The Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow is very likely to take the starting job away from the current starter Brady Quinn, however, the Quinn does not seem to mind that and did not hesitate in giving high praises on the rookie.
"When you look at him and the style he plays, he’s quite different from me," Quinn told the South Bend Tribune. "I think there are a lot of schools of thought on what will end up happening with him, moving forward in his NFL career. But he’s a good, quality, character guy, and those are the type of guys you want on your team."
Perhaps, Quinn was thinking that he would be too old to play as starter when Tebow is able to take the starting job. More likely, he was thinking that the flamboyant Tebow will eventually ending up putting on Minnesota Vikings jersey to be Brett Favre’s successor, so there is no need for him to worry about losing his starting job.

Vikings QB Jackson had contacts with Favre
While the playing status of starting quarterback Brett Favre is still pending, the Minnesota Vikings backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson has been frequently mentioned whenever people had a new speculation on Favre’s decision. If Favre returns, Jackson will remain the backup, and if Favre retires, Jackson is believed to be the top choice of new starter.
On that point, Jackson should wish Favre not to return so that he could finally have his starting job back. However, Jackson seems quite satisfied with his current backup role and has a good personal relation with Favre, who made a sudden mind change last offseason to put on Minnesota Vikings jersey and took the starting job away from Jackson. Jackson earned that job hard after offseason competition with Sage Rosenfels and he was so disappointed with change that he had asked for a trade. Jackson eventually accepted the fact and stayed with the Vikings as a No.2 quarterback.
During this offseason, similar Favre drama has been going on, and Jackson has been always calm with what was happening and would happen. He recently told reporters that he exchanged text messages with Favre sometimes about “life stuff”. Such words of course caused him to be asked about Favre’s decision on his playing status in 2010 season, however, Jackson resembled Vikings head coach to say that he did not ask Favre that kind of questions. He also said that he would be anyway fine whether Favre returns or not.
