Dan’s offensive philosophy was not very prolific. Good coach, yes. He should have let Shanahan do his thing when he was the OC. Broncos did not use John properly or surround him with legit talent until Phillips took over and ultimately Shanahan.
Just look at the career rankings when Elway retired. The change in offense since the late 90s has been very favorable for QBs. I don't say any of this to try and take away from Mahomes, dude is phenomenal. |

So I guess we officially "saw" this season huh? Chiefs dynasty completed. Spot on about Denver. Spot on about never doubting a team with the best HC QB and defense in the league. Uh oh....

In the 70's there was no PI or chuck rule as an example. Heck you used to be able to just smack other linemen in the head. Just ask the Deacon. |

I always thought it was weird that the NFL had a rule about crowd noise. I’m sure he’s not the only one that tried leveraging it.

I'm not even sure that Donald's the biggest or strongest in today's game. Just threw out a name. Are you denying that players are bigger/stronger/faster today on average? Last edited by RaidersOftheCellar; 02-12-2024 at 04:05 PM.. |

People nostalgic for that era only focus on what those players had to face, and not what they didn't have to face. Like I said, I'd love to see guys like Elway play against modern players under the old rules. Then we'd see how "tough" he was. |

If you polled the QBs of the 70s and 80s and asked which version of the league they’d prefer to play, most would say now. |
