Every year I’d watch the NFL draft hoping Denver would actually pick some offensive skill position players in early rounds. They steadfastly refused to do it. The clincher was when Dan Reeves picked Tommy Maddox in the first round. He was thinking Elway was getting older wanted to have his replacement.(Elway played 7 more seasons. Maddox played two years at Denver. Started 4 games in 92 when Elwaybwas hurt. Lost all 4) There was a speedy wide receiver from Tennessee who people thought Denver would take. I can’t remember if it was Carl Pickens or AnthonybMilller (who ended up later with Den). Shanahan came and they put some talent around him. Otherwise a Elway would be rembered as the guy that couldn’t win the big one. Never mind that those three teams were, except for Elway were fairly meciocre. Or as John Madden said - the closest to a one man team he had seen.
Always wondered what Elway would have done with the Niners and Walsh.
Yes, he was very close to being Dan Marino.

When all is said and done, Mahomes may turn out to be the best ever.
