His peak was about as long as Roger Staubach's. You have to think he only played full-time for 7 yrs, and those years were PHENOMENAL. I'd probably take that over a guy who just hangs around and is ok for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Burger King commercial based on that run... https://youtu.be/FAF7G552Mjk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman(DH23) Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 As much as I love Brees, this comes down to Young v Marino. It's a tough one. Al I can think is when Ditka said, I'll take Marino and you can have whoever you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he'd be a terror for defenses if he was playing today. Or he would be like Matt stafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x0x Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Marino, by a lot. Young: Had a phenomenal team and several years backing up Montana learning the system. Definitely 4th out of this group. Favre: In his best years could do no wrong. Mind you some great teams there, but still a phenomenal pure talent. Needs that support cast though. Brees: Closest thing to Marino in this era but the rule changes have inflated his numbers and has largerly had more support especially running. Marino: Largely mediocre receivers elevated by him (yes the Marks brothers were good but elevated), no rushing game. His 84 and 86 seasons comparing the league are still the best pure passing years in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a QB rating over 90 once and only hit the 30-TD barrier once in 10 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a QB rating over 90 once and only hit the 30-TD barrier once in 10 seasons. Passing TDs leader in the 90s: 99: Warner-41 98: Young-36 97: Favre-35 96: Favre-39 95: Favre-38 94: Young-35 93: Young-29 92: Young-25 91: Kelly-33 90: Moon-33 All of those teams are pretty stacked offensively. Obviously Kurt Warner's Rams, Favre was phenominal but had talent those years and I put him #2, still doesn't beat Marino at his best with less talent. One other thing is Moon's 1990 Oilers, he didn't have a superstar wide-out but a very rich 2nd tier line-up where two guys made Pro Bowl and two more were pretty solid. You had 3 guys over 70 catches and a 4th with 66 which at the time was fantastic. One other thing, in 98 only Young, Cunningham and Favre eclipsed 30 TDs. Marino in the 90s finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th out of his prime and was injured in 3 of 10 seasons. He finished 8th in 95 playing 14 games. He was 5 off from 4th. He had multiple TD games 8 of 14 and only 1 game without a TD. His support cast was Fryar, McDuffie and a RB Kirby. Parmalee is the leading rusher with 878 and 3.7avg. In his 2 game absence, the team loses both games with a pretty good backup Bernie Kosar falling to at the time a winless and 1 win team. This was also post achiles in 93, after which you can tell there's a big difference in his proficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
