The revisionist history around here regarding Elway is interesting.
I mean, he had a horrible rating. His td/int ratio isn’t good. It’s not close to Montana’s. When he won the SB he had an elite ground game.
You act like he was putting up massive numbers while going to these sbs. He basically was Trent Dilfer before 94.
Incredibly overrated

All Time NFL Ranks for QB
NFL Wins - #1 at retirement and currently #7
Playoff Wins - #2 at retirement and currently #6
Passing Yards - #2 at retirement and currently #14
Passing TDs - #3 at retirement and currently #14
The game changes all the time and he finished Top 3 in those four major categories. In the 25 years since he Elway retired, the rules have become very friendly to the passing game and how defenses play, but his body of work holds well.
Slice up history however you like, I’m at peace where I believe he ranks.
reading this post made me curious about all time QB playoff wins and seeing Mahomes at 3 shellshocked me. I feel like they mentioned that at the end of the Suber Bowl but i guess it never sank in. That shit is crazy. 15-3 record at his age is just bonkers. At 29 Brady had 12 wins and 2 losses.
