Shady Slim Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 when did the 80s broncos prerelease a draft of their team that got heckled into oblivion by the internet such that a bunch of underpaid workers were forced to go back to the drawing board to rectify it while their corporate overlords rolled in their money takings? actually that sort of does sound like the employment structure of football so carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 6 hours ago, Starless said: Also Jim Carrey has had a more consistent career than John Elway. I feel as if we're not giving enough credit to In Living Color Jim Carrey. Fire Marshall Bill is one of the better sketch comedy characters of our generation. John Elway's pre-SB career can't really keep up with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP3MVP Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The AFC from 1986-1989 might be the WOAT conference in sports though. The 89 AFC especially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I just wanted to troll a bit. He got us 3 rings so he can be as overrated as anyone wants to believe. I don't think that anyone believes that he's a top 5 QB or a legendary GM or anything. Hell, top 10 even. But he's our guy and he defines our franchise and delivered us the goods.

I guess the Colt was viewed too weakly, so they changed it to a Bronco. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Elway is my favorite prospect of all time. I really would have loved to have seen the alternate universe where Bill Walsh orchestrated a trade that made Elway a 49er in 1983. Who knows what happens with the butterfly effect, but at the very least Elway would have been with a better offensive mind. I don't know if he was the "Jim Carrey" of football in the 1980's, but if that's another way of saying he was essentially a one-man army winning in spite of other factors out of his control, then yeah.

NeptunePenguins Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Now serious post time, I have no real way to really rank Elway at all. He is likely the one player I just wouldn't know where to rank. I did make this thread to spark discussion in a way, and I always see some people be like "He is BEAST QB of All-Time" and "He ain't even a Hall of Famer dude, he like original Eli Manning!". I am guessing it is likely between the two extremes. His numbers look crappy, especially at the start of his career, but he did make a bunch of Super Bowls, but those AFC teams in the late 80s weren't exactly juggernauts yeah. Meanwhile his two victories did come from a strong supporting cast, but most QBs do have strong supporting casts when they win the big one. This thread was also kind of making fun of a take somehow had about Jim Carrey and the Sonic movie yeah, but that's another thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
