It's surprising to me to see people even TRY to compare Elway's early struggles with Croyle's. Actually, it's ridiculous.

Elway was a Phenom, a prodigy.

Croyle is...???

Not.
A lot of people discount Reeves' contribution because he was so heavy handed. I was angry when Reeves was fired...but understand why he had to be, in retrospect.

What was that reason, Mr. listopencil? I honestly don't recall.

Why was Reeves fired? The final straw was, I believe, trying to trade Elway to the Redskins. At that point he had already fired Shanny for insubordination and Reeves' relationship with Elway was destroyed. Bowlen stepped in and fired Reeves.

If Reeves had gone to Dallas instead of Switzer, I fully believe that Cowboys team would have gone 19-0. I even told all my friends at the time I believed that to be so.

I still don't understand how Reeves contribution to the NFL is so often overlooked. He took the Broncos three times to the Super Bowl, the Falcons to the Super Bowl and the Giants to the playoffs (a very poor, untalented Giants team).

Definitely worthy of the Hall of Fame.

The problem for him is he lost all of those SB's.

That doesn't make him a poor coach. To the contrary.

He took teams to the Super Bowl with basically a one-trick pony of an offense (Elway). If he had a great running back to go along with Elway, the story might have been different.

But there's no denying that each of those years, he had the best team in the AFC.
