Elway's early year stats were mostly due to Dan Reeves lack of offensive strategy. Reeves said many times his entire game plan was to play it conservative for 3 quarters and let John win it in the 4th. His stats also don't account for how many drives he kept alive with his legs. Dude was money when the game was on the line.

Elway also proved he was talented enough to play in different systems and on a talentless team. He would have been unreal on the 49ers, while Montana, who was a product of Bill Walsh's system, whwouldn't have ever been the Joe we know with the Broncos.

Your first paragraph stated otherwise. Statistically he was absolutely terrible. That’s a fact.
