The Denver Post reports: Former Bears quarterback Kyle Orton is confident he remains the starter in Denver despite the Broncos' acquisition of former Notre Dame star Brady Quinn.
"I have talked to (coach) Josh (McDaniels) and I will keep that private, but I do have total confidence that I'm the guy there," Orton said. "Just like every year, I'm going in to try to earn my starting job. I don't think I have anything to fret."
Orton, traded to the Broncos in the Jay Cutler deal, beat out Chris Simms a year ago. He implied that he didn't always feel he had a fair crack at the starting job while he was with the Bears.
"Whether you trade for a guy, or draft a guy, or you sign a guy in free agency, all you ask for is a chance for competition -- like I had last year with Chris," Orton said. "I've been in situations where that wasn't the case, and that's the most frustrating deal. If you get beat out by a guy, you can handle that. If you never have a chance to compete, then that's a whole different story."
