Elway tore the hearts out of Patriots fans many, many times. I know there is a knock on him for not being clutch because of the Super Bowl losses, but those Denver teams were not at all close to the best in the NFC at that point in time. He willed those teams to get as far as they did.Not a dig, NoT trying to diminish the player - actually curious about how people on here feel : How would Elway perform in today's NFL ? Do we think he'd be better /worse / same as he was in his era ?
The comebacks were not just limited to the two playoff games against the Browns either. You simply never assumed that Denver was going to lose as long as Elway was the quarterback.
I am sure Elway would flourish in today's NFL if he could be transported through time and play now. Aside from having a strong and accurate arm - and having great mobility - Elway seemed to really excel with the mental aspect of the game too.
