Thread: Elway: Peyton is two Super Bowls away from being the best ever.

Posted by Michael David Smith on August 9, 2012, 1:27 PM EDT

John Elway thinks Peyton Manning has what it takes to go down in history as the greatest quarterback in the history of football. But to accomplish that, Elway needs to put the right team around Manning.

In Elway’s opinion, if Manning were to close out his career by winning two Super Bowls as the Broncos’ quarterback — the same way Elway closed out his own Hall of Fame career — that would be enough for Manning to be considered the best ever.

“Winning championships, that’s the only way,” Elway told NFL Network’s Albert Breer. “If he wins two more championships, he’ll be, without a doubt, the greatest quarterback ever to play the game.”

I love the motivation from John. I think Peyton is ina simular situation to what John was in. If he wins two more SBs then it will be hard to argue Johns statement. He will have 3 SBs yes but he also has the records to show as well.

Elway in regards to the game tonight talking to Albert Breer:

“If things go well right off the bat, have a nice scoring drive, then get him out. You wanna get something going to where they have a good drive,” Elway said. “You don’t want to have three three-and-outs. You wanna get some confidence, get some first downs, and maybe put some points on the board. If we do that, get him out, and go to the next week.”

I believe Kliss this morning to expect 12 snaps..... as stated.. not if the first series or so is just 3 and out. But around 12 snaps is all for Manning tonight.

Hmmm, doesnt really sound like a guy who is afraid to have another "star" in Denver.

Hmmm, strange reference there, North. Care to elaborate?

gee, let's not bring up you know who anymore....

I think anyone who has paid attention to this forum the past year would know what im referencing too.

I think he needs to win 3 SB's to be the best of all time.

That will put him at 4 SB wins, out of 5 SB Trips. So a 4-1 record in the SB, with the records he has. He will be the best of all time then imo. And hopefully he can win 3 SB's in a row and be the 1st person to do that, as well as be the 1st starting QB to win a Superbowl with 2 different teams.

But, I just hope he has a great career with us, like he did in Indy.

The number of SUper Bowls is not the lone stat that determines a player's greatness. If that were the case, people would actually say Bradshaw was in the top 2. People would seriously say that Doug Williams was better than Marino, and Brad Johnson was better than Fran Tarkenton.

You missed the sarcasm. Funny how you're intentionally bringing up something/one who you bitch other people out for bringing up.

He's referring to a particular poster on the boards. North has been bitching about people bringing up this poster????

Just found it interesting, that's all. Why even reference it like that? Just baiting, IMO.

I already think he's the best QB ever.
Rodgers has a chance to surpass him though.
