Anyone else watching ESPN's 30 for 30 "Elway to Marino"?

Fascinating look at the 1983 NFL Draft. I had no idea about all the what if scenarios. Elway playing Right Field for the Yankees. 49ers trading MONTANA for Elway....

"what ifs" are fun. Imagine MONTANA being the TEBOW in Denver. Too funny! madinmaryland Apr 2013 #1

Well if Elway goes to San Fran, what the hell happens to Steve Young? charlie and algernon Apr 2013 #2

He follows Montana to Denver, while Cleveland wins two Super Bowls in the late 80's. madinmaryland Apr 2013 #3

Young only gets his shot due to Montana's injuries. Elway is younger and healthier. Does Young end up on another team? Get stuck as a middling backup QB? Or is there a legitimate QB controversy as the Niners try to find room for both?

Ernest Byner plows the ball into the endzone after a crucial Montana fumble on the one yard line. Bernie Kosar, Ernest Byner are in the HoF and the "Cardiac Kids" become synonymous with the power house team from Cleveland (hopefully Auggie will read this thread!!)

ESPN should just replay the 83 draft on Thursday instead of the actual draft.

My Redskins were the only team that didn't have a shot at him because they just won the SB.

In fact his int% as a pro wasn't as low as his college years until his final season in the NFL.
