Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater had no giveaways and no drives that ended in punts. But an 80-yard strike from Lock to KJ Hamler was the difference between the two quarterbacks on a day that saw both succeed where they'd had trouble before.

“WHERE’S AARON RODGERS?” cried one fan from the bleachers.

Earlier in the week, George Paton told Peter King, "quarterbacks are available more than franchise corners every year."

The Broncos' general manager addressed that controversial comment on Thursday.

Bridgewater closed with a touchdown. Lock closed with an interception, and those final throws made all the difference.

A "great opportunity" fell in Justin Strnad's lap at the beginning of training camp.

The athletic inside linebacker has taken advantage of it.

The Broncos have their starting quarterback. For the first preseason game, that is.

Here's how the reps will be split and why Drew Lock will get the first shot.

Peyton Manning and John Lynch made their names elsewhere. But they burnished their names in Denver. And even though their eight seasons in orange and blue are two fewer than Steve Atwater played on his own from 1989 through 1998, their legacies in Denver matter, too.

Drew Lock was electric to start Sunday's scrimmage.

Not only did he have the pass of training camp, he commanded two touchdown drives early.

Lock needed a strong day on Sunday. He delivered.

You knew the bust would have Steve Atwater smiling.

On Friday, inaccurate was the word of the day for the Broncos' quarterbacks.

One quarterback flipped that on its head in nearly the best possible way 24 hours later during Saturday's practice.

 DENVER — There’s something special about No. 80.  Rick Upchirch (1975-83), Mark Jackson (1986-92) and of course, Rod Smith (1995-2007).  In his 11 seasons with the Denver Broncos Smith recorded 849 receptions for 11,389 yards and 68 touchdown catches. The former undrafted wide receiver and eventual two-time world champion was one of the most popular players to suit up for…...

The past few practices, Drew Lock’s lost the “gunslinger” to his game, while Teddy Bridgewater has tried to shake being “Mr. Checkdown.”

Both of those were very clear during Friday’s practice.

"If he’s on the ground making acrobatic catches, if he’s stumbling and going to the ground, it’s honestly building confidence for him. He’s going to continue to trust his knee more and that’s exciting for us," Teddy Bridgewater said of Courtland Sutton.

Teddy Bridgewater & Drew Lock had nearly identical practices on Wednesday.

Both started practice with 20-yard completions.

Both were efficient.

Both ended practice with red-zone INTs.

But there was one difference that tipped the scales.

The pads were popping during Tuesday's practice for the first time in Broncos camp. Vic Fangio and the Broncos' staff took full advantage of it.

Denver's three-headed rushing attack led the way.

The pads went on, and the emphasis on the ground game went up, leaving this as perhaps the most uneventful day of the Broncos’ training-camp quarterback derby.

No wonder Bradley Chubb was smiling broadly when he walked onto the field for pre-practice calisthenics.

After throwing three interceptions on Saturday, Teddy Bridgewater was in desperate need of a bounce-back day following Sunday's off day.

He did just that on Monday to keep the Broncos' quarterback competition a true toss up.
