Do Bronco fans prefer to have Osweiller start at this point or Manning?

Manning has dropped off alot, father time has caught up, and Osweiller has already beat the patriots once but has very little experience. What do Bronco fans prefer at this point?

    At this point, I think Manning is the safer start. I know Manning isn't where he was 5 years ago physically, but he has the experience and is a much smarter QB than Osweiler. Honestly, I thought Manning played very well in the cold against Pittsburgh. And since the AFC Championship game is earlier, it won't be that cold (expected to be close to 50 on Sunday). Had his receivers not dropped 8 passes it might not have been a close game at the end. He can do enough to be a game manager and help his team.

    Manning gives them the best chance to win.

    Yes, physically he is the not the Peyton of old but there is no replacing the QB knowledge. We've seen that the last two weeks, at the critical times Manning calls the right play for the situation. Osweiler played well and his full time will come, maybe as soon as next year, but for a championship game I'll take Mannings experience.

    If they want to win the game, Manning can't play in the cold. The only reason they've made it this far is because of the D. Both QB's are overrated now.

    Doesn't matter. Broncos fans have no say who plays QB

    Manning. He's looking pretty good. With his receivers catching the balls thrown to them instead of all the drops, that game would have been over early.

    Doesn't matter what the fans think they are not the ones running the team

    They are split 50-50.
