Nothing’s changed, says Tim Tebow‘s backup.

Brady Quinn has denied the ProFootballTalk report that he has been receiving “roughly half” of the first-team reps in practice this week.

Jeff Darlington reports that Quinn insists he is still getting “maybe a couple reps a day”, while Andrew Mason of MaxDenver quotes Quinn as saying, “Obviously the backup doesn’t get many reps, if any.”

Either Mike Florio’s source was very, very wrong (Beuller?), or Quinn is listening to his coaches and hiding a very odd secret weapon: himself. My take: it’s almost certainly the former.

The Broncos wouldn’t prepare for the possibility of benching Tim Tebow by cutting his practice reps in half. That’s idiotic; they’d just do it (bench him).

Props to Mason for the Bueller reference.
