    Are Manning's Broncos Better Than Elway's?

    I don't think so.

    John Elway, Terrell Davis, Rod Smith, Bill Romanowski much better than current Broncos.

    What about Ed McCaffrey ?

    He would beat the living piss out of Welker.

    Shannon Sharpe, Steve Atwater, John Mobley, Neil Smith, Tom Nalen, Gary Zimmerman... Those teams were stacked.

    Yeah only name on current Broncos team that can compare to those legends is Peyton Manning.

    Terrell Davis run for 2008 yards that season.

    I think that year Terrell was the best running back ever for a season. I know that is saying a lot, but if I remember correctly, he had a lot of receiving yards as well.

    Then that proves my point. The 97-98 teams were much better than current Bronco team. Like I said other than Manning they have no better players.

    good thread kid.

    the answer is no.

    Elways Broncos were tougher and more physical.

    97-99 Denver teams were stacked on both sides of the ball. I love the 2013 Broncos but lets face it, you felt safer with Elway's team winning a game than these guys.

    I mean even Bubby Brister looked good, that tells you how great those teams were.

    You are comparing apples and oranges. Different era's. Different rules. Today's athlete is in much better physical condition. A very tough call. Let's see if Denver can win this game first.

    How dominant were Elway's Broncos? They only needed 200 yds/game passing from Elway to win championships.

    Before nfl gayed up the sport how many 300ypg passers ever won? Elway wouldn't have needed TD if he got to play w these sissy ass rules, we seriously think noodle arm manning would have shredded the defenses in elways era the same way? U know when u could hit the qb and beat the shit out of wrs..

    Elway always said Dan Reeves held him back---wanting to win with defense and running game, more than wide open attack.

    Maybe you forget, Peyton did play in Elway's era. 300 ypg passers never won because legit D's can take that away..
