Meh..none of the others have multiple suspensions, fines and docked draft picks except for Elway. That, alone, excludes him from the conversation.
He's been awarded games he's lost for years...there are too many to count. He is an invention of the Kraft/Goodell marriage and the advertising contract. He's a great QB...but his legacy definitely comes with an asterisk.
He's had one controversial officiated game in his entire career... that didn't work in his favor. He had 5 in 2017, alone, that benefited him...
NFL has seen to it that he is the face of the League...and it's gotten to the point of being overtly absurd. Last years SB was the lowest rated in a decade...they went to the well one too many times. Nobody is buying it anymore..
It's kind of a shame as I've seen him make some great, clutch throws...only to have the validity wiped away 3 minutes later when the other team is getting screwed over. It's impossible to gauge how good he really is when the NFL repeatedly hands him wins he shouldn't have....especially in big games.
