Right. And, you were what... 4 when those games were played?

Anyway, if it were someone other than you, I'd play this game... but, I'm wasting time with you.

Never had an offensive lineman make the Pro Bowl (until the early 90's, when Keith Bishop made it). Never had a WR make the Pro Bowl. Had a season or two where a RB made it, if I remember correctly (Winder in the mid-80's and Humphrey in '90, maybe). Shannon Sharpe came along in the 90's, but otherwise Elway was throwing to the likes of Clarence Kay and Orson Mobley at tight end.

And the thing about their defensive ranking - their offense was built to allow the defense to do that. It was basically Marty-ball, Dan Reeves style. There were a few years where the offense was towards the top of the league, statistically - in spite of a dearth of talent, outside of Elway.

Elway reminds me of Trent Dilfer. He rode a great running game and defense to a Super Bowl. Elway managed to do that once the Broncos got Terrell Davis. Good for him!

Offensively in the late 80s, it was the 3 Amigos and Sammy Winder at RB. It wasn't until Bobby Humphrey in '89 when Elway had a 1,000+ yd rusher in the game with him. Sadly, they ran up against a dominating 49ers squad.

Dan Reeves has proven and it's been well documented by reading player comments from that time that Reeves was horrible at handling the game plan during SB week.

That may be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen you post, and that's saying something.

Ah c'mon... don't take the bait, he's just posting crap to rile you up.

Peyton Manning. None of those other QB's had as much responsibility for the offense than him. He will re-write the record books before he retires. I see him winning about 2 more SB's in his career.

I just had to point it out. When Bob says something that tops his previous stupidity watermark - well, it's noteworthy.

I dunno, I'd like to see what Manning could do with a stripped down version of that offense. Manning has a wealth of talent around him that few others have ever had. I'm not saying he's only good b/c of that talent, but I'd like to see what he could do with the supporting cast that Elway had in the late 80s or Brady did last year.

I dunno, if that's the criteria... you'll be doing this 3 or 4 times a day.

But Elway doesn't offend you?

That's a joke. Manning has what? 2 MVPs, has at least as many rings as Favre, and will break -- more likely annihilate, every record Favre has ever had or dreamed of having by the time he's done. So end of story it's going to be Manning, I guess?!

Yeah, no. Not Favre and not Manning either.

Word.

This sort of applies to Joe Montana too, I'm sorry to say.

Frankly, take a VERY good QB and give him a Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne and a solid offensive system with coaches who never leave, or a Jerry Rice and the other talent Montana had, and suddenly you've got arguments for the GOAT.

I won't answer the question except to say that I'd take Montana and Brady over anyone else I've ever seen because typically they were VERY clutch, and elevated their games in the playoffs.

John Elway is the grestest QB to play the game..he's got the stats,m the g;lory, and the atletics. He's the total package...and the only man to live up to the hype.

Several of the QBs on this list and many will take the guy from the team they love, and that includes me. All I know is that more often than not, Elway made it happen when Denver needed something to win.
