    Denver Broncos vice president John Elway said he hopes Tim Tebow is the team's long-term solution at quarterback.

    It was a step beyond Elway's statement at season's end that Tebow would be the starter going into training camp. Tebow completed less than half of his passes last season, but posted a series of dramatic comebacks in leading the Broncos to the playoffs, where he threw an 80-yard TD pass to Demaryius Thomas in overtime to beat Pittsburgh in the first round.

    He went 8-5 as the starter, but lost four of his last five games.

    "He added a great spark for us, and we really had some good things happen to us," Elway said Friday at the NFL scouting combine. "I was really happy with his progress. I know Tim's going to work hard this offseason. We're hoping that he's going to be the guy for a long, long time."
