Hall of Fame quarterback and Broncos executive John Elway is "surprised" that people took his recent comments about quarterback Tim Tebow so negatively. One week ago, Elway said "No" when asked on 102.3 FM The Ticket in Denver if he felt he was any closer to finding the team's quarterback of the future. "I was surprised in the fact that people took it to be a negative answer and it really wasn't a negative answer," Elway said. "That's where I was taken aback. It wasn't meant to be a strike at Timmy at all. "It was just a reality check of where we were at the time, and it wasn't a negative because I tried to follow it up with all the positive things we were doing and tried to point out some things we needed to get better at."
