What? That's ridiculous. John Elway was considered an all timer long before he won those two Superbowls. They added to his resume of course, but much like his contemporary Marino, everyone already knew they were all time great quarterbacks whether they won the title or not. To say that was the "sole" reason is absurd.

he's a white donovan mcnabb that won super bowls.

Hate to break this to you PEEJ but ring amount isn't the primary determinant on who's a better QB, stats are relevant too and Young DID win a Super Bowl and its MVP.

Thanks cpt. Obvious

Elway carried three Denver teams to Super Bowls before TD came along.

Using this same dumb logic Drew Brees sole reason to winning a super bowl let alone playoff game is having a great OL and a defense that ranks top 5 in the league in turnovers. Empty stats yo

I remember the 1993 NFC Champ game. Cowboys were stacked but so were the Niners - the 1992 Niners had home field advantagel 14-2.

Aikman and Young had almost identical games and numbers (I mean total yards was 415 to 416)...except one difference.

Young had two picks; Aikman had zero.

That was the difference in the game.

Ppl act like Young carried the flame of a dying franchise...from 1992-1998 he had some stacked teams...and could only get out of the shadow of the Boys and Pack but 1 time.
