Very few QBs can say they’re great at every aspect. Arm Strength, Accuracy, Athleticism, Football IQ...he’s one of those few.

It's amazing how that 1983 comeback against the Colts has slipped under the radar in NFL history. Down by 19 points with 10 minutes left against the team that you refused to play for, and you go on and lead that comeback as a rookie. Incredible stuff

[tinakover]

This is 23 and a half minutes of pure joy. It could be three times as long and it still wouldn't be long enough to show all of Elway's greatness.

I'm 40 years old and what I will always remember about Elway was his cannon! In some way, he was the precursor guy that could scramble out of the pocket and throw a 50-yard bomb on point similar to what many QB's like Mahomes or Watson are doing today.

John Elway is why I fell in love with football. He was my hero as a kid! Im still a Bronco fan and will be til I die! I cried like a chic when we finally won the superbowl. I imagine all true Elway and Bronco fans did!! I miss him and MJ so much.

"That's not an ARM, that's a GUN"... Gives me goosebumps

[omarfigueroa]

"Thats not an arm that's a gun!" Great way to describe Elway's throwing prowess.

[b.h.c.]

His throwing motion is insanely quick, I've rarely seen such a fast yet accurate motion. John Elway truly one of a kind.

[LiminalMan]

People like Pat Mahomes grew up watching this man’s highlights. Ahead of his time this man was. I got to see him crush New England in 98 as the first and only football game I went to. I’ll never forget it

[jeremydrobinson]

Coming from a Raiders fan. I'm glad I was able to watch his career. In my book, he was not just a great QB but, the most exciting QB ever.

[calvinronis]

Man I wish there was a place to go and rewatch all of these games. NFL needs to open up their video library and let us relive the history!

Lifelong Browns fans here, Elway broke our hearts so many times while growing up but I got to admit I was rooting for him when he won thoes 2 superbowls and I'm going to give credit where it's due, he was the best Q.B I ever saw and that's covering a lot of ground.

[FelipeRubio]

I remember how effortless Elway threw the football 70+ yards he was definitely a special QB to watch I’m glad at the end he was able to win 2 Super Bowls. On another note it’s pretty cool seeing him throwing TD’s to Shannon Sharpe. 😃

[GAPSYOO]

Elway is proof that even when you’re old, determination keeps you young.

[nogames]

I always carried the entire team and got to three Super Bowls, but it takes more than one player to win. Once he got some help around him and some better coaching for the entire team, then it was Super Bowl time. I'm glad he got a couple of them.

[sports]

I was really happy when he took home 2 Super Bowl titles with Terrell Davis at the tail end of his career. Truly one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time

[calebashford]

Always heard of Elway, but his ability to escape and complete passes like that has to be before it's time. We act as if elusive QB's that can pass outside of the pocket accurately is something new. Has to be the most versatile QB of all time

[uselessidguy]

It's such a different era that Elway was playing in. In the contemporary game favoring quarterbacks, he'd have a 5, 500-yard passing season, maybe multiple. In his prime, he was everything we see in Mahomes. Incomparable talent. Even at 38 in that final game, he launches a rocket 50 yards through the air on a rope to Rod Smith. Wouldn't have rather grown up in any other era of football, cheering for any other player. Broncos football will never be more exciting than it was with #7.

[barrybach]

My all-time favorite player. I was fortunate enough to attend both games @ Cincinnati that are featured in this video. 1996 & 1998.

The way the ball flies out of his hand, Favre as well, is so impressive to see.
