I would have been a baseball player if my dad hadn't been fired at Washington State

If he [Jack Elway]... went for the job because he graduated from Washington State... and he was the runner up for the job. And thank god he didn't get that job. Otherwise I'd probably been a baseball player. Because the high school [in Pullman] ran the single wing. And so it would've never been exposed to what I got exposed to when we went down to Southern California in football.

This is a counterfactual historical reflection from the person involved.

You have to have a quarterback who can win from the pocket to win Super Bowls

To win Super Bowls, you have to have a quarterback that can win it from the pocket. You gotta be able to have the guys that can win it from the pocket because they're too good. I think that, you know, when you think about quarterbacks, I still believe you gotta win it from the pocket.

This is a fundamental football philosophy that is highly debated but remains a cornerstone for many scouts.

Passing on Josh Allen was the biggest mistake of my GM days

I loved him [Josh Allen]. Right? But it just, you know, didn't work out... and you're right. That was probably my biggest mistake of my GM days. Well, was not taking Josh.

Josh Allen became an elite franchise QB while the Broncos struggled for years at the position. Elway admits the error.
