We all hate Elway bc he was a Donk but he was a damn good QB. I would argue he is the best of all time going by pure talent.

I'm old and my perspective is slanted because of it, but my list of "best QB ever" candidates will always start with Otto Graham and John Unitas. Elway was a great QB; just not the "greatest" IMO.

edit: Put most of todays QB's on the field with the rules Graham and Unitas played under and they'd last about as long as Brodie Croyle.
