ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Super Bowl champs begin training camp Thursday with major questions on both sides of the ball, beginning with who will be the one throwing it.General manager John Elway declared the Denver Broncos quarterback competition wide open.Coach Gary Kubiak said hell split snaps between Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch, beginning -- but not set -- in that order.Gary is very seasoned at that position, so I know hes going to handle it the right way and well find the right guy, Elway said.There are also unknowns on defense such as when star cornerback Aqib Talib and pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware will be cleared to practice.Both are starting out on the non-football injury list, Ware after aggravating a bad back in the offseason and Talib after suffering a gunshot wound to his right leg.While acknowledging its hard to top a Super Bowl triumph, Elway said he expects his offense to be better this year no matter who wins the quarterback job. He insisted his standards dont dip just because he doesnt have an elite passer for the first time in four years.Our job is to be competitive and try to win a championship year in and year out, Elway said.Kubiak has said we should know a lot more in about a week about who has the inside track to the job, but he declined to say how deep into camp hes willing to hold open the audition.The winner gets to direct an offense that Elway reconstructed this offseason following Denvers 24-10 win over Carolina in Super Bowl 50 and the departures of Peyton Manning to retirement and Brock Osweiler to free agency.The Broncos have just four offensive starters from the Super Bowl returning to their same position: center Matt Paradis, running back C.J. Anderson and wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas.I think we can be better offensively, Elway said, citing the return to health of some players and better familiarity in Year 2 under Kubiak, who no longer has to operate a hybrid offense to accommodate Manning.As much as we like to say that we did the right things offensively (last season), we HUNG ON offensively, Elway said.Led by linebackers Von Miller and Brandon Marshall, both of whom signed big contracts this summer, the defense returns all but two starters. Elway said he trusts the Broncos have the depth to seamlessly replace Malik Jackson and Danny Trevathan, who followed Osweiler out of Denver in free agency.Kubiak said Talib should be back in action real soon. But even if he is, possible NFL punishment and legal ramifications hang over the star cornerback who was shot in his right leg in Dallas on June 5. Police are investigating whether Talib accidentally shot himself.When I heard the news, I was just thankful that he was OK, Elway said.The GM met face-to-face with Miller on Wednesday for the first time since protracted contract negotiations that grew contentious before Miller signed a deal that guarantees him $70 million, a record for a nonquarterback.Elway said he wanted to make sure there were no hard feelings, and Miller said there werent any.Elway said he also told Miller that standards soar commensurate with his weightier wallet.Im aware of the expectations, Miller said. But we have high expectations on all of us.The sides signed off on the $114.5 million, six-year contract about two hours before the July 15 deadline.I was expecting it to be a day or like a couple of hours, Miller said before dodging a question about reports he and his agent sought permission to seek a trade at one point.Ultimately, I wanted to be a Denver Bronco for life and I feel like we got that done, Miller said. The business is the business, but ultimately I wanted to be a Denver Bronco at the end of the day.Game notesThe Broncos waived RB Cyrus Gray and signed former Ravens WR Marlon Brown, a fourth-year pro who has seven TD catches among his 87 career receptions. ...

After what Pittsburgh running back James Conner has been through over the last 12 months, how could they not?So forgive the 2014 ACC Player of the Year if he takes a moment before running out of the tunnel and onto the Heinz Field turf on Saturday when the Panthers host Villanova in the 2016 opener. A knee injury that derailed his junior season and a cancer diagnosis that threatened to derail his promising career has a way of putting things in perspective.Im just going to embrace it all, Conner said. I know we will have a great audience. It will be a memorable day. My doctor will be in the building, along with some of the nurses. My family and friends will be there, along with my friends from Erie, so its just going to be a great day.Yet Conner also understands the jitters will fade. They always do. Once he takes a handoff from Nate Peterman it will back to business as usual: trying to help the Panthers take another step forward one punishing yard at a time.Im excited to make my return, he said. I take every game the same. Theres a job that needs to be done.One Pitt and second-year coach Pat Narduzzi believe is far from finished even after a promising 8-5 season in 2015, one the Panthers gamely soldiered through even with Conner watching from the sideline for all but the first two quarters of the opener against Youngstown State.Narduzzi has a better feel for the program now, one that is trying to embrace its history while forging ahead at the same time. The Pitt script logo -- a symbol of the Panthers glory years four decades go -- is back in full effect, joined by a variety of uniform options that seem to be de rigueur in college football these days.Of course, the plan is to have plenty of substance to go with all that style, with Conner leading the way. Some things to look for as the Panthers begin a season with lofty exppectations, against a team hoping to make a statement of its own:CLOSE CALLS: Narduzzis tenure began with a shaky 45-37 win over Youngstown State last September, a game that remained in doubt until the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd The memory remains fresh, so dont expect Pitt to peek around the corner at a long-awaited visit from Penn State on Sept. 10. Thats probably wise against Villanova, a longtime FCS power who is hardly a pushover. The Wildcats have been a tough out against FBS schools in each of the last three openers, all losses by 10 points or less.SAYING GOODBYE: The 2016 season will be the 32nd and final year for Villanova coach Andy Talley, whose 249 career wins are the most by an active coach at FBS or FCS level. Talley, who led the Wildcats to the 2009 national title, will hand the program over to assistant Mark Ferrante. An upset over the Panthers would be a pretty sweet way to begin Talleys send-off.PLENTY OF HELP: While Narduzzi said there are no limitations on Conner -- who underwent six months of chemotherapy to combat lymphoma diagnosed last Thanksgiving -- Pitts depth at running back means Conner wont have to carry the load alone. Qadree Ollison was the ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2015 while filling in for Conner and Chris James provides a speedy yin to the powerful yang provided by Conner and Ollison.NATE THE GREAT? The Panthers entered 2015 with Chad Voytik at quarterback before Nate Peterman quickly took over the job. There is no drama this time around. Peterman is firmly entrenched as the starter, though hell also be working with an inexperienced group after Tyler Boyd took his school-record 254 receptions to the NFL. Senior Dontez Ford is the only returning wide receiver with more than 12 career catches. ' ' '
