A lot of people forget that horseface Elway actually played a terrible game against us in the 97-98 playoffs. Why do they forget it? Because on the only drive they were down against the Chiefs, Elway hit a clutch 43 yard catch and run to ****ing Ed McCaffery against Gunther's blitz that iced the game for Denver.
Sometimes, you just need a QB who can make the throws to win you the game. We do not have one other QB in the last decades before Patrick who could hit those. Not one. Bono (95), Gannon (95), Grbac (97), Green (05), and Alex (13, 16, and 17) all had the chance to make heroic 4th quarter drives in the playoffs to win us those do or die games. Not a single one could make the throws they needed to in the clutch to lead us to win.
We finally have a QB who not only can, but did to win us our first Super Bowl in 50 years -- and I'm sorry, but if anyone still thinks after that that Patrick doesn't know how to play QB -- they need to take a long look at their fan card and re-watch our 95, 97, 06, 2010, 2015, 2016 and 2017 playoff loses as a long, deep meditation and punishment for forgetting what Patrick has delivered to our franchise.
We finally have a QB who can take us to the top -- and it's still an amazing feeling.

I miss watching this Patrick.
These last few seasons made me feel like a little kid again watching him do the things he did. I definitely took for granted the fact that we saw him make these kinds of plays 10 times a game.
While it's a little sad that we're getting this excited over seeing him do once what he used to regularly, it never gets old or any less exciting seeing him make these kind of plays that only he can.
Hopefully he can get himself back on track soon and get back to being the caliber of player that we know he is.
