Elway was overrated right?
- Thread starter Trip
- Start date
Stephen a and skip have him in their top 5's(both 3)
Cowboys, Giants, 9ers, Skins. Whoever won that game was winning the SB. Always feared the championship games more than the SBs. SMH @ making it to the SB and expecting a win cuz the AFC teams couldn't hang.
AFC teams used to be automatic Ls in the SB back in the 80s & 90s.
Elway was like Cutler with 2 rings. Folk were on this dude's dikk just off his big arm. Then all these 4th quarter comebacks and blah blah blah. Dude been riding the hype machine from time. Was a disappointment until he got those 2 rings and all those disappointing seasons were forgotten. Now folk got him above Marino, Young, etc?
I'm exagerating a bit about the Cutler thing but just showing how people fall in love with big arms.
TD's run in the 97 playoffs
Losing to the Jaguars at home in 96

Brunell was styling on the broncos that game.

Man whats real crazy is when you look at how badly they lost the Superbowls
Giants 39 Broncos 20 
Redskins 42 broncos 10 
San Fran 55 broncos 10 
Then the Broncos ran for 300 yds against them the next year and demolished em..Brunell was styling on the broncos that game.
Okay? Like I give a fukk about the following year. Brunell styled on the better team that game, in which Broncos and Elway suppose to win.
To me he's overrated by those that put him in GOAT contention....I'd say he's top 10 but on the outside of the top 5. There's no doubt he had a lot of sub par seasons that never get mentioned anymore. If Elway's stats were good for the era he played in what does it say about Marino being able to put up 48 and 44 td seasons in the same era? Yea stats can be overrated at times but they can also be underrated or glossed over...hell where would Elway be without the drive and his helicopter flip which is all you see whenever he's brought up? Its like Joe Namath and his guarantee. Make a few iconic plays and you're automatically a legend. I ain't saying Elway's that low but anyone calling him the GOAT can 
Broncos took that L and responded with 2 straight SB titles which is a dynasty in the NFL..
Brunell and the Jags are a footnote in history..
Beat it..

Marino Stans still salty he got his ass handed to him in the playoffs by Elway 38-3. I was at that game BTW.
All the "great for the era" talk does is make you realize that Elway was never in the upper echelon of QBs
