      Absolutely. Those who haven't seen Elway owe it to themselves to look up some of his old games. You could never coach a kid to be like John Elway....too much of it was just Godgiven greatness...one of the best arms in history....among the toughest and most durable qbs ever...but above all else, this otherworldly instinct to make his greatest plays when it mattered most.

    Grew up in philly. Birds fan my whole
    Life. But when I was 6, I took two white tee shirts, one my dads size and one mine, and made two homemade jerseys. His was a green number 12, Randall Cunningham. Mine was orange 7. Elway. I just loved him. I was around 12 when john retired. Cried when I watched this live. Broke my heart. When he said he can’t do it physically anymore, I was as crushed as he was. John elway was a super hero to me.

    Elway retired at age 38 so he probably could of played another year or so and the Broncos probably could've become to first team to three-peate but again he won back to back super bowls as time was running out on his career so I can see why he made that decision to retire.
