Elway has 14 playoff wins, 4 playoff 4th quarter comebacks and 6 playoff game winning drives. And won as a GM.

You have to realize that your 'John Elway is overrated' thing is mostly just you.
I'm open to suggestions about the Raiders, though.
Broncos - John Elway. This is easy. Their most famous player who went out on top and then also won as a GM.
Chargers - Dan Fouts. Could've gone a number of directions with this one. This seems right.
Chiefs - Len Dawson. Underrated career even among younger Chiefs fans and stuck around Chiefs radio for awhile.
Raiders - Howie Long. Great player who stuck around football long enough to have a bit of a legacy.
Then it is Ken Anderson by default.
Colts-Peyton Manning
Texans-J.J. Watt
Jaguars-Tony Boselli
Titans-Eddie George
No disrespect to Aaron Donald, who may end up being an all-time great, but the Rams have actual all-time greats like Deacon Jones, Orlando Pace, Marshall Faulk, Crazy Legs Hirsch, Merlin Olsen and Jackie Slater who are actually all-time greats to choose from.
Are any of them Broncos fans?No, it's not mostly just me... @Mebert @Shanemansj13 and many others I can't think of now.
Mike Haynes and Kenny Stabler were the 2 other players I was considering.Off the top of my head...
Jim Otto, Willie Brown, Lester Hayes, Mike Haynes, Cliff Branch, Kenny Stabler, Gene Upshaw, Art Shell, Fred Biletnikoff
except he said DT and Deacon was a DE, but Merlin Olsen was a DT and IMO. Donald hasn't yet eclipsed himI would choose Deacon Jones for the Rams over Donald and I don't think it is close. If Donald has another 5 elite years, maybe he is in the conversation.
Its legitimately weird to see a Browns fan talk about Elway like he was no big deal.I would take Champ over Elway. Elway is not a 10 QB for me.
There are about 10 Raiders better than Long imo
i was thinking the sameIts legitimately weird to see a Browns fan talk about Elway like he was no big deal.
Agreed, although its probably closer to 3 more elite years from Donald and 5 good years after that.I would choose Deacon Jones for the Rams over Donald and I don't think it is close. If Donald has another 5 elite years, maybe he is in the conversation.

I personally think of the Raiders Stick Em CBs as the most iconic part of the team but I'm not sure thats something you put on a Mt Rushmore
your gonna have a 3 headed rushmore?Nope they get left off as they should
