Carried a lot of lackluster Broncos teams for years. Got them farther than they ever deserved to get. Thought it would have been interesting to see in an alternate universe what Walsh could do with Elway and the 49ers. Wouldve been like Favre on the Packers.

Viper652 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Elway was incredible. I don't get the hate. He willed teams to the Super Bowl that had no business being there He's better than overrated Montana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had no business being on the same field as the NFC teams but getting their wasn’t as impressive. Any when he did get there he did what was expected.

Jlowe22 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I don't hate on Elway, I just don't like to see him ranked over a few other QBs I think are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just talking about people who think Elway is top 5 or even top 3. I think he's at the bottom of top ten. I'm constantly hearing otherwise though. The OP looks like a chronological order.

No one could win with that support. Yeah, Marino was also awful in many of those games. Peyton is a much better playoff performer then Marino. It is hypocritical to ding Manning and let Marino slide.

I think he's at the bottom of top ten. I'm constantly hearing otherwise though. This is about where I land too. I am one of those old foggies who saw Elway play and no - you can't start and end the conversation with stats (like a career passer rating of 79.9, below such stars as Kyle Orton, Josh McCown and Blake Bortles) because Elway kept plays alive and had a will and drive to come up big late in games. But you also can't just ignore those stats. To me, the argument isn't "Was he a great qb?" Of course. That's a given. It's "Does he belong in the top 10 all-time?" and I'd say he's close but not quite. It also irks me when Broncos fans use the argument that "Elway dragged all those average teams to the playoffs" then turn around and say the HOF has a bias because the guys on those Elway teams aren't enshrined already. Can't have it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just write off some of these performances due to the quality of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
