Five reasons the Denver Broncos will win Super Bowl 50

2. Two solid options at QB

Some might argue that this is the top reason the Broncos won’t win Super Bowl 50, and they can make a decent case. A quarterback controversy is rarely ever a good thing, as we saw firsthand this season with the Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, and a number of other teams around the NFL.

Usually a logjam at the position occurs during the offseason or in training camp; it’s almost unheard of that a team entering the playoffs, let alone as the No. 1 seed, has football fans across the country speculating as to who will be under center when the Broncos take the field again on January 17.

But this is the crazy world Gary Kubiak has made us all live in, and only he knows who will be the starting quarterback against either the Steelers or the Chiefs/Texans victor. Maybe Kubiak himself doesn’t even know yet.

As much as this uncertainty could be perceived as a weakness, it also could be looked at as a strength. Denver has two legitimate starting quarterbacks to play with as the postseason develops. If they start Sunday’s savior in Manning and he struggles, Kubiak can flip Week 17’s script and insert Osweiler, who surely is chomping at the bit to reclaim his starring role. Likewise, if Denver chooses to go with Osweiler and he comes out flat like he did against San Diego, they can hope for a similar spark by turning the reigns over to a future Hall of Famer and fan favorite.

In many ways, it’s a win-win for Kubiak and Broncos fans.
