#Broncos Ellis on QBs. "It's an open competition.. I know all eyes in (media) will be on that." #Denver7

I'm not too optimistic that Ware's back will heal to a point where he can consistently be counted on to be active throughout the season. He's pretty much missed the whole offseason because of it. As great of a veteran leader as he is, it wouldn't shock me if he were a camp casualty.

I don't know if Ware will hold up but using him as pass rush specialist might preserve him.

He wont be. He will be here and helping us back up the title. He is going no where. They will Pup him if they have too. We can get by with Shaq and Shane until he is back. The man is here to stay

Nick Foles anyone?

And take even more reps from Lynch? No thanks. He's a guy, just like Sanchez is a guy. Don't need two guys in camp. Grin and bear it and hope that Lynch is the real deal down the road.
