Arm like a cannon and a heart bigger than aspen. A true leader

Best I ever seen play the game. He was a great, elite QB on average teams for 13 seasons. He didn't get his first elite team till his 14th season and he played 16

Elway looks like one of those college jocks you see in movies like 'Animal House'.

I am Marino´s fan...but John Elway is the #1.....he in the 80´s had a normal team ..NEVERTHELESS he took them to 3 superbowls......they lost because they were a normal team...but Elway was extraordinary...when he got a good team , he won 2 superbowls.....DONT SAY NOTHING ABOUT MONTANA...HE GOT A SUPER TEAM....J. RICE, CRAIGHT, LOT, ETC,,,,,MONTANA WAS A GOOD QUARTERBACKS WITH A PERFECT TEAM...ELWAYS A SUPER STAR WITH A NORMAL TEAM IN 80´S.....

For years ita was not the Denver Broncos, they were the Elway Broncos....he had no supporting cast for years and still he reached the SuperBowl and got lots of great wins. As a QB easily a top 5 Ever.

People seem to forget that it takes a good team to win a SB, not just a QB alone. If Elway wasn't on those early Denver teams they would have been in the bottom 5 teams each year. He had an inept coach and below average players surround him because at that time the only way you were going to be good is if you were a big market team that had money to keep players around. Thats why there were only a handful of teams during that era the were really good and won numerous SBs. Very deserving of the #2 spot.

If you ever look at opposing QB'S face if Elway had the ball late In the 4th Quarter, just scared as hell... he gave defensive coordinators nightmares 7 days a week...

My fav QB of all time, and if he had played in this era with his 90s Broncos, they would have won many superbowls. He would have shattered many records.

Amazing video like always

Ppl forget....thay Elway was in an outmoded offensive system those three trips in the 80s.....

I remember watching that helicopter run in the SB. When I saw it, I knew Broncos were going to win. He didn’t have to take that kind of risk for that play alone. But it was the kind of display that worked to inspire his teammates. It was a statement.

There's a reason he has the record for 4th quarter comebacks--Dan (Super Bowl V) Reeves put him in those situations.

amazing vidio

2:50 - Very lazy of Greg Cosell to include Super Bowl XXI against the Giants among his assertion of "the three Super Bowls where John Elway did not play well." Against the vaunted NYG defense, with zero running game to speak of, John Elway put up 225 yards of offense in the first half (and these are 1986 yards, unlike the video game stats of today's game). Unfortunately for the Broncos, this only resulted in 10 points, due to a 1st & Goal at the 1 yard line that resulted in three straight run stops & a missed 19 yard FG, and another missed 34 yard FG at the half. As a result, what should have been a 20-7 (or 20-9) score ends up being 10-9. Make no mistake, the Giants were unquestionably the better team, but it would have been interesting if they were put into a position where Simms had to throw, as opposed to having both run & pass at his disposal.

Elway is the best to play! Got to see him play many times and both stadiums!

a great guy too...

Ya know it’s pretty neat for me because I didn’t grow up in the 80’s, heck, I didn’t even first get interested in football till the mid 2000’s. And then I didn’t become a diehard until the late 2000’s… And that was a time when Denver was in a down-spiral and yet I still chose them. Then after I chose them I began to learn about the team, their players, stats, how they did in recent years, and then I started looking at their history, HOF’s, big time games, Super Bowl appearances… Super Bowl WINS… And when you’re a kid and you find out that the team you picked has a QB like Elway - you can’t help it but to smile and marvel at what that man did… Sure I could have just as easily picked a team like Dallas, Pittsburg, San Fran, or Miami and then find out about all of their success through the decades. Doomsday defense, the perfect season, Joe Cool, the Terrible Towel Dynasty…. doesn’t matter - I love the History of my team and am grateful it included Players like John Elway, TD, Sharpe, Champ Bailey, and now in this past decade, Manning and DT (R.I.P).

I have a picture of elway in mid spin on the helecopter play. sandwiched between the 3 guys.

WTF? NFL FILMS? WHAT THE HELL!? ELWAY IS THE GREATEST CLUTCH QB OF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN! Come on man when u had the record for most 4th quarter comebacks, especially with the fact most of the time it was Elway carrying them , ur number one no debate

And they talk about arod they need to look at john elway throwing across his body.

John Elway Was Unstoppable

Prior to his back-to-back Super Bowl wins in '98 and '99, which teams do you guys think he could've beaten in the 3 games where he lost?

If Tom Shady had played back in the days of WR's being mauled by DB's and QB's being mauled by LB's, he wouldn't have survived his first preseason game. Tom Shady's bread and butter play is pass "interference" in the end zone and his go-to play is "roughing" the passer. If Montana or Staubach or Bradshaw or Elway or Marino or Tarkenton played today they'd be racking up 7000 yards and 70 TD's a season.

Whos the number 1#?

ROD WOODSON! He was a game changing cornerback

John should be number 1

These guys did not get Montana games i guess?

Get that 2-3 superbowl record out of here

I like how everyone thinks the Super Bowls the patriots won were all bc of Tom Brady. The patriots are the modern day Vince Lombardi lead packers but with Bill leading the patriots. Bart Starr was a good quarterback but the championship wins were bc of Lombardi just like the Super Bowl wins for the patriots are bc of Bill and company

Yeah he'd bettter be up higher than Brady.

People forget how ridiculous John Elway was. He had no squad until Shanahan and TD showed up. It reminds me of Aaron Rodgers now. It takes a TEAM to win a SuperBowl.

Who’s on top of him?

Only QB to take two head coaches to two or more Super Bowls.

Johnny was the GReatest............ PERIOD.............

Elway reminds me of Stafford

elways way more clutch then joe montana

They put Montana above Elway as "number one clutch QB". Whatever.

The best player iin the history of NFL football! Peace to the Galaxies!

"He did what he did, but then you wonder, well, why'd they get behind?" LOL.

Pat Bowlen 1:40 ...nice Fuckin jacket!

Back when qbs didn’t shotgun

This is an old video they made this When elway had the record of most 4th Qtr Comebacks

At number two? who was drunk when they made this list?

If you're gonna use the "record" for most 4th quarter come backs as legit, then throw Peyton Manning on this list because he has 45, ten or so more than any other top QB in the league right now. I'm a fan of Manning, but not very clutch.

aaron should be one...I guess I am a pack fan so I am a little bias but still

this is BS. Elway is the number one by far!!

Why isn't Aaron Rodgers in this? I didn't think he would be better than Elway, but I certainly thought Rodgers would be in the top 5.

Everybody loves to hate on John.

Matt Stafford will be number one and what about Big Ben?

Im sorry Davis but Tom Brady has the most 4th quarter comebacks

Bogus. He is #1.

Where the fuck is Eli

John Elway should've been #1. All these nonsense about him needing Terrell Davis so what? Montana had Jerry Rice everybody needed help.

No Peyton Manning, the most 4th quarter comebacks in NFL history and he isn't even on the list????

When I was a kid elway at #1 no doubt. Now it's Brady. Sheesh!

John Elway has already done all the things people are drooling about Rodgers doing. How quickly people forget. Elway was more athletic than Rodgers and a superior decision maker. If Rodgers gets 5 SB appearances and 2 SB wins by age 38 then we can start to compare him to John Elway. When you consider everything that goes into success as a QB though John Elway is a top 3 QB. Can even see a case for him as top 2.

Best ever. If you really think Montana was better go rewatch the AFC championship Chiefs against the Bills. The dude took a hit from Bruce Smith and sat on the bench the rest of the game cuz he was too scared to go back in. You think Elway would have done that?? Hell no.. he would have put it all on the field to get to the super bowl.

Who’s 1? Jesus?

Any guy that gets whipped by Joe Montana in the super bowl shouldn’t be in the top ten period!

Terry not a top 3 with 4-0

He Was Groomed From A Young Age 2 B A Quarterback !!, His Pop Was A Coach & Wherever They Moved To Live When Young, The School"s He Went To, His Pop Spoke To Head Football Coach About The Offense !!!!

Peyton Manning has the record for 4th quarter comebacks and game winning drives I believe. He's no where on this list??

In reality Marino has more comebacks than Elway.

How Elway #2 the Byner Fumble wasn't him being clutch.

Sfv

Why can't Helen Keller drive a car? Because she's a woman

Didn't he lose 2 or 3 Super Bowls how is that clutch?

Montana #1

1st

When you lose 3 Super Bowls by WIIIIDE margins but you make it over Brady, who only lost two by a combined 7 points

Brady can't carry a team like Elway? Those 80s teams Elway got to SB has no business in the playoffs, never mind the super bowl. Brady does look good tho when his coach is telling him what blitz is coming. CHEATRIOTS!!!!

We all know Joe Montana is #1

John was not clutch at all dude got his ass whipped at the Super Bowl

clutch??? 3 blowout Super Bowl losses and 13-8 playoff record. Enough said.

I love John Elway buy there is no way he is ahead of Joe Montana, the 49ers killed him and the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

Well elway did not show up when it counted most against the 49ers in the superbowl 55 to 10 loss ouch!!!!!! He was a complete disaster and embarrassment!

BRADY IS BETTER, THIS GUYS IS A CHOKER
