Many of the names in the "Not to be forgotten" list should be removed. If we listed every player that played 1-3 year it would be a long list. Some that I think should be removed: Dale Carter, Marlin Briscoe, Abner Haynes, Garrison Hearst, Tony Dorsett, just to name a few.
Can someone post on why the Broncos offensive linemen don't speak? Thanks.

This page seems to have a lack of content compared to the other NFL teams. Perhaps somone with more knowledge could change this?
I added a little bit of current information regarding the season up until this point as well as a sentence about Phillip Lindsay. What do you all think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeamonn ( talk • contribs) 03:47, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Hey guys, Tripucka's No. 18 is no longer retired as of Training Camp '05.

Added mentions of Terrell Davis and the 5 Super Bowls under Elway to the body of the text. Qwerty18 15:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I see that the info written about the uniforms came almost verbatim from [1]. How should this be handled? -- CRiyl 06:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
I put a clean up tag on the article because there are numerous grammatical errors. Also, this article reads like an informal sports "journalistic" piece. I don't believe that prognostications about the future or personal opinions about the team should be added.
There has been some debate about the Broncos' colors. According to page 2 of the Broncos 2006 Media Guide, [2] their official colors are "Orange and Broncos Navy Blue". I added the source to the article so their shouldn't be any more confusion. Lewis 03:13, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Someone has put on this page twice that they love someone and I cleaned it up and put on the tag so it will not happen again!
Damian played in 3 games in the 2006 season (against the Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs). http://www.denverbroncos.com/page.php?id=334&storyID=6582 Damian isn't listed in the main article. Crocoite 10:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
A source cite would probably be useful for this, as several QBs could lay claim to this statistic (including Jake Plummer and Joe Montana, btw). 147.145.40.44 22:32, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Someone keeps implying that the Denver Broncos are the only original AFL team never to have moved from its original city. Considering that New York Titans/Jets, Buffalo Bills and Boston/New England Patriots never have moved either (admittedly, they have moved within the same metro region; e.g., from the city proper to a suburb), this phrase is misleading, which is why I'm going to delete it again.
Hello, at the request of an individual who stated his/her opinion on this discussion, I put information on the nickname "Orange Crush", and it was removed. That was not necessary. Please halt this nonsense at once. Thank-you.

Was Frank Tripucka's number actually retired?
On the one hand, one source (I can't access the full article) says:
On the other hand, the NFL.com website still lists Tripucka's number as retired:
I'm inclined to go with the NFL site on this, unless the Broncos do issue number 18 to a current player. Johnelwayrules ( talk) 03:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Add the brown and yellow jerseys —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.235.38.63 ( talk) 20:11, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Just curious if anyone knows how to reproduce what the original jerseys look like. I've read in many books that they were legendarily bad, but I've never seen a picture of them. It would be a good addition to the article. DandyDan2007 ( talk) 12:39, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
I just wanted to explain an edit on the main page even if it should be fairly obvious. Someone had written in quotes next to Demaryius Thomas "a faster Brandon Marshall, without the attitude." Obviously if that's just an editor's opinion that's not acceptable. However if someone notable actually said that, fine, just state who it is and give a source.
As a side note I was wondering, should it wait until the season to see which, if any, of these rookies have an impact before noting the fact that the Broncos drafted them? Presumably draft picks only get discussed in the main article for the team if they end up becoming important. I could see putting Tebow in there since that is a story in and of itself whether he makes an impact or not given how surprising and hotly debated it was. I'm just not sure that draft picks are notable unless they prove to be through the course of the season. Jdlund ( talk) 17:57, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
Could we please add more on the source of there the blue orange and white scheme came from? 96.18.238.19 ( talk) 02:18, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
What is up with this Manning Era? He has not even played a regular season game and he has an era? I understand John Elway era because he was with the team for 15 years and won two Super Bowls and was MVP for the last.
I see that wikipedia doesn't want to put Elway in the box to the right because apparently "Executive VP of Operations" isn't a real position. But it is a very real position - Elway is effectively the director of player personnel AND the general manager lumped together into one category.... and the other teams have people listed under "General Manager" and "Director of Player Personel" so it blows my mind that someone with such a more important place on the team isn't even mentioned in the box. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.166.74.226 ( talk) 19:32, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
The infobox has a stat that reads League Championships (0). Just below that, Super Bowl Championships (2). That's contradictory. I suppose that the former refers to their time in the AFL. I looked into editing the infobox to make a correction, but didn't see where the League Championships stat is created. Perhaps the infobox should read "AFL Championships (0)." If that's not possible (or inconsistent with other articles), could the League Championships stat be removed?

Under section 6.4, Shannon Sharpe, Tight End, (1990-1999, 2002-2003) should be listed as a Ring of Fame inductee as of 2009.

Can you add Shannon Sharpe, #84, Hall of Fame class of 2011, seasons 1990-1999 and 2002-2003 to the Pro Football Hall of Famers table. He once asked the coach after a chiefs game "Does my butts freckles look red or purple to you" after he pulled down his pants and showed the coach. Tatefamily1 ( talk) 23:15, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Broncos defense (2015 - Present)?
Do you think we should add this under Orange Crush (1977-79 defense)?

Don't you think we could add "Championships" & modify "Retired Numbers" sections? After seeing the Packers & Browns retired numbers, we could improve this one a little. -- JLAmidei ( talk) 12:12, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
Something I have noticed on Wikipedia is that all other NFL teams have their jersey color as the headers' primary color. For example, Washington has a burgundy header with a gold outline/secondary color. However, for the Denver Broncos we still have the navy header with orange secondary. The orange jerseys have been the primary set since 2012, so I believe every season since 2012 and the main page should be updated. Jimania16 ( talk) 16:41, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
There's been a couple edits and reversions, but to clarify: Walton has entered into a purchase agreement but isn't yet the owner of the Broncos. The Team President hopes the purchase will be done by the start of the season but the league has to approve of the sale and there's lots of legalities and financial stuff to finalize. I have no reason to believe it won't be finalized eventually but the Bowlen estate still owns the team for now. PantsB ( talk) 05:34, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
