Actually, I think that, in a way, this underscores the importance of experience gained over a career.
Elway was named SuperBowl MVP in his very last game.
Nobody would argue that he was in his top phisical form at that age after having his body beaten up for years.
But he had the experience to know how to overcome those deficencies.
On another topic, thanks for the info on Colin Powell. I'm glad I qualified it in my post since I wasn't sure he graduated from West Point.
