I'm not arguing that Elway was better, just that they mean very similar things to their fanbases.

Draft better and retain those players. How many HOF players were on those Broncos teams? Hunt had very deep pockets, but that didn’t equate to success because other teams were better at drafting/retaining players. The Broncos didn’t have to make the business decisions that teams now have to make regarding who they can/can’t retain due to a cap.
Now I do agree with their value to their respective fanbases.
