    I'm 40 years old and what I will always remember about Elway was his cannon! In some way, he was the precursor guy that could scramble out of the pocket and throw a 50-yard bomb on point similar to what many QB's like Mahomes or Watson are doing today.

I cried for days when he stopped playing but understood why. He's a class act to be remembered by so many fans.

    It's such a different era that Elway was playing in. In the contemporary game favoring quarterbacks, he'd have a 5,500-yard passing season, maybe multiple. In his prime, he was everything we see in Mahomes. Incomparable talent. Even at 38 in that final game, he launches a rocket 50 yards through the air on a rope to Rod Smith. Wouldn't have rather grown up in any other era of football, cheering for any other player. Broncos football will never be more exciting than it was with #7.

    Elway was so good he took the broncos to the superbowl multiple times when they had no business even being there and it showed, they were just destroyed in his first 3 super bowls. Elway willed his team to the big game on skill and grit alone but they didn’t have the total team talent to win until they got him a lot of help on defense and offense. Especially when Terrell Davis just showed up and was basically a Demi god playing as a running back and having John Elway as his quarterback was an amazing 1-2 punch. I love the Denver broncos and Elway, Davis, sharpe, Rod Smith, Ed Mccaffery, Jason Elam and Steve Atwater just to name a few. Gooo Broncos!!!

    In terms of athleticism and insane arm talent, Elway was essentially Mahomes before Mahomes. The man had a howitzer attached to his right shoulder. They got smashed in those first three Super Bowls, but Elway carried those teams there. As number 1 overall pick quarterbacks go, I'd argue only Peyton Manning was more accomplished.

    That's not an arm that's a gun...John Elway was ahead of his time. His playing style with the mobility and strong arm deep downfield accuracy holds well into today. Just look at all the QBs with his playing style that came after him like Farve, Rodgers, Mahomes maybe even Josh Allen. Those days with the very Tall and no mobility standing QBs are over. Defenses are just getting way too fast.

    Notice how his best statistical seasons happened at the tail end of his career, when he had Sharpe, Smith, and McCaffrey to throw the ball to. Imagine if he had them during the late '80s and early '90s. He'd be putting up Aaron Rodgers-type of numbers.

      Probably not considering the era. Average qbs these days are putting up more efficient numbers simply because of the way football is played now. It's why numbers and stats are never really a good way to indicate who is better in different pointe in history.

    So many great things about The Duke. One thing not mentioned much but was the best I ever saw was his pocket presence. He could be standing there, than move forward or side to side or backward in a split second avoiding a sack or tackle, like he had eyes in the back, side and front of his head!
    He won back to back Super Bowls at 37-38, retiring as the Super Bowl MVP.
    My friends say he only won because he had great talent around him and great coaching. So replace Montana, Brady, Bradshaw, and any other quarterback that won because they had great talent and coaching around them with Elway, in their primes. He’d have won 10 championships. Take any of those Legends and put them on the teams Elway dragged to the Super Bowl with little talent and coaching, and they would have never even been in a Super Bowl.
    Elway best ever, the eyes and stats tell you that.
    Bill Walsh wanted to trade Joe Montana for Elway, after Montana, in his early prime won a Super Bowl. He was licking his chops thinking what he could do with a talent like Elway. Montana was great, but Elway? Next level.
    Watching Elway was a religious experience, and indeed it was. Proof? Ask the many that experienced first hand the Elway cross.
