Respect from a Broncos fan. Mad respect for Tim Brown and James Jett. I'm a WV boy and a Mountaineer fan, so I followed James Jett's career. Brown, Jett, and Rocket Ismail were a frightening trio of receivers.
A Bronco fan my entire life growing up in Colorado Springs. I still remember fondly my Mom shedding a few tears of joy when John Elway hoisted the Lombardi Trophy! I will always be a huge fan of Mr. Elway and the Denver Broncos!
My hero and favorite player growing up as a kid. I felt all the pain of the superbowl loses and the joy and relief for him with the victories to end his career.
My first memory as a Broncos fan is the '86 Super Bowl. John Elway was my hero growing up. I was him every time I played football (pick up games, high school, etc) I even emulated his throwing motion which wasn't ideal but I got it down pretty good. Thanks for all the memories #7!
Bo Nix leading the Denver Broncos to a 6-5 record in his rookie year, while shattering numerous records, is nothing short of extraordinary. Earning Rookie of the Year-or even Offensive MVP for the season-seems well within reach for him.
Elway is an absolute legend. Talent, grit, heart, never say never attitude. Having said that, I think his problem was, him being that talented, he thought anyone with the right size and arm strength could do what he did. Be it Brock Osweiler(!) or Paxton Lynch (!!!). Elway did know how a good defense is supposed to look like, because that’s what he faced in his playing days.
He can assess and pick a defensive player all day you are correct there. Maybe being a QB studying defences sharpened his wits for that side of the game?
I was in the stands when John threw the first pass in the preseason his rookie year. You could hear the crowd gasp because of the velocity on that ball. It was obviously different than anything we had seen before. It was a great ride over the years. Thank You John Elway for making the Broncos and Denver a Great football town.
To me John Elway is the GOAT. Seen all his games and a few in person. Met him at the pro bowl once trying to get his autograph and his PR guy said he's busy and Elway said hey he's a Broncos fan and he signed it. Probably cause I had my Al Wilson jersey on
He destroyed my Ohio cousins football esteem over and over again. Of course Cleveland is doing it to themselves now as well, but when he had a couple minutes left at the end of a half with the ball, opponents got nervous. What a qb class in 83...glad I got to watch their careers.
If I was a modern day GM, here are the things I would be looking for: Intelligence, making great decisions quickly, athleticism, grit and toughness. Then you have to develop the qb. Chicago has a history of not being able to develop qb's. KC has a history of being able to bring out the best of the quarterbacks.
John Elway will never not be the Broncos. No athlete will ever pass John for the impact he had on Denver. The only debate in Denver sports is who the Teddy Roosevelt on the Mount Rushmore, because Elway is Washington, Sakic is Jefferson, and Jokic is Lincoln.
I met him once. With his kids in our shop. He was my hero growing up. I've never been nervous being in the same room with someone. Super nice guy and hero.
Best of all time are Unitas and Starr and Graham and Starbucks and Bradshaw old school and Montana and Marino and Elway and Moon and Young and Aikmen and Favre and and Manning and Brady and Rodgers and Brees and Mahomes and Allen and Burrow today.
It’s telling that no discussion related to the GOAT qb with guys like Elway or Montana is ever done without bringing up Marino. He seems to be the choice among those who played the position. Even without the rings. Interesting
Marino was the one who broke the glass ceiling of passing attack, leading the way to 40-50 attempts/game. Before 1984, teams went vertically for an average of 20 attempts/game. Which means MANY were in the 15 attempts range!
John Elway is THE quarterback NFL teams are looking for today. Big, strong, athletic, incomparable arm strength, super competitive, great leader ………. The prototypical quarterback of today. He could play successfully in any era. Miss him on the field.
The 3rd greayest player in Broncos history. TD #1, Manning #2 and then Elway. Elway is probably the worst at evaluating a QB. The Einstein picked Paxton Lynch over Dak

As a Raider fan for 35 years, I can tell you, John Elway is absolutely one of the all time greats.
Respect from a Broncos fan. Mad respect for Tim Brown and James Jett. I'm a WV boy and a Mountaineer fan, so I followed James Jett's career. Brown, Jett, and Rocket Ismail were a frightening trio of receivers.
As a Pats fan...he never was beaten by a Pats team.
Thanks captain
In terms of raw physical talent - Nobody was better than Elway
A Bronco fan my entire life growing up in Colorado Springs. I still remember fondly my Mom shedding a few tears of joy when John Elway hoisted the Lombardi Trophy! I will always be a huge fan of Mr. Elway and the Denver Broncos!
My childhood hero. Wish we saw more of you John!
My hero and favorite player growing up as a kid. I felt all the pain of the superbowl loses and the joy and relief for him with the victories to end his career.
Born raised and still reside in IL and at 46 years old John Elway is the sole reason I am and will forever be a broncos fan.
#7 - Johnny Legend. My all-time favorite and the reason I've been a Broncos fan since the early 90's.

Good to see you champ!!
Loved watching Elway sling it…That era in the NFL was so much fun to watch. Elway, Moreno, and Fouts were my favorites. Fun times.

John mother lovin’ Elway. Legend.
Elway’s the GOAT
Blah blah blah.... get real
@ cry
John Elway will always be my favorite footballer. I watched him at Stanford and became a hardcore Broncos fan when they signed him.

Great set of questions.
good to see him, he's been seemingly laying low
He did appear on the masked singer though lol, still so random but he sounds like he's well
Elway in today’s game would be a better version of Josh Allen.
Loved Elway.
Wish I was old enough to watch Elway in his prime.
Is that Gary Busey?
The man who made #7 so famous

John was no joke 👍
It didn't take a rocket surgeon to select Josh Allen, sheesh.

Being a QB took a toll. He looks closer to 80 than 64.
Playing out in the sun for most his life. If you wanna stay looking young, stay out of the sun.
Alcohol does bad things to the body.
Elway unfortunately drinks, alot.
He drinks a lot now, and he chews tabbacy also.
It's the alcohol buddy
JONNY E!!!!!
For Elway it was extremely difficult
The Duke.
Were not worthy !
I used to live in Denver, and people used to tell me that whenever they met John Elway, he was such a nice guy.
I met him once. With his kids in our shop. He was my hero growing up. I've never been nervous being in the same room with someone. Super nice guy and hero.
His voice sounds really shaky

top 10 yea, top 5 nah. Top five (retired) in no particular order: Montana, Elway, Brady, Peyton and Unitas.
Montana was the goat before Brady duh
@ I’m not arguing for one qb or another. Simply stating that when the topic arises all the greats bring up Marino
Elway never evaluated a rookie QB correctly in his life. 😂
LOL I mean he did give a pretty good response - sounds like he learned a thing or two AND threw his OC / Coach under the bus.
He passed on Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jordan Love & Jalen Hurts.
H@@whatmaneZero Superbowl wins between them all!😂
Yeah it's probably a sore subject- hasn't met Bo Nix yet. Could be why.
John Elway is THE quarterback NFL teams are looking for today. Big, strong, athletic, incomparable arm strength, super competitive, great leader ………. The prototypical quarterback of today. He could play successfully in any era. Miss him on the field.
Being a great QB doesn't make you a great evaluator of QB talent, exhibit A: John Elway.
I have only had one sports hero in my lifetime. He is Jack Elway, John's dad .
The 3rd greayest player in Broncos history. TD #1, Manning #2 and then Elway. Elway is probably the worst at evaluating a QB. The Einstein picked Paxton Lynch over Dak
Weird order. Reverse it.
