@dybeen bandwagoners? lol don't be silly. pats fans are legit. bruins fans not so much. celtics bandwagoners are falling off now though thank God. I don't appreciate being lumped in to ur category there though.
I have been a Packer fan since 1969, but seeing Elway win this game was justice. He was one of the top crunch time players in history. The Broncos game plan was perfect, wearing down the Packers D and allowing the Broncos to work the clock. A classic game and a well deserved victory for the Broncos.
@JBDVProduction Tom Brady didn't get touched. And like you said he was on the goal line. I don't see how these plays have anything in common. Tom Brady would have never made this play, and if he did Roger Goodell would have called in the 15 yard penalty for making contact with him.
@jc0lm4n First off, he did get pummeled in the lower back by a helmet-first Ray Lewis hit. Watch the clip if you don't believe me. And that is besides the point, because it took mega balls to make that dive. Without Brady, the pats are nothing.
And I'm not taking anything away from Elway or trying to say it was a ballsier play. I'm just responding to all the Patriots-bashing on this thread.
@JBDVProduction its funny cuz im not a ravens fan u dip shit and so wat? i would LOVE to see him do it not even at his own goaline and jump n get smacked between 2 defenders! but tom brady wont cuz hes a little bitch he has no balls to do that he dove in front of ray lewis so wat? it was at the goaline do it when hes at like the 40 yard line haha nope u fuckin front runner
@Naruto4289 u don't make any sense. why would he dive like that at the 40? and yeah its hard not to be a front runner when all my teams (Boston), are better than whatever teams u root for. and if you weren't such a ghetto meathead, which you clearly are, you would've realized i wasn't implying you were a ravens fan... but that Brady was spiking it in YOUR face aka the loser who hates just because he wins.
Have fun watching him raise the MVP trophy Sunday night
@JBDVProduction ghetto meathead? lmfao r u retarded i live in a much richer place were u live in.... lmfao n ur the biggest front runner im just sayin tom brady would never do that like how john elway did it but yea he did it at the ravens game but did he do it like John Elway? NO so u can stop being a front runner cuz ur making urself look like a queer and tom brady MVP trophy? HAHA u make me laugh get a fuckin better defence n come talk to him raising shit
@atiboy1 I used to really like Elway and respect him. But with his poor treatment of Tebow I have lost respect for him, and I have since gone back and looked closely at his stats, and they were NOT very good his first 10 seasons. Yes, mediocre at best his first 10 seasons. Same TDs as interceptions, and low completion %-age.
@svvmichael1 I assume you are too young to have experienced Elway's first 10 years in person. He was on a run-first offense that couldn't run the ball. He was the Broncos' talent for those first 10 years and was always about winning and not about stats. As a Tebow fan, you should appreciate that. You should also appreciate that it is under Elway's watch that Tebow is getting his chance to succeed in the NFL. Go Broncos.
@cinecitta812 This post is very innaccurate. Elway actually led the league in attempts his 3rd year. He was blessed with good RBs like Winder, Wilhite, Parros,Humphries,etc (not great but good) and he had the 3 amigos to throw to. He had no excuse for being so mediocre. But he was a good leader. I appreciated that, until he tried to hurt Tebow and even root against him. Elway didn't GIVE Tebow a chance, the fans forced him into it. Give Tebow 2 full years, Elway got 10 years.
@svvmichael1 Humphries was the only back on your list with talent. He wasn't on the team until Elway's 7th year in the league. Only one amigo, Vance Johnson, could have started in the receiving cores of other relevant teams of the era. As for Elway first 10 years, he threw for over 3,000 yards and rushed for over 200 yards in seven straight seasons (1985-91). He appeared in 4 AFC Championship games; 3 Super Bowls, 3 Pro-Bowls and was selected and League MVP once.
@cinecitta812 Winder/Wilhite/Parros/Sewell was a strong backfield. I guess you don't understand football. From 83-91 Elway had a QBrtg of 73.8 w/ an avg of 3022 yds/season and 158td/157int. His "MVP" season of '87 in bs (83rtg only 80+ rtg of first 10 years). Elway got stats from longevity only. He had a VERY good defense that took them to those playoffs. Sound familiar? Difference is Tebow will NOT take 11 years to post good numbers. Learn football before talking to adults.
@svvmichael1 Winder started a lot of games but never averaged even 4 yards per carry in a season. That's failure in the NFL. Sewell was a pass catching 3rd down specialist. He ran less than 250 times in his career. Willhite was an injury-prone fumbler. His best season he ran for just over 500 yards. Perros barely played with Elway. His best year was 233 yards. Elway's career rushing total is greater than 3 of the 4 running backs on your list. The defenses were excellent. No argument there.
@cinecitta812 Winder was a solid runner. He was usually at 3.7-4.2 ypc. That is not failure, it is very successful. John Riggins was a very successful RB at 3.5-3.8 ypc. Look at the NYG of late 80's early 90's, they got 3.2-3.5 ypc and ran it 40+/game. Sewell/Wilhite/Parros/Lang etc teamed with Winder to give Den a top 10 ground game nearly every year. Elway was rarely even in top 15, let alone top 10 QB ratings. He was mediocre at best. Live with it.
He put everything on the line after so many superbowl defeats, and it got him his first superbowl ring, i kept saying "I believe" throughout the whole game up until this play when i knew it, this was his defining moment in football, thank you John
I was 6 years old and I still remember that play. I was on the couch with my dad and we both cried because we both knew we were going to win the superbowl after that play. THANK YOU JOHN FOR ONE OF THE HAPPIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE.
The reason why Elway FINALLY got the ring he desired was that he finally had a running game Terrrell Davis and the defense actually helped him out when needed to.
Another Raider fan here....I fricking hate the Broncos! BUT good is good. Above all else I'm a football fan. This was a great Super Bowl! After all the years that Elway struggled with sheer determination...he got his Championship and his ring. He deserved it! Hard to imagine it...a bunch of Raider fans, a bit teary, and giving the honor that John was due. You never heard that from me, of course!
I wouldn't call it the greatest play it Superbowl history, but it's up there in the top 5. It is the greatest show of determination in Superbowl history though, so don't get me wrong
@owlcu I here you on that one brutha. nowadays most QBs would be too scared of breaking a nail to dive like that. when elway maded that leap, you just knew the broncos were gonna win that game
he's a quarterback not very big going up against huge linebackers and jumps over them for a first down i mean if you don't watch american football it's understandable you wouldn't know and if you do it's kinda moronic
