I disagree True. I am a real fan of pro-football and I dont respect him one bit. Calling him a legend is also far fetched. My comments were as a true chiefs fan. I respect Joe Montana, Dan Marinio, Rich Gannon, Jim Plunkett, Drew Brees, Jim Kelly. They had and have the true additude of legendary quarterbacks. There are few more I could add to this list but you get the drift. I would like to have a qb that could do that True but not Elway.

Like the Donkeys or not any real fan of Professional Football has to respect the play of John Elway. He not only was a great player he is a legend of the game. And if you are a Chiefs fan that hated him and was glad to see him retire, then that is proof enough of his abilities.

How many of us (Chiefs Fans) would love to see our team with a QB that could pull games out the way he could. It would sure keep us in our seats longer. I for one would love to have a QB that when starting a drive on our own 15 yd line with 56 seconds to go and down by 2 gave the fans confidence in a win.

I never had any problems with Elway other than the fact that he crushed the Chiefs a few times. The Broncos of that era that really irked me were Sharpe and Romanowski. What a couple of @$$holes!

Nice comment about Elway. I still think he wasn’t a great quarterback. I will never ever give him a compliment. I don’t hate anyone. However, I will come close and say that he was absolutely worthless. Just like every donk,dolt and the new faiders. Just fyi i liked the Raiders of the 80’s.

“being young” is the same excuse for failure. Many NFL team miss young and veteran (not necessarily old). The chiefs went young only.

John Elway developed into a HOF QB. It took him years, while Thigpen made huge strides in one year. Makes me worry if Tyler is the real deal or just better than his teammates? Next year will tell a lot. Will he be the starting QB in 2009 or will herm’s conservative nature go for a more conventional QB?

We have to finish this season (or are we already finished?). Then 2009 will show if the rebuild of clark and herm is for real or a mirage. Then 2010 will be the year for challenging in the West. I am not saying the future looks bright but that the future will tell the tale of clark and company.

I seem to recall a guy…Elway, I think his name was…that had a little something to do with Denver’s dominance at home during many of those years.

I always hated that John Elway, and the way he always seemed to find a way to beat the Chiefs. Looking back, though…my God what a great Quarterback he was. It was a privilege to see him play.

Interesting that ‘getting old’ is the excuse for everything when ‘being young’ like the 2008 chiefs doesnt guarantee success either.

In their win over New Orleans, Tampa’s leading rushers were 33-year old Warrick Dunn and 39-year old Jeff Garcia; among its leading tacklers were 33-year old Ronde Barber and 35-year old Derrick Brooks. I guess you can win with old guys, who knew?

Age can make a diffrence with injuries (refrence Surtain and Edwards) but overall, it is the quality of players and coaching than it is about the age. Thats just an excuse.
