Jon Elway’s impact on the game of football, both as a player and executive, has solidified his status as an iconic figure in the sport.
We get done with the game, and it’s an absolute downpour 30 minutes later. That’s when I thought God was telling me that’s enough-time for you to go do something else.
John Elway
There have been openings, but I have not interviewed for any jobs, nor do I want to right now.
John Elway
There are a lot of people who might not get another chance to win a Super Bowl, not just me.
John Elway
The Arena League is the best thing that could have happened to me because I get to run the whole process. I’m seeing not only the football side but the business side.
John Elway
You learn a lot more from the lows because it makes you pay attention to what you’re doing.
John Elway
It’s all about putting the best team together – not just in the front office but the players on the field.
John Elway
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.
John Elway
I’m watching the Weather Channel more than I’ve ever watched it. I’m scared to death it’s going to rain.
John Elway
I’m happy with the Arena Football League right now. I’m happy in Denver.
John Elway
I’m getting the basics with the AFL, but the NFL is a different animal.
John Elway
I would hope this experience would help me if that NFL opportunity were to arise. But I also know that it’s a totally different league. There’s a lot more to it.
John Elway
I would have loved to have played for Joe Gibbs. Look at his record of winning three Super Bowls.
John Elway
I’ve always joked about Joe Montana not appreciating his Super Bowls nearly as much as I do because he never lost one. We lost three before we got one.
John Elway
It’s really been a better situation for me being with the Crush than it would if I were with the Broncos because this has given me a lot more broad range.
John Elway
I had a great time doing Vegas. It’s just that it takes a lot of time.
John Elway
I look at my career and it’s still hard for me to believe the way things turned out and how things happened. I’ve been so blessed.
John Elway
I don’t know if I like being the sentimental favorite.
John Elway
I don’t have any pangs to where I want to be with the Broncos.
John Elway
I can’t compare quarterbacks as apples and oranges in my mind because everybody’s in a different system.
John Elway
How ironic, to be my last game that I ever played would be against Dan in a Super Bowl. The thing I always was afraid of was playing in a Super Bowl when it was raining. I can’t throw a wet ball.
John Elway
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.
John Elway
As football players you have all the experience on the field. You don’t have the experience off the field.
John Elway
A guy as great as Brett Favre has been for the length of time he’s been, you would hope that he would be able to leave the game with a positive flavor in his mouth.
John Elway
I always believe there’s a reason why you go through everything.
