So is Tebow ready to take over the Broncos' offense?
And how bad is Orton's injury?

Tim Tebow: Is Tebow Worth a Shot in Your Fantasy Football League?
So Tim Tebow will officially start as the Denver Broncos quarterback during tomorrow's game against the Oakland Raiders, and don't lie...
You're a little tempted to start Tebow in your fantasy football league.
Now the idea of starting the NFL's most popular rookie might sound pretty cool, but is it really such a good idea?
If the Broncos were playing, say...the Seattle Seahawks, I would completely support your decision to start Tebow. The Seahawks' secondary is dreadful, and that matchup would give Tebow a chance to develop his passing game.
Unfortunately, the Broncos will be playing the Raiders, and the Raiders have an outstanding passing defense. However, with many of the league's starting quarterbacks listed as questionable or even "out," Tim Tebow may be just the guy to fill that gap in your roster.

Tim Tebow to Start Against Raiders: Should Kyle Orton be Worried About His Job?
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow will make his first NFL start during tomorrow's game against the Oakland Raiders.
Tebow was one of the most talked about college football players while he was at the University of Florida, and he already has the No. 1 selling jersey in the NFL.
Did I mention that he hasn't started a game yet?
Everyone will be rooting for Tim Tebow tomorrow, but what does this mean for Kyle Orton?
This regular starter for the Broncos will sit out tomorrow to try and recover from a rib injury, and we have to wonder if he is feeling any pressure as Tebow takes control of the Broncos offense.
Tim Tebow may have some work cut out for him if he wants to be an NFL star, but Kyle Orton may need to step up his game to keep his starting spot.

Tim Tebow: What We Can Expect From Tebow's First NFL Start
It's official. Tim Tebow will start as the Denver Broncos quarterback for the first time in his NFL career.
According to ESPN, No. 1 quarterback Kyle Orton is still suffering from a rib injury, and Tebow will have to take over for the Broncos' game against the Oakland Raiders.
Tebow was drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft after former head coach Josh McDaniels saw something in the rookie and took a chance on the former Florida Gator.
Tebow's playing style is quite a bit different from that of Kyle Orton, but don't expect Tebow to be running all over the place like he did with the Gators.
However, we're willing to bet that we will see at least a few "Tebow-style" moves as well.

Tim Tebow: Will This Rookie Start For Denver Broncos on Sunday?
Denver Broncos starting quarterback Kyle Orton was limited for his third straight practice today as the Broncos gear up to take on the Oakland Raiders this Sunday.
Despite other woes in Denver, Orton himself has been having a pretty good season, but if his rib injury continues to be a problem, Broncos fans could see a rookie take over under center.
That's right, there is a great chance that Tim Tebow will start as quarterback for the Denver Broncos this weekend, marking the former Florida Gator's first start in the National Football League.
So will Tebow make his NFL starter debut in Oakland?
ESPN's Bill Williamson seems to think that we have about a 50/50 percent chance of seeing Tebow start on Sunday.
