Broncos vs. Cowboys: All Eyes On Tim Tebow, Kyle Orton In Preseason Opener

The Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys square off in Week 1 of the 2011 preseason schedule on Thursday night and the biggest story line coming into this game is the Broncos quarterback situation.

As you might imagine, Denver fans, not to mention just about every other football fan, will be watching Tim Tebow's every move. Expect the second-year QB to get a lot of snaps and Mile High Report thinks these preseason games could go a long way towards determining his season and his future:

Tebow has been the talk of the preseason. He was wanted by most fans to be the starting quarterback and now he is at the point that the future of his career has been questioned. It looks like he will have another year to be evaluated and if he plays good in these preseason games, it could help determine his future.

Kyle Orton should get some time on the field as well, though it's assumed that Tebow will take many more snaps.

Check out Mile High Report and Blogging The Boys for live commentary during the game.
