5 reasons the Denver Broncos will still play in Super Bowl 51
1. John Elway has found a recipe for success
Given his achievements as both a player and a general manager, it appears John Elway has found the recipe for success.
During the earlier part of his career, that didn’t seem like it would be the case. Although his playing career is headlined by 50,000 yards, 300 touchdowns and 35 fourth quarter comebacks, the 1980s were packed with growing pains and teachable moments.
Luckily for Elway, persistence has been known to pay off in the game of football. After 16 years as a player, Elway went out in true storybook fashion: with back-to-back Super Bowl victories.

Both championships were acquired with Mike Shanahan and Gary Kubiak leading the charge. Now General Manager of the franchise he made famous, Elway is winning with Kubiak once again.
Backed by a young roster and some key players in the prime of their careers, the Broncos could very well become the next team of the decade.
Elway has put himself and his team in a very comfortable position that most teams will never see, no matter how many seasons they play. One thing’s for sure, John has has found something that works very well at the pro level, and it doesn’t appear that anyone will catch up to him any time soon.
