Bowl today, John Elway said the Denver Broncos have plenty of decisions to make on their roster, including starting QB. While most football fans in the free world assumed Tim Tebow had already been declared the Broncos starting quarterback for the 2011 season, Elway said that's not the case. Asked if Kyle Orton was still the team's starting QB, Elway said: "If we had to go right now, but we've got to make a decision about where we're going to go. In my mind we've got to figure what we're going to do offensively at that position and that's why I'm not guaranteeing anybody's going to start."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Tebow started the last three games of the season. When the season ended Orton, who has a year remaining on his contract, said he did not want to return to the Broncos unless it was at the team's starting QB. Since then the belief in and around the Broncos was that Orton would be traded to clear the decks for Tebow as the team's long-term starter. However, Elway, the team's executive VP, said neither he nor HC John Fox, has made that decision. "It's not a foregone conclusion that we're going to trade Kyle Orton," Elway said. "At all. We still have to evaluate that. A lot of people think it's an automatic, but it's not."
