I was living in Palo Alto when Elway arrived in the late summer, and went to a few practices (all open to the public, in the fields near the soccer "stadium").  Elway was throwing bullets from day one.  Schonert was a very good QB who had decent NFL career, but compared to Elway he was nothing.  I remember Ken Margerum talking in the papers about the "Elway Cross," which was the pattern made by the pointy end of the football which receivers had indented in their chests if they let an Elway pass slip even slightly through their fingers.  He was easily the QB with the best mechanics and arm strength that I have ever seen (sorry Andrew....).
