Well, it should be easy to just rattle off 7-8 based on your comment, yeah?
Looking at the 80s/90s - you have a lot to choose from: Fouts, Cunningham, Boomer, Ken Anderson, Simms, Theismann, Plunkett, Marino, Montana, Bledsoe, Moon, Kelly, Young, Aikman

Is Steve Young a peer because he was better too.

? Not sure what you are talking about? I said he wasn't the best of his era and you asked me who was better and I said Montana and Marino and now you are talking about rattling off 7-8? Where did that come from?

In most rankings, Elway sits behind Montana and Marino as it is, so I figured those two were obvious. Keep in mind, never have I ever ranked him #1 all-time, just to be clear. I think most lists (and there are so many) have him in the 5-10 range all-time. Just saw one that had him 8 and Mahomes 7. Suggesting he wasn't considered among the best of his era is kinda silly though.

Phil Simms and Dave Krieg also have a case. (Better rating)

Yeah, Wazu... I think you typically only see Moon from those names listed in the top 8-12 depending on the source. The others, not so much.

I would agree. Kinda stunning though when you look at stats comparisons. People didn't do that as much back in the day because they really couldn't. If they could have I think perception of Elway vs his peers would be different.

If you only looked at stats, possibly... if you watched those QBs play, no.

I don't think you should "only" do either. I watched those QBs play and would not have imagined that many/most had better passing stats than John Elway. And I would have picked Elway over someone like Krieg in a heartbeat. But stats do tell a story, and the gap between Elway and some of those QBs probably was exaggerated in the minds of NFL viewers.

I don't compare Elway's numbers to today's QBs. I only compare to his era. His numbers and accomplishments were solid. I just don't think they were "top 5 all time" solid. |
