John Elway

“I always believe there's a reason why you go through everything.”

“I'm getting the basics with the AFL, but the NFL is a different animal.”

“Being thrown into the fire and getting the thing turned around in a hurry made it more difficult. Things have been done the hard way. I think you learn better when things are done the hard way.”

“I've experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I think to really appreciate anything you have to be at both ends of the spectrum.”

“I can't compare quarterbacks as apples and oranges in my mind because everybody's in a different system.”

“I don't have any pangs to where I want to be with the Broncos.”

“I'm happy with the Arena Football League right now. I'm happy in Denver.”

“The patience that goes with the game, the little things that go along with the game, you have so much more time to think in golf than you do in football - you have to keep your thoughts positive. I'm not sure I've got that mastered.”

“I don't know if I like being the sentimental favorite.”

“You always want to have good balance. That's the key to winning a Super Bowl. You look at the teams who have won championships, you got to have balance. So, to be able to run the ball effectively and throw the ball effectively is what gives you the chance to win a world championship.”

“As football players you have all the experience on the field. You don't have the experience off the field.”

“I think I'm lucky in life and not just in football. I was very fortunate to play for a great organization and a great team that was really good near the end of my career.”
