It was his stupidity with the offense that cost Elway some championships. Run, pass, draw play on every set of downs was pitiful, but still they (Elway mostly) would make it clear to the championship. Then came the zone blocking taking average running backs and turning them into studs that pushed them over the top.

I'll agree with you on the QB ranking. The only exception may be Manning. I'm withholding judgement on him until I see how he does with this same team we've been spending too much time discussing.

Hope I get the chance to sit down, have a few and discuss some football with you face to face some time. I think that'd be a fun time. Cheers buddy.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program...
Yeah. Had they had a better scheme, Elway would probably have 3-4 super bowls(and people would shut up about the cowboys).

Cheers. Good to know. Personally I'm not sure Manning needs to prove much cause I felt he already proved it but that's for another day.
