Alicia Sacramone, Brady Quinn: Broncos QB a Better Boyfriend Than Player

Poor Brady Quinn.

After having a stellar training camp and decent preseason, Quinn had been promoted as the No. 2 QB on the depth chart for the Denver Broncos going into the 2011 season.

Yet with 60,000 fans yelling for Tim Tebow to replace Kyle Orton, Quinn was stuck with the clipboard on Sunday as the people’s choice was brought in.

Instead of moping by himself, Quinn decided to fly across the country to be with his ailing girlfriend, gymnast Alicia Sacramone. She told her Twitter followers all about it:

Just days after appearing in the new ESPN The Body Issue Sacramone tore her ACL while training in Tokyo.

Naturally her boyfriend rushed to her side as fast as possible.

The thing to take away from all this is simple: Brady Quinn’s Sunday was a lot worse than yours.

Let’s count all the ways…

1. He watched the starting QB of his team play like crap in the first half. With every misread and incompletion, deep down Quinn had to believe he was going to get in.

2. He is forced to stand on the sidelines as Tebow chants flood the stadium.

3. Tebow, the third-string QB at the beginning of the season, starts the second half.

4. Despite only completing four passes, Tebow brings Denver all the way back with a chance to win on the last play of the game.

5. Bronco nation explodes with giddiness despite their team losing and dropping to 1-4.

6. Quinn is beginning to realize he has no future in Denver  as reporters flood him with Tebow questions.

7. After hearing nothing but Tebow love on the radio, T.V. and Internet, he has to take a late night red-eye flight to be with a cranky girlfriend that is going to be very needy.

Rough.

Now Quinn is forced to hear nothing but Tebow questions for two weeks, and really for the rest of the season.

It’s been a tough road in the NFL for Quinn, but at least he can still be a good boyfriend during all of this.

I bet you he’s a better boyfriend than Tebow and Orton!
