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.

Without getting into a VERY nerdy sports discussion, I'd simply like to point out that this is exceptionally results-oriented thinking. While Elway was the MVP and probably the most important piece of that Broncos team, his contribution to that team's success (from a purely numerical standpoint) was certainly less than his contribution to earlier, worse Broncos teams.
Also, again, you're conflating 'experience' and 'learning', neither of which really address what spawned this discussion (although I agree that Elway did these things, and that's part of his legendary status).
It's up to you to determine whether this supports or assails your views, but I think we're way off the rails of this discussion anyway - just pointing this out.
