Quote:How many other chumps won a superbowl?


Keep in mind Eli and Flacco both played great in the post season.

Why not just tell me what you want me to think?

 

Elway will tell you himself, he never would have won a Super Bowl if Shanahan hadn't walked up to him and asked him to think twice about retiring.

 

When we punked him in the 1996 playoffs, Elway was ready to quit. Retire. No Super Bowl victory.

 

Shanahan put it plain and simple. All he needed was a guy to hand the ball off and throw for a first down once in a while. He thought Elway was pretty good at both.

 

The rest is history.

 

And was it interesting to read what Elway had to say recently...

 

 I was glad late in the game, even after the third-and-17, we were able to throw the ball and get some more first downs. Championships aren't given to you, you've got to go win it  :yes:

 

Bill Parcell's Three Super Bowl Things

 

1. Great play from the quarterback. The quarterback doesn't have to be great, just play great.

2. Run the football. Run to control the clock and keep the opposing QB on the bench.

3. Play solid defense. Tackle. Cover. Create turnovers, etc.
