I know some of you already have Elway :)

Awesome for you and once I get home from work, I'm gonna WORK on getting him myself. Question about his abilities and release though.....

He gets Slinger 1, the Rodgers release, best in the game. Gunslinger does not increase throw power only release speed, so is it even worth it to put gunslinger on a card that already has the quickest release in the game? BTW, with the LIP legendary card and Legends chem, etc, you will get 99 THP on him. I have +4 on Culpepper right now so +4 on Elway gives him 99. Just insane. Doesn't help with bad reads  like I am prone to make from time to time though LOL

Again, grats and hopefully I will be able to get him later tonight

Also.....are people buying Team Diamonds in the AH, I don't know if a lot of people have that many coins ? Maybe people are buying their favorite and card for their TT .....

Well wish me luck  for later guys, LOL

You could put Gunslinger and SFL on him. That way you get the increased throw power and the faster animation, kinda like last years GS.

So the breakdown from abilities 

SFL: Passers with this ability have increased throw power on bullet precision passes made while their feet are set (except on high/low throws). The increased ball velocity from Set Feet Lead is game-changing. It will open up offenses by allowing you to throw passes in much tighter windows and it only costs 3 AP on Field General QBs. Some players can even equip Set Feet Lead at a discount for less than that.

GS: QB has increased pass anim speed and a larger threshold before using the long hail mary windup animation. EA nerfed Gunslinger this year. It no longer gives you increased ball velocity on your passes. It only speeds up your QB's throwing animation. You're much better off using a QB that already has a great release than paying 3-5 AP to fix a bad release.

IMO. GS is useless which is why its only 3/4 AP usually versus the 6-8 it was last year. Now its just for deep/hail mary passes essentially. We're even getting multiple people where you get it for 1 AP. Maybe at the end of the year when we get 98/99 TUP we wont need fearless hopefully? Then maybe you can get it cheaper and it may be worth throwing a point or two into at that point. 

SFL specifically says bullet passes with set feet and its velocity not release. So they are different things. Which is different than GS was last year where I believe it was every release sped up. 

The release is the release and he has the fastest one so you shouldnt even need GS unless youre bombing it most times.

I wondered if anyone has tried the PLE on him. It's expensive but could be pretty powerful.

With precision passing id think PLE would be a lot less effective.  At 99 THP which the card would have for me, and the fastest release in the game, I wonder how much difference GS or SFL  would make????
