I agree.
Most people talk about Jim Kelly w reverence, he lost MORE SBs in the '80s than Elway and never won one
Elway was better than Favre. In fact, if you read down the prioritized list of DeadRinger's Most Important NFL QB Attributes (yes, that's right. The famous DRMINFLQBA, I'm sure you've all read RotoWorld's article about it), Elway wins the "Most Complete QB Ever" award.
Not Best QB. Most Complete. And that just goes to prove that you don't want your QB to have good rankings across all attributes, you want him to be very much top-heavy, having GREAT rankings in the top 4 or 5 most important ones. Like Brady.
And while it's debatable, it's not too difficult to make the argument that Elway is top-5 all-time. I used to have him at #3 all-time before the Brady/Manning/Brees/Rodgers era. Right now I'd say he's probably #6, but I could make the argument for that 5 spot.
Anytime you have to watch a guy like that fuck your team up year in and year out, you must respect. If you don't, you cheapen the game in general.
BETTER be a playoff win in 2022.
