2-3 overall in SBs
Just outside the top 10 in INTs.
Was the most sacked QB all-time
The last 25 years has seen a lot of change with the passing rules and style of play.
I'm not here to stop the piling on, please have fun with it... just saying that at the time he retired, he was at the top of the most significant categories and a few of the not so great. It happens.
Biggest change for Elway was moving on from Reeves and ultimately getting Shanahan.

Come on, man. Longevity stats don’t mean much, good or bad. Do you think Eli Manning was better than Mahomes?
Do you at least agree that the “Reeves didn’t throw” narrative is way overblown? Elway was often top 5ish in pass attempts under him.
