While Denver fans have shown their support for second-year quarterback Tim Tebow, the same can’t be said of the Broncos’ front office, according to Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports.

“If everything was totally equal, and this were a competition based only on performance at this camp, Tebow would probably be the fourth-string guy,” a source told Silver. “Kyle [Orton] is far and away the best, and Tebow’s way behind [Brady] Quinn, too. And I’m telling you, Adam Weber is flat-out better right now.”

Head coach John Fox announced Monday that Orton will be the starting quarterback for the third straight year, leaving Tebow, Quinn and Weber to battle for the backup spot. Weber, a rookie free agent out of Minnesota, has reportedly outperformed the competition so far.

“He threw a ball before the receiver made his cut, and it came down in the dude’s hands like, ‘Merry Christmas,’” receiver Brandon Lloyd said. “He’s thrown four or five passes like that in camp where it’s been like … whoa. Weber’s got personality, and he’s got some swag about him, too.”
