I wouldn’t compare Elway’s numbers to today’s QBs, of course, but they weren’t stellar even for his era. He generally didn’t rank at or near the top in any major stats and turned it over a lot. And I think the Reeves excuse is overblown. In ‘85, Elway was #1 in the NFL in pass attempts, by a good margin. #4 the following year. #6 the next season. 4th in ‘88, etc. He was almost always much closer to the top than the bottom in attempts. But he was rarely near the top in completion percentage or TD/INT ratio. There’s a lot more to being a top 5 QB all-time than a strong arm and the occasional 4th quarter comeback.

Was 15th too generous?

Is that in order, or just the list. I can agree with the list, but would have to make a few changes in the order. Mahomes most likely will be number one eventually. But I wouldn't put him there just yet. At this point, probably 4th. Montana would be my number one at this point. I would also move Unitas into the top 5. Marino would be just outside the top 5 at 6 at Young behind him at 7. Then Favre, followed by Fivehead, then Rodgers rounding out the top 10
