Elway's annual rank in passing yards over the course of his career.

1983 - 28th
1984 - 15th
1985 - 2nd
1986 - 9th
1987 - 4th
1988 - 8th
1989 - 16th
1990 - 5th
1991 - 8th
1992 - 18th
1993 - 1st
1994 - 8th
1995 - 5th
1996 - 7th
1997 - 6th
1998 - 12th

So what we see here is the secret to why some people think Elway was "great". While he was a very inefficient quarterback, he got many, many chances to pile up statistics. Even then he was only in the top 10 percent of the league 2 years out of 16, but the bottom line is that he was given lots of opportunities despite his mediocre performance and was never benched, allowing him to pile up stats over the course of his so-called career.
