John Elway's 16 game averages under Dan Reeves:

54.7 Comp %, 482 Att, 3357 Yds, 17.55 TDs, 17.44 INTs, 7.0 YPA, 73.8 Passer Rating

Now let's look at 1981 Broncos. 38 Year old Craig Morton playing under Dan Reeves:

59.8 Comp %, 376 att, 3195 Yds, 21 TDs, 14 INTs, 8.5 YPA, 90.5 Passer Rating

Now let's do one more, let's look at the Dan Reeves system in Atlanta:
The 16 Game Average of QB Chris Chandler from 1997-2001:

58.7 Comp %/ 393 Att/3121 Yds/20.47 TDs/13.17 INTs/7.9 YPA/87.4 Passer Rating

Yea... further digging is showing Elway is more overrated than I was even perceiving. Literally when you control for coach he is worse than legendary two time pro bowler Chris Chandler.

I mean, I know Chris Chandler and Craig Morton under the same coach is a pretty high bar for Elway to meet, but...
