Tim Tebow to Start Against Oakland

Tim Tebow
Former University of Florida star Tim Tebow is expected to start his first NFL game this Sunday, when the Broncos take on the Oakland Raiders.  Tebow has taken most of the first team reps in practice this week, as starter Kyle Orton is out nursing bruised ribs.  The rookie has only played a handful of snaps this season, throwing just one pass since he was drafted in the first round last April.  While Tebow has a long way to go to be considered a serious NFL quarterback, at 3-10 the Broncos might as well give him a chance to show what he's got.  Also, since Orton only will have one more year left on his contract after this season, Denver fans may be getting a sneak peak at their quarterback of the future this Sunday.
