Sacco Sez: The Broncos' first backup quarterback

It's always about the quarterbacks — and it has been ever since the Chicago Bears started using the T-formation in the early 1940's.

I remember one day in our press room, one of the writers debated to himself, out loud, that he did not know what to write about. Joe Sanchez, beat man for The Denver Post, gently swerved in his chair, looked at the other writer over his reading glasses, and said, "Son, let me tell you something. Always write about the quarterback. And then tomorrow, follow it up!"

Things have not changed much in the National Football League, as Broncos fans read and hear daily about the quarterback position and all its roster-related intrigues.
