If Elway had Shanahan as coach for most of his career, there would be no doubt or question about it. Consider the players surrounding him. No Thurmon Thomas or TD during most of those years. If he had played in bigger cities, such as in NY or LA, there would be no doubt or any question he is top dog. Just look at the rb's surrounding those other "greatest" ones. If any one of them were playing with Elway, then there would be no doubt. The thought is a bit scarry. Wonder how many superbowl rings Elway would have now? Those sports writers who belittle Elway are most likely from big cities where Elway had consistently beaten their home teams. Considering Elway played for a "cowtown" team, it is no wonder there are so much sour grapes. Twenty years from now, we all will realize that he is the greatest. I can guarantee there will be no one who can throw like he did, for so many years. I realized it ten years ago.

So many coaches are glad Elway retired. Actually Elway is much more dangerous now than ever before. With the supporting cast he had in last few years, he has become magician. Ask defensive players and coaches. Forget those sports writers. Ask SD Seau or KC/Clev Marty.
