Peyton Manning 1 all other Denver Broncos zero !?

Peyton Manning is the only man on the 53 man roster with a Superbowl Ring, John Fox included. Will this be a disadvantage in the Broncos playoff run ? Or drive them harder as a team to win a superbowl ?

    I don't believe it's a disadvantage. There are plenty of teams that have won the Super Bowl with minimal Super Bowl experience on their roster. It comes down to the team that executes the best.

    Not including Dan Koppen, who played in 4 Super Bowls and got 2 rings but is currently on injured reserve, VP John Elway and owner Pat Bowlen yes, he is the only one on the 53-man roster.

    Manning didn't have a ring before winning a Super Bowl, so how many the team has, collectively, is irrelevant. The best team will win unless the Stealers make the Super Bowl. Then the refs will hand it to them.

    They are a one man team. Think of the 2011 Packers with Rodgers. Their defense was just awful that year (even with future HOF Charles Woodson and Clay Matthews, who could make the Hall of Fame one day) like the Broncos of 2013.

    Their defense has been awful all season long and I thought with Von Miller back, their pass rush would be a lot better but it hasn't. Too many big plays given up by the defense and a lot of mental mistakes that gives opposing offenses more chances than they should have.

    Offensively, yeah, they are pretty much explosive but that's because of Peyton. He makes their receivers and tight ends look good because Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, and Eric Decker weren't even that good before he came there. He even made Knowshon Moreno look like a Pro Bowl running back, who was terrible before Peyton got there.

    The thing is, Peyton has a 9-11 record in his career in the playoffs. And in the Colts 2006 Super Bowl run, he got carried by his defense. How do you explain throwing 3 TDs and getting picked off 7 times and yet, your team still win the Super Bowl? I don't see the Broncos winning the Super Bowl, let alone making it to the Super Bowl because Peyton is a "choker" and their defense is awful!
