Nothing
will erase the memory of the
comebacks, the unabashed bravado
and
belief in his ability that made John Elway
the best
in the business when faced with
an unfavorable score and a
menacing
clock.
But the most indelible image of
Elway's
career came after winning his second
straight
SuperBowl, when he showed the
joy, satisfaction and contentment
reserved for the rare few who have
accomplished everything
and seem to
understand it's time to go. John Elway,
arguably
the greatest quarterback ever,
has nothing left to play for
and retired
from the NFL after 16 years of brilliance,
championships and excitement.
In just five minutes John Elway transformed
himself from
a good quarterback to a great Quarterback.
In just five
minutes John Elway took his first
steps toward a spot in the
Hall of Fame. And,
in just five minutes John Elway took his
team to the SuperBowl.
Elway is the master of the fourth-quarter
comeback, and his whole resume of being
a skilled technician
can be summed
up in two words: "The Drive." On a
cold,windy day in Cleveland, John Elway took his team
on a trip,
a 98-yard 15 playtrip that lasted
only five minutes. But, when
the dust settled
in the endzone,wide receiver Mark Jackson
had caught a five-yard bullet from Elway
and the Broncos found
themselves tied 20-20
with the Browns, and looking at new life
in
overtime. "It was kind of my stepping out,"
Elway said. "That was finally the game that
put me on
the map." After Rich Karlis
kicked a 33-yard field goal
with 5:38 left in
overtime, the Denver Broncos were poised
to
continue their trip in the Super Bowl, the
second for
the Broncos, but more importantly
the first for Elway. If Elway
never
goes on to win the Super Bowl, his most
sought-afterfootball
goal, he is certain of spot
on the wall in the Hall of Fame,
and one of the
main reasons is "The Drive." It will
forever be
remembered by fans as the most important
and most spectacular event in Denver Bronco history and they
have one man to thank.
