Asked by a reader if he believes Tebow will be Denver's starter this coming season, Post staffer Mike Klis replied: "I do think Tebow will be the Broncos' starting QB, especially if a collective bargaining agreement is reached sooner rather than later."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Klis went on to suggest if the two sides reach an agreement this month, uit would give HC John Fox and his staff enough time to work with Tebow during the offseason and gain enough confidence in going forward with him. And if the Broncos do determine Tebow is their starting quarterback, Klis believes Orton will be traded. Klis added: "I believe there is only one scenario where Orton is the Broncos' starting QB in Game 1 of the 2011 season: Negotiations break down in the next week or two, an extended lockout occurs, and a labor settlement isn't reached until well after training camp was scheduled to begin. ... " It makes sense. Fox is known for his conservative approach. If he doesn't have the time necessary to get comfortable with Tebow, sticking with Orton would make sense.
