This from the ESPN documentary about Elway and all the maneuvering around him by every other team in the NFL to try and get the first pick of the then Baltimore Colts who held the overall #1 pick in the 1983 draft.
All because Montana had what Walsh saw as a disaster of a season, no matter that it was shortened by the players strike.
Imagine Golden Joe running for his goddamn life on the Colts and Elway in that red and gold 49ers jersey.
They’re styles were a bit different, Elway threw the ball MUCH harder and farthur than Montana could ever hope to, Elway was a better runner. Elway and Rice would have been a SICK combo.
