But I think we can agree that, when Denver has had a QB at least as good as Elway, the NFL has gifted Denver with at least an appearance in the SB at a rate of every three to four years. Right?

No, you are simply dealing with your own self-delusion.
And where are you getting this "an appearance in the SB at a rate of every three to four years" from. No such thing ever happened.
They appeared (legitimately) in 3 of 4 years from 1986 -- 1989. They got gifted their appearances in 1997, 1998, 2013, and 2015. That ISN'T every 3 to 4 years as you falsely project.
And let's just see in depth how good your boy Elway really was:
It CAN be unfair to compare QBs from different eras. So this post will be an attempt to compare Elway to his own peers. During John Elway's career (1983 to 1998), there were 19 QBs who started 100+ games. Here is where Elway ranks in major statistical categories:
Completion%: 16th
TD%: 13th
INT%: 10th
Passer Rating: 14th
Yards per Attempt: 10th
Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt: 11th
So if you believe (like many do), that John Elway is one of the top 10 QBs of all time, why wasn't he even statistically a top 10 QB in his own era?
And why is it never mentioned by Donktards that of all the QB's that started multiple SB's, that Elway STUNK UP THE FIELD worse than any of them? Could it be that Donktards like you have their heads so far up Elway's arse that every time Elway farts, Donktards like you probably literally get their shoes blown off their feet?
