Your telling me that Marino who is widely considered to be the greatest QB ever is now ranked behind, John Elway, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre?! Ik there good and yeah you can make the arguement that they have rings, but Favre didn't start breaking Marinos records until his 18th and 19th seasons, Elway only got his rings on the shoulders of Terrell Davis. And honestly qb's of the last ten years are ALL overrated with all these new rules protecting them and essentially boosting them because of it. The only QB in the debate to be better than Dan is Joe Montana IMO.
"It's been fun to get the reaction of visiting coaches to the color of their locker room. Most don't notice it, but those that do are in trouble. . . . When I talk to an opposing coach before a game and he mentions the pink walls, I know I've got him. I can't recall a coach who has stirred up a fuss about the color and then beat us.” Hayden Fry
I laughed out loud when they put Brady ahead of Marino. Brady wins the award for "most consistently amazing team around him when he played really well and won"
Couple analysts were talking about this the other day, randomly on NFL network. I believe it was Rod Woodson, Kurt Warner and like Jaime Dukes might have been the third guy. Anyway they all said with resounding confidence oh yeah DAN MARINO, when asked the question who was better between Marino, Elway, and Brady. That list makes me laugh out loud
I have not seen it. How are they defining quarterback? If, by quarterback, they mean "field general" that is who is best at coordinating and running the team, then you might want to talk about Brady and Montana, but then you would have to put Bob Griese perhaps at the head of that group.
If, on the other hand, you are talking about pure passing ability, then none can beat Marino, although Elway is a close second.
