Elway carried a mediocre team on his shoulders to 3 super bowls, granted they lost all 3, but they were sub par teams. If he had played for just about anyone else during the time, say the Raiders since they were a thread away from having him, he would probably own just about every single passing record you could think of.
Dan Reeves' Broncos of the 80's were a bunch of no names who relied on the talents of Elway to carry them as far as they went. Not to mention there has never been a better QB in the history of the game when it comes to late game drives, and that is something very few people will even ATTEMPT to argue against.
Oh and to say Terrell Davis won those two super bowls for John Elway is a very stupid arguement, especially if you look back at every super bowl winning QB who's ever played the game and in one way or another they've all had someone or a group of players you could say either helped them or helped contribute to them winning.
Anyway, I'd take Elway and probably 3 or 4 others before I took Favre.
