IMO he didn't "will" anything or he could have or would have done it without the donkos cheating, which he never did.

The Broncos didn't "cheat" in the 80's, when Elway steered them to three Super Bowls. Some of you people are absolutely incapable of rational thought. |

Don't kid yourself. Rodgers had the #2 scoring defense the year he won it all. They haven't been anywhere close since, and they haven't been back to the Super Bowl since.
Roethlisberger's three Super Bowl teams were ranked 3rd, 1st & 1st defensively. The two best recent examples of a poor defense were winning the 06 Colts, who flipped a switch and played great defense in the playoffs, allowing 16.3 ppg and forcing 13 TO in four games. And, the 09 Saints with Brees... who weren't highly rated, but were 2nd in forcing turnovers. They allowed about 19 ppg with 8 TO in 3 games while winning the Super Bowl. |

I'd agree though, I think Elway is one of the few, if not the only QB, to drag a team to the Super Bowl. And even he didn't win. It's the biggest myth on this board that QB is the only thing that matters. Most of these teams have great QBs who make the big plays when when they matter, and they deserve all the glory. But they aren't forced to try and overcome 30-40 point defensive performances like the Chiefs are prone to do.
Or in Trent Green's case, win a game where the defense does not force a punt. They could've played 16 quarters that day and Manning would still be marching up and down the field. Hard to top that. |

If Elway had been the 49er's QB in the 80's and 90's, they'd have won 8 Super Bowls, maybe more. |

Teams and players cheated far more pre-2000 than today.
From spray glue to stickum to steroids to taping signals to team doctors prescribing narcotics and so on. "Cheating" didn't become a serious issue until the NFL signed a $9 Billion dollar TV contract. |

Especially if you wanna keep your home grown talent. Jaye Howard, one of Jeff Allen/Donald Stephenson (I think 1 of them will play well this year), DJ, Eric Berry. Then you have Kelce and Davis entering contract years in 2016. Use the money to keep our own like successful franchises like GB.
