All Time NFL Ranks for QB
NFL Wins - #1 at retirement and currently #7
Playoff Wins - #2 at retirement and currently #6
Passing Yards - #2 at retirement and currently #14
Passing TDs - #3 at retirement and currently #14
The game changes all the time and he finished Top 3 in those four major categories. In the 25 years since he Elway retired, the rules have become very friendly to the passing game and how defenses play, but his body of work holds well.
Slice up history however you like, I’m at peace where I believe he ranks.

Rank him wherever you want, but using longevity stats as the basis of the argument is goofy. Playing more games doesn't make you the more talented/productive player.
