Customer Reviews

Excellent Perspective

This is one of the best books one can find about John Elway. Sure, it misses much of the autobiographical details, but it gets down to business quite well, distilling John's football life into its essential components. Its strength arises from diversity of perspective. Not only do you hear Mike Shannahan's memories and opinions, but also Dan Reeve's and the words have a healing effect for us long term fans. Likewise, hearing not only from key Bronco team mates but also from his rivals gives one the complete story.

Was a birthday present

I got this book from my wife as a birthday present, and immediately sat down and read it cover to cover. I knew a lot of the info in the book already, having been a Bronco fan since 1972, but it did refresh a lot of old (and somewhat painful) memories. I feel this book is a "must have" for any Bronco/Elway fan.

This is a Great book for all Broncos fans. A++++

This book (Biography of John Elway) shows not only History of John Elway, but also of his Teamates and other Players around the NFL . This book is loaded with Players, Coaches, and the Owner of the Denver Broncos.

Excellent summary of John Elways career by others

This book offers commentary and descriptins of John Elway by other NFL teammates, players, and coaches. Included are chapters by Mike Shanahan, Terrell Davis, Brett Favre, Dan Reeves, and Clay Matthews (who played for the Cleveland Browns, against the Broncos in 3 AFC Championship games). Each individual's comments are very interesting, as they all offer a different perspective.The only drawback is that the book appears to have been completed before Super Bowl 33; so Dan Reeves does not offer his views on coaching *against* Elway in a Super Bowl. A minor critique, though, as he still provides an interesting read.The book is also filled with many excellent photos from Elway's NFL and college days.

Excellent perspective of Elway's career from others

A fascinating look at John Elway in the words of other people: players, opponents, and coaches. Each chapter offers a different individual's thoughts, written by such stars as Terrell Davis, Mike Shanahan, Brett Favre, Dan Reeves, and Clay Matthews (who played on the Cleveland Browns against the Broncos in 3 AFC Champonship Games). The only drawback is that the book appears to have been released before Super Bowl 33; so Dan Reeves comments don't include his thoughts on coaching *against* Elway in a Super bowl. A minor critique, though. All in all, this book is an interesting and fairly affordable look into Elway's life and career.Also, it contains some excellent photos, both from his NFL and college days.
