His career TD/INT ratio was just 1.3. That's awfully damn close to one interception for every TD and he's in the hall of fame!
I'm not going to tell you I have no respect for Elway because that would be silly. He hurt the Chiefs many times, but just as we should be realistic about Elway as a good QB, we should also be realistic about the fact that he doesn't hold a candle to the best QBs statistically.

What we’re leaving out of the context is how dangerous he was with his feet too. He would kill you scrambling. He also had 33 rushing TDs and one receiving TD. Can’t tell you how many times I swore we were gonna sack him, then poof he’s running down the field
