I don’t think it makes sense saying a player in basketball can control so much more of the game then a quarterback… because that also works inversely. Yeah the best player can affect the game more but the worst players on your team also affect the game more than in football.

[@chrislittle200]

@Ray Donovn exactly. Tom Brady can manipulate his teams TOP by playing well and keeping the ball. And there’s not one offensive possession where he doesn’t touch the ball or make the decision of where to go with it. A basketball player is timed, 24 seconds. They can’t manipulate TOP. And the entire game other ppl will be making offensive decisions whether he runs point or not. They’ll decide to shoot, pass or dribble. And Bball players play maybe 38-40 mins a in the playoffs and using LeBron as an example his team normally gets outscored that entire time he’s sitting.

[@francescosmith7859]

It's so hard to compare QBs of different eras but I have to admit I've never really understood the Elway love. I know he's been to 5 Super Bowls (and was awful in 3 of them okay in the other 2) and I know QB stats from the 80s can't be compared to today but even comparing him to the other guys in the 80s and 90s and he doesn't look very good. Lots of interceptions, not really a lot of touchdowns, , not a high completion percentage, decent running stats but nothing special. I must be missing something. He won an MVP in 87 and looking at the results and both Jerry Rice and Montana should have run laps around him. Maybe some of you can help me out with some extra context that I'm clearly missing.

[@WadesWorldd]

You're also forgetting to mention the glaring facts that QBs were not protected back then. They would get their caps knocked off just like any other player. Defense back in those days were much better and more intense as they were allowed to do so much more. They could actually touch the player without a flag being called. Today's game is completely different. Today's game is an offensive league. Please go watch NFL films, and you will see what real football was and what it isn't today. Those guys were actual gladiators, and it was much harder to be a great QB back then.

@@WadesWorldd I get that so I'm not comparing Elway's numbers to Mahomes or Manning but comparing Elway to Montana or Marino or Boomer Esiason or even Randall Cunningham and all of those guys look like they have much better numbers.

[@777zippy777]

The thing with Elway is that he was saddled with the wrong head coach for his first decade in the NFL. Dan "3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust" Reeves had no clue how to design an offense to Elway's strengths. Elway's talent was wasted on Reeves. There's a reason why Bill Walsh wanted to trade Montana in early 1983 for the rights to draft Elway. That's not a typo either, you can look that fact up. Now imagine Elway on the 1983-89 49ers... holy shitballs..... that would've been INSANE. Also, Elway literally dragged the 1986, 1987 and 1989 Broncos to super bowls. Then he got stomped because the NFC in the '80s was a MONSTER. The '86 Giants were ridiculous (Parcells, Belichick, L.T. and that defense... forget about it). The '89 49ers were even MORE insane. Like every HOF QB, Elway just needed some help to win a SB or two. And he finally got it in the mid '90s.

[@francescosmith7859]

@@zeusonolympus123 Thank you. That makes sense. I know that was the strike year so numbers were lower but to also get the context of single handedly leading a team to the super bowl and the numbers are almost secondary at that point. Also the reminder of how big he was comparatively at that time also helps. Thanks again.

[@broncosbest6441]

Ask the defenders of the time who they feared the most. The other quarterbacks in the 80s such as Montana had a vastly superior team around them. Elway was the offence until the 90s continually making something with a whole lot less. That was one of the better rankings of quarterbacks I’ve seen for a while although I disagree somewhat with the peyton manning ranking he should be in the next tier down.

Not exactly. Going 6-6 in the SB/Finals/WS over a career would be more impressive than going 6-0, because going to fewer championships means you lost earlier in the playoffs more often.

[@maxadjusting3917]

Gotta calm down a bit. You can compare Mahomes and Brady to each other in years they both played, but it's really hard to compare QBs from different generations. Brady began in an era where a 1.5:1 TD/INT ratio and 3,000 passing yards was a solid year, whereas now that's not even a good year for a rookie. You especially can't make the argument that Mahomes is anywhere near Montana yet...if you are going to compare these guys, you first have to look at their peers. How much better was Montana than the other elite QBs at the times vs how much better is Mahomes vs his current peers (which he is clearly the best atm)...It's this prisoner of the moment mindset that has left guys like Dan Marino in the dust for best regular season QB. People seem to forget that he was putting up stats that nearly DOUBLED other starters numbers - that would be the equivalent to Mahomes throwing for 7,500 yrds and 65+ tds.
