He may have had elite ability, but all that matters is how he produced on average. And he didn’t produce like a top 10 all-time QB. Definitely not top 5.
What do we always hear about Elway? “He’d do nothing until the last drive and then he’d tear your heart out!” Well, believe it or not, there have been QBs that actually play complete games. And perform far better on the big stage.

They didn't throw as much back then as they do today. Dan Reeves' is offenses through the '80s and early '90s were run on first down run on second down Elway bail us out. Elway did all the stuff that mahomes does. Fourth quarter heroics left-handed passes all that stuff. Elway is one of the top five qbs of all time. Patrick mahomes reminds me a lot of Elway. And Patrick mahomes is close to John Elway or Joe Montana that you'll get to in today's league
