Blue Statement

"That's ridiculous," Elway says. "We're trying to win football games. We were 1--4, and we needed someone who could make a play when things break down, who could get us going and give us a spark. He's a competitor who has those intangibles, and he's only going to continue to get better."

If Elway is right, defenses all over the league are going to find themselves feeling a different kind of blue.
