    It's the Kyle Orton vs. Tim Tebow debate all over again, and it's already bothering some of their teammates.

    "I think it's all B.S.," said Broncos wide receiver Brandon Lloyd in a phone interview Tuesday afternoon. "I think everybody is just waiting for an opportunity to move (Orton) out and play anybody other than him."

    Despite being dispirited, fighting back for a bid to win late in the fourth quarter Monday in a game lost only by a field goal, many fans in Denver aren't feeling their starting quarterback and they're giving him a short leash.

    "That's the circumstances that we're in. That's the climate that we're in, and we knew we we're going to be in -- so be it. There's no being patient with Kyle. Kyle is ready to go. He didn't perform maybe as well as people expected him to. Whatever. He's our quarterback, and we're going to eventually win games," said Lloyd.
