    Hmm talk about expectations and pressure.

    This is up there with Mark Messier coaching his kid's hockey team, which would probably scare the crap out of some of the youngins, considering the intensity and fire he has...

    Good point. I cannot imagine having to not only live up to all the hype but handle the pressure and media spotlight as a high school kid. Hell, I can't imagine doing that now, but that's beside the point.

    I would bet that if he can thrive with all this pressure he'll make a fine QB especially considering his lineage.

    I guess it goes without saying that it's all dependant upon the type of guy that Elway. If he is like Todd Marinovich's father forget it, his kid and team will be in therapy by the time they are 16. But if is more along the lines of a Dennis Byrd, who just enjoys teaching and being with kids it will be great to get the expertise thrown upon them
