Chris Simms is giving Kyle Orton a run for his money in the race to become the starting quarterback of the Broncos. Orton was expected by many to win the job without much of a problem, but Simms had other plans. "I understand everybody else looking at it that way, but to me it doesn't even matter," Simms said. "Regardless, I'm coming out here trying to do my best, trying to learn the offense and compete. At the end of the day, you do your best and let the coaches make their decision." Simms took more reps with the first team on Thursday, but hasn't necessarily overtaken Orton yet. "No," coach Josh McDaniels said. "Same thing. Both of them will take reps with the (first team), and we're going to keep doing that until it becomes clear and apparent, and it's not yet. They're both doing some good things, and they're both making some mistakes. When one seems to put himself ahead of the other, then it will be an easy decision."
