    I don’t think there’s ever been the perfect QB specimen like Elway. Guy was just beyond generational, and dragged Broncos teams starting guys like Mark, Jackson, Steve Sewell and Sammy Winder to 3 Super Bowls.

    I am a big Joe Burrow fan but he dreams of having Elway’s mobility and arm talent.

    Mahomes, Allen and Herbert are the closest current comps and all three play in obviously a much different era of offensive football.

    It feels like it’s been 30 years since a QB took a 7 step drop. You aren’t allowed to touch receivers or QBs these days. Used to be you had to basically tackle a guy downfield to get flagged for pass interference.

    Sandlot football was maddengly fun to watch.

    Pretty decent chance Elway would be the first overall pick in an NFL all time re-draft.

    I don't think I could pass on him if picking first. I don't think there's a more sure thing to elevate the rest of the team if the supporting talent is less than ideal.

    There’s no doubt in my mind he’s the greatest #1 overall pick of all time. Has to be, right?

    Shooters in Rockford Bay is his hang. Wednesday or Thursday night during the summer.

    Uncle Denny also makes an appearance on occasion.

    Fun Fact: Elway was born in Port Angeles, WA.

    When UW booster Herb Mead was trying to recruit Elway, he told him "You were born in Washington! You can't go to Stanford!"

    I can't remember if this next story was in regards to Elway or Dave Wyman, but I think it was Elway. Herb Mead challenged him to a game of ping pong. If Herb won, the kid would have to go to UW.
