Are you talking about the second Super Bowl team?
If so,
DRC is probably just as good as Crockett or Gordon, if not better. Darius Johnston had two picks in the Super Bowl, but Haris is probably better. And Von would be the best player on the Defense if he wasn't fat and they used him right; maybe slide Romo to MLB and Von takes Cadrez's spot.
The offense is where it gets real tricky. QB. Nope I'm not going to entertain it. You could find some way to get Clady and Vasquez to start for that team. But I'm not sure you could take the WRs off the field considering the offense they ran. They blocked like beasts.
Special teams, I'll take both their kickers now, but Darien Gordon gets a huge nod over Holliday. I don't remember ever being terrified with Gordon back there.Last edited by M-G; 12-14-2013, 06:45 PM.

PRATER AT A GLANCE:
• A seventh-year kicker who ranks first in franchise history in field goal accuracy having converted 134-of-163 (.822) attempts in his first six seasons with the Broncos.
• Converted 45-of-48 (.938) career field goals in the fourth quarter in addition to connecting on all four of his attempts in overtime.
• Set an NFL record with a 64-yard filed goal vs. Tennessee (12/8/13).
• Owns the best field goal percentage from 50+ yards (.769/ 20-of-26) in league history among players who started their career after 1970 (min. 20 att.)
• Owns four AFC Special Teams Player of the Week awards (2008, ‘09, ‘11, ‘12) and two AFC Special Teams Player of the Month honors (Sept. ‘09, Dec./Jan. ‘11) for his NFL career.
• Set a franchise kicker record with 133 points scored (26/32 FGs, 55/55 PATs) and led the NFL with 65 touchbacks on kickoffs in 2012.
• Delivered four game-winning field goals on the last play of the game in 2011 (3 in OT, 1 on last play of regulation) to tie for the second most in a single season in NFL history.
• Joined Mike Vanderjagt as the only two players in NFL history to kick a 50+yard field goal with less than a minute remaining in regulation to force overtime in addition to converting a 50+yard game-winning field goal in overtime with his performance vs. Chicago (12/11/11).
• Made 16-of-18 field goals in 2010 to represent the second-highest single-season field goal percentage (.889) in team history (min. 10 att.).
• Converted 18 consecutive field goal attempts, spanning the last eight games in 2009 and the first six contests in 2010, to represent the third-longest such streak in Broncos history.
• Tied the Broncos’ single-season record and ranked fourth in the NFL with five 50-yard field goals, including a career-long 56-yarder as well as two 50-yarders in one game, in 2008.

Hmm...
1997 Offense:
Elway
Davis
Griffith
Smith
McCaffrey
Sharpe
Zimmerman
Schlereth
Nalen
Habib
Jones
2013
Manning
Moreno
Thomas
Decker
Welker
Thomas
Clark
Beadles
Ramirez
Vasquez
Franklin
Different eras. Different base offenses. Plus I am horribly biased, and that 1997 team was pretty ****ing awesome. So no real change.
1997 Defense
Smith
Traylor
Lodish
Williams
Mobley
Aldridge
Romo
Crockett
Gordon
Atwater
Braxton
2013 Defense
Wolfe
Knighton
Unrein
Phillips/Ayers
Travathan
Woodyard
Miller
DRC
Webster
Boldin
Ihenacho
Defense is a little bit easier. Von for Romo (oh, the horror...), DRC for Crockett, Knighton for Lodish. Otherwise I'd stay pat.
1997 kicker/punter
Rouen
Elam
2013 K/P
Prater
Colquitt
I'd take both Prater and Colquitt over Elam and Rouen.
It's hard to compare a championship team to the current team until this team wins a title.
