50 years ago: we would be toasted and crunchy snacks!
Today: It would be a horrific war and I am glad that I do not have to fight in it as an Army Soldier! They would be burning, freezing, gasing, etc us and we would be trying to atomize them. I am not so sure there would be much planet left to live on! ;)
Depends on the type of dragon.
Pernian - no problem.
Stardragon - we're not at all up to their technology level, outcome depends on what they want - instant annihilation, friendly meeting, etc. - any of the other scenarios for alien encounters.
Classical Mythological - it would be a problem but could be managed with our weaponry, that is if they just showed up now. If they had always been around in numbers - no, if we were still around we'd be hiding in holes in the ground still in the stone ages.

I'm with Clay on this one. But perhaps classical dragons would be so ferociously territorial as to require solitary and distant lives. If so, there could be some human progress in the margins. Enough progress that humans are able to manufacture those items from precious materials that dragons like to hoard so much.
I highly doubt it. Ever seen Reign of Fire?? That would be our life if dragons were alive today...
hahahaha - to merely speculate on this is funny!
