Tim Tebow: Don't Expect Broncos' Tebow to Start Anytime Soon After Fox's Comment

Well, this is getting awkward quickly.

Less than three quarters into the season and the Denver Broncos crowd already wanted major changes. Tim Tebow chants could be heard all around the stadium Monday night against the Raiders.

The fans are fed up with watching an incredibly average QB do just enough to lose, and the 23-20 loss to the Raiders was a disaster for the Broncos QB situation.

Everything that is great/horrible about Kyle Orton showed up.

He was able to piece together multiple drives that resulted in points and seemed to have plenty of poise and leadership in the huddle.

Yet the big knock has always been his play in the fourth quarter, and once again the same issues reared its ugly head.

He had a crucial fumble that was immediately turned into a Raiders TD. He really tightened up in the red zone and the team had to settle for two short field goals. With Eric Decker returning a punt for a TD, only the late TD—with Oakland playing prevent D—can be attributed to Orton.

Despite all of the Orton shortcomings, coach John Fox is still 100 percent behind his embattled QB.

"Kyle’s our starting quarterback," Fox stated. "I don’t think too many guys are firing their whole teams after one game because they happen to be in the half the teams in the league that lost in Week One."

Fox isn’t ready to hit the panic button and even ignored a Tebow question in the postgame press conference. Fox claimed he couldn’t even hear the chants of the crowd demanding for the most popular third-string QB of all time to enter the game.

Fox has been in the game for a long time, and his old school demeanor is not going to fall victim to impulsive and angry fans. The Broncos have to wait for Tebow—and this isn’t going to be the last time Orton makes fans incredibly angry.

But the writing is on the wall: Orton is still the most NFL-ready signal-caller on the roster and is the only QB that can run the Broncos offense. Tebow still has a long way to go for him to earn Fox’s trust.

The question is…how long?
