I stated this a few weeks ago, you just cannot compare eras in the NFL. The 70s and 90s and no are just so very different. At the time of Elway's retirement, he was in the top spot or top 3 of most every single metric that mattered.

Since then, the top dozen spots are filled with guys drafted after 1999 with a Marino, Tarkenton, Elway sprinkled around. It's a completely different game.

And, the SBs... suggesting it was 'just Davis' is weak. Dan Reeves fell apart in the big games with his planning, just go look at the SBs. Shanahan came in and put a real team in place, yes Davis was a huge part, but it was not just him.

Plus, you gotta figure in the gifting from the NFL... cap cheating, vaseline... likely some bribery in there, maybe some extortion. Yeah?

Right? Elway played in a time where they used to penalize crowds for making noise. Comparing him to todays QB’s is a joke. These guys would eat him alive athletically today. He’d be a poor man’s Alex Smith in todays league with his skill sets.
