Another one of Whitlocks comments was that the difference between Schottenheimer and Shanahan is that Shanahan had Elway on his side instead of killing him every playoffs. Ever since Elway left his teams have been running teams that can play defence, but he also hasn't had a great deal of success yet in developing a QB. His words not mine, maybe there is an element of truth to it, although even when Marty had a past his prime Montana he couldn't win the big games, and I don't know if past his prime Montana was that much different than Elway when he won those Superbowls.
