AngusMcFife Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 1 hour ago, BayRaider said: Marino was a turnover machine and largely considered an idiot, even by some of his coaches. Turnovers are part of the game. You can shoot me all the bulk stats you want…. That's simply false. Marino's INT% was below league average for pretty much his entire career. Quote Marino scored a 16 on the wonderlic test, mind bogglingly low. Only a handful of successful starting QB’s have scored under 20. Lamar is one that comes to mind. And Jim Kelly. But overall, successful QB’s with a score under 20 is rare. I don't see how the wonderlic is relevant. It doesn't really test anything related to playing QB. I agree he probably wasn't that bright. Quote Marino sucked at reading disguise defenses. OK, funny how he was so successful then. His efficiency numbers are great throughout his career, including as late as 1997.

Nabbs4u Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Give me Farve. If for nothing else I'm pretty much guaranteed to not see a back up QB start for my team for 17 straight years. I'll Take my chances on a ring or two over Marino because of that. John Elway might be the most overrated HOF QB in NFL history. Dan Marino in todays ticky tack, can't look at a WR/TE cross eyed NFL without a flag, RB's who catch, would absolutely obliterate passing records.

Elway played in 5 superbowls. 3 TDs, 8 Interceptions, 59.3 rating, 50.0% completion. Elway beat Favre head to head in the superbowl Elway: 123 yards, zero touchdowns, one interception and a 51.9 quarterback rating Favre: 256 yards, three touchdowns, one interception and a 91.0 quarterback rating ...Because he had a Superbowl MVP, 2,000 yard back who scored 3 TDs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That (dis)honor belongs to Joe Montana, who wasn't even as good as the three guys in question in the thread here. Elway Favre Marino But, really, they're all three very close in greatness. And each had a trait at which he was better than the other two. It's a tough call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, Steve Young is better than Marino and Elway. Favre > Young > Elway > Marino. I wonder how Marino would have done if he had played under the rules QBs have today...

Superduperman Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 The entire second half of Favre's career was marred by fourth-quarter interceptions that ended the Packers' season. He did that like 4 years in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
