Would you rather ... the Broncos beat the Jaguars in 1997 or Ravens in 2013?When the offseason arrives, it gives fans a chance to get into all the fun discussions about their favorite teams and players. One conversation that is a staple of offseason fun is, of course, “Would you rather?” On the MHR Radio Podcast (ApplePodcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher), Ian and I had some fun with a couple different questions.With the Denver Broncos, a popular question in this game is would you rather the Broncos had won the 1997 AFC Divisional playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, or the 2013 Divisional playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens? One rule that Ian and I implemented was that we had to pick one. No saying both or neither. In 1996, the Broncos were the best team in the NFL at 13-3. They were the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, and a prohibitive favorite. Head coach Mike Shanahan had put together what was clearly the best team in Broncos history (at that point). Terrell Davis won the AP Offensive MVP. The Broncos sent nine players to the Pro Bowl, including John Elway.With his career fading, Elway had what looked like his best chance to finally win a Super Bowl. The Lombardi Trophy had eluded him in some heartbreaking ways, but this was it. Broncos Country felt like it could finally be John’s year (he was always John in my house).In 2012, Peyton Manning led the Broncos to a 13-3 record (again). After a shaky start to the season, going 3-3 in the first six weeks Denver Broncos Customized Jerseys , Denver came out of the bye and rattled off 10-straight wins. They were more than just wins. The Broncos demolished their opponents. It was the best team Denver had with Peyton Manning. The loss to the Ravens was heart-wrenching. The game was over. The Broncos defense just needed to stand firm and hold Joe Flacco in check. Instead, like many of you, the Hail Mary that fell into the hands of Jacoby Jones, over the outstretched arms of Rahim Moore, is burned into my memory. It also gave us the infamous John Fox choosing to take a knee with 30 seconds left, the ball in the hands of PFM and Matt Prater kicking field goals from 50-plus with ease. It was peak-level frustration for Broncos Country. As Ian said on the podcast (ApplePodcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher), the ancillary effects of the Broncos winning that game, keeping Ray Lewis from going out a champion, potentially beating Tom Brady one more time in the AFC Championship game, and so on, make this a prime pick for many fans. Not me.The 1996 Broncos were supposed to be the team that broke Elway’s curse. After giving the franchise some of its best years, but falling short three times in the big game, it was time for the team to finally complete the ultimate task. Denver was the best team in the NFL, and looked like a potential beginning of a dynasty. It was finally all coming together.And in my house, John Elway was the Denver Broncos. Having grown up in Broncos Country, spent summer days at training camp in Greeley Denver Broncos T-Shirts , and having hopes dashed multiple times, this felt like the jinx was rearing its ugly head. Like we would never get to celebrate Elway’s greatness. As if he would finish as the best to never win the big one. It was a crushing, infuriating defeat, and has served as the fuel for my fiery hatred of the Jaguars ever since.My choice clear, it was the ‘97 loss to the Jaguars.

Broncos got some difference-makers that can ‘push the team up’ in the AFC WestChristopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY SportsThe First & 10 @ 10 crew on Orange and Blue Radio continued today breaking down the Broncos’ draft and had some interesting conversations with two college gurus - Ben Fennell of The Athletic and Chad Reuter of NFL.com.Both agreed the Broncos drafted some really good players and both were particularly happy with John Elway’s second round - getting Dalton Risner at 41 and then Drew Lock at 42.“I really like the potential of Drew Lock in Denver,” Fennell said, adding that he’s looking forward to Joe Flacco and Lock competing in training camp - not necessarily for the No. 1 QB position but just for seeing how Lock develops.“You’re getting a veteran with a fresh scene and new start, and that could really reinvigorate him and get him refocused Denver Broncos Hats ,” Fennell added. “It will be nice to have that veteran presence.”(Interestingly, Fennell was possibly most excited about the potential of Brett Rypien, a guy he considers a first or second-rounder by QB ability if not for his 6-foot-1, 210-pound frame.)Listen to "4-29-19 Ben Fennell on 1st & 10" on Spreaker.Reuter also likes having Lock in Denver and doesn’t believe fans should start expecting too much out of him in 2019.“This is an investment. I wouldn’t be worried in 2019, but in 2020 he needs to show it was a good pick,” Reuter said. “And if it wasn’t, you trade him for picks and it was still a good move.”When Andrew Mason asked if teams should always overdraft at the quarterback position (something Mase agrees with) until they get their guy, Reuter didn’t hesitate.“Absolutely. If you don’t have a young QB on your roster in the NFL, you’re really in trouble,” he said. “It was a good pick and a worthwhile investment.”Both draft gurus were a little perplexed at the Broncos not taking the freaky athletic Devin Bush - and opting to trade down and get the freaky athletic Noah Fant instead plus another pick that resulted in getting Drew Lock (as well as another third-round pick in 2020) - but neither thought it was a bad move.“It’s a bit puzzling. Certainly had a need at inside linebacker and having explosive playmaker in the middle affects all layers of the defense,” Fennell said, pointing out that both thedefensive line and the secondary benefit from linebackers who can chase down the ball carrier. “But when you have some stout run-stuffers to keep the linebackers free on the second-level, suddenly you don’t need elite players,” he added. “You can plug and play average linebackers. Whether that’s Josey Jewell or Todd Davis - or even Dekoda Watson or Keishawn Bierria - there are quality players there.”Listen to "4-29-19 Chad Reuter on 1st & 10" on Spreaker.Reuter agreed that the decision not to get Devin Bush may be one the Broncos regret in the future, but “if you pass up one great player and end up getting two really good starters,” then it was likely worth it.When it came to Dalton Risner, both analysts could not have been happier with the Broncos’ choice to go offensive lineman as their top pick in round two.“You’ve got to love Risner in Denver,” Reuter said of the Colorado native. “It just makes too much sense.”For Fennell https://www.broncosfanstore.com/hoodie , Risner is an instant impact player for Denver.“Any time you have a big nasty mauling offensive lineman that can kind of play a multitude of positions on the offensive line, it just makes roster better, adds attitude to offense. ...It’s just a huge position the offense.”And everyone knows the woes the Broncos have had recently on offense, and after letting the best offensive lineman go to Carolina via free agency two months ago, Denver needed that guy.Which might be why Reuter picked the Wiggins native to be the biggest impact player for the Broncos of this 2019 draft class.“He is just going to be a solid guy who will lead the team from the front,” Reuter said. “You could have the prettiest looking Tesstarosa (Ferrari), but if that engine’s no good, then forget it. It’s not going anywhere. I think he’s the guy that will lead this time for quite a while. I think Lock will be pretty good, but Risner’s the key to that whole thing for me.”And Reuter definitely believes several of the Broncos new rookies are impact players who could mean the difference in two or three games going Denver’s way this season.“If Noah Fant can make a catch in a crucial moment that helps win a game, or if Derek Wolfe or Adam Gotsis gets hurt and Dre’mont Jones steps in and makes some plays that helps them hold onto a win, or if Risner steps in and solidifies the line, that can make the difference,” he said. “This group could help them win two to three more games this year, which could push them up in the division.”
