John Elway was...

[Jangler]

Revisionist history + lack of reading comprehension = fail.

Nowhere in this thread did I see anyone state "Jake is just as talented as Elway."

Who would have been the Buffalo Bills of quarterbacks if he hadn't won two superbowls at the end of his career.

Not to mention he was one of the "best" quarterbacks ever but still couldn't win the big one without a strong defense and a great running game.

I know two ways you can compare Jake to Elway. They are both amazing comeback quarterbacks that run the two minute drill as well as anyone has in the NFL.

And when you gameplan around them, they tend to fall apart. Neither seems to want to be in the game until the final two minutes and down by 6 points.

But Jake isn't Elway, and will never be Elway. The Broncos got to the Superbowl early on by virtue of Elway, something the Panthers will never do with Jake Delhomme. Jake alone won't get us into the playoffs the way Elway did with the Broncos.

But to say you can't compare the two, or you shouldn't, that's just plain willful ignorance.

Not to mention Jangler just compared their ages. You can't even compare the relevance of the aging process between the two?

Elway wasn't a god, and if he hadn't won those two Superbowls, he would be as big of a disappointment as Marino, who was a real quarterback.

rep to you (when I get some back:)) Elway was older. I was just trying get people to lay off a little, but I know it won't work.....I don't know what I was thinking. I might have been a little buzzed on the coffee.
