That is the point. Elway was dealt the best hand when Manning was available. Can you remember a HOF caliber QB that was available in free agency? The last example of that that I can think of was when we got Joe Montana 20 years earlier. It's incredibly rare.
When Manning retires, he's on a level playing field like the rest of the league and will have to either draft one (these QB's are extremely rare), trade for some mid level player like Alex (because franchise QB's are very rarely or available) or roll with Assweiler.
We will find out how good Elway is after Manning is gone.
