Kelly went to 4 straight Superbowls and lost all 4. I'll give him a mulligan for the 2 against the Boys because they were a dynasty but the other 2 he lost to back up QB's. Hostetler was third round pick and Rypien was drafted in the 6th round. Rypien was a third stringer the year before and those Bills teams were stacked. Kelley played with 4 Hall of Famers, 2 wide receivers and one running back and a Hall of Fame coach no excuses for him. Not to mention a few Pro Bowlers too. Elway was better. Use the Terrell Davis excuse all you want but Kelly player most of his career with Thurman Thomas who was better.

I remember the TD/INT splits being practically identical for 10 years.

Buffalo weather was MUCH HARSHER than Denver’s. And you don’t lose to qbs in a super bowl...you lose to teams. Did you watch Super Bowl 25? The Giants played keep away with the ball to keep the ball from Kelly. Did you not see the time of possession for that game. Andre Reed has the yips that game as well. You didn’t watch that game saying “KeLLy lOSt tO HoSTEtLEr” who wasn’t even the MVP of that game. It was old man Otis Anderson.
Watch games, not final scores.

terrel davis hold the NFL record of rushing for 100 yards in 7 straight playoff games. Using him and his productivity is NOT an EXCUSE. Dan Marino played 35 playoff games without a SINGLE 100 yard rusher to hand the ball off to. fukk outta here saying bringing up TD is an excuse. It’s the only reason why Elway got his rings

Just looking at his stats He is overrated I wasn’t around to watch the games in real-time but I’ve see highlights and some old recorded games 
Looks like when he got a run game and a good defense he was able to put it all together hall of fame with 2 rings on his resume

I think Aikman was held back from having greater numbers. Emmitt was the FIRST player to lead the league in rushing and win a ring. Prior to him, it was deemed impossible for teams to win in that manner. Aikman numbers were sacrificed as a result....and rightfully so..what the Boys did worked.

Watching them play, u can plug any decent QB back there and win. Aikman wasnt ask to do much with the line, RB and weapons he had. But i remember clearly in the 90's when he was winning rings, everyone was trying to proclaim him #1 when better QB's were still playing.
I think thats when the whole "X amount of rings make u the best QB" shyt started.

I don’t know about .that. Aikman skinny post to Irvin...those throws were
he was so accurate man. He made a bum like Alvin Harper look like a scary receiver because he was so accurate on deep throws. LOL at Alvin talking shyt, then going to Tampa and turning to shyt.

Alvin Harper was averaging 24.5 yds a reception with Aikman. His career post Aikman...
Aikman deep passes were godly man.

Without Terrell Davis, Elway doesn't win any of those SBs.
But i'm not even looking at SB performances to gauge who was a better QB. Jim Kelly was just a better QB imo. He played it better. Elway was a better scrambler/runner and had a stronger arm but as far as diagnosing defenses, and making accurate throws, Kelly was superior. Elway is overrated in how people view him today vs what he actually did when he played. He should not be in anyone's top 5 list. Maybe not even top 10.
Elway is Donovan McNabb with white privilege.

That’s not true. In fact Rypien made the pro bowl in 1989 — as an injury replacement, but still.
And the ‘91 Slurs team was probably the best team of all time.
