Are Manning's Broncos Better Than Elway's?

[pavyracer]

I don't think so.

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

[dfish]

What about Ed McCaffrey ?

He would beat the living piss out of Welker.

[slacker00]

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

[pavyracer]

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

Terrell Davis run for 2008 yards that season.

[sweethook]

Elway was very over rated sir.

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.

[pavyracer]

Elway was very over rated sir.

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.

[Big Bear]

good thread kid.

the answer is no.

Elways Broncos were tougher and more physical.

[nvrlose37]

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.

[BigdaddyQH]

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.

second series of the game welker is taken out by romo....romo spends first two series just waiting for welker to come underneath...boom...hes done for the day....before the half romo concusses julius thomas with a helmet to helmet after spitting in his face.....so those guys are gone.....td rushes for 130 and two 2tds....elways broncos win

[bobby heenan]

What about Ed McCaffrey ?

He would beat the living piss out of Welker.

easy ed vs decker is an interesting one........i think thomas/decker> r smith and easy ed though

[broadway6]

The better question is, would elway have won a ring without Terrell Davis.

[jjgold]

Elway was much better

He had all the tools

[eidolon]

Elway through some of the best balls.
But i don't think he was the best QB

[Capper1124]

I would say no cause Elway's teams played defense

[PAULYPOKER]

No.......

This team is ALL Peyton Manning as the Ravens were ALL Ray Lewis.............

Simple as that........

[eidolon]

No.......

This team is ALL Peyton Manning as the Ravens were ALL Ray Lewis.............

Simple as that........

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..

[unluckysob]

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

[unluckysob]

Agree---agree---agree

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

C'mon now, majority of Peyton's career been played in the fantasy fb era.

[Chong Wizard]

These are still Elway's broncos he's the man that brought in Peyton. Without Elway there is no Peyton on the Broncos.
