I'm starting to get cold feet to start him against the Steelers D. Only problem is I got Big Ben playing against Denver on the road with questionable OL and RBs.Anyone feeling the same about Manning as your starter?

yeah, I'm nervous. 1st game back after a year off, on a new team, facing what has been a great defense? Not sure I'm all that keen on Mannign this week. Benching Manning for cutler.

If you bench Manning and start Cutler, there is a chance Cutler outperforms and you feel good. Uncertain about the decision, but good with the outcome. If you bench Manning and start Cutler, and Manning lights up a Steelers secondary that is short a starter, you'll feel like a chump and hate yourself on Monday. You made the choice to gamble when you drafted him, why leave him on your bench now? Manning has a lot to prove. To himself, to Elway, to the skeptics in the media and to the world. You'd better believe he'll be looking to air it out right out of the gates with the planet watching closely. Choosing to bench him in week 1 is over thinking. I have a similar choice. I'm starting Manning.
