I get it. you guys don't like Elway cuz he spent the better part of 16 years ripping your heart out and knocked you out of the playoffs in your home stadium.

Should we list all the QBs that beat Elway in the playoffs? Casual fans probably haven’t even heard of half of them.
Like somebody said, 17-12 isn’t that lopsided, and KC was about .500 against him in the 90s after they became competent. Not sure why anyone’s heart would be ripped out by the losses in the 80s. Oh no, we would've finished 5-11 if not for that bastard Elway!!
Some fans might have bitterness toward Elway for the '97 playoff game, because that was a really good KC team. But personally, my anger was directed toward Schottenheimer for starting Grbac, or the greased Olinemen, rather than the guy who led his team to 14 points.
What exactly has you convinced that Elway was better than Unitas and Graham? Do you automatically disqualify anyone who played before the 80s? Those guys absolutely dominated their eras. Unitas threw 32 TDs in 1959. 5 more than Elway's best season and he played 4 fewer games. He was also a 3x MVP and runner-up a few more times. 2 NFL championships and a SB win (his prime years were before the SB era). There's really no argument that Elway was more dominant in his era than Unitas or Graham. They were both clearly the top QB of their eras. Elway never was.
