Tough to argue the number, but I don't know that I can ever say Elway or Montana were better QBs than Marino. I definitely can't say Favre was better.
elway and peyton are the only two modern QBs that can even be in the discussion IMO and as far as I'm concerned Marino still is number 1
Just because I have him at #1 doesn't mean much. I didn't get to see any QBs play prior to 1985, so if someone with broader knowledge says he was #6 all time it is tough to disagree. It is only when they list players I'm familiar with above him that I can really disagree (Favre, Elway, Montana).
i deleted that because it was aimed at writerr who had marino 6th. i didnt realize i posted quoting you until after i posted. sorry dude
Favre and Elway are not better than Marino, and Bart Starr should be ahead of all three. Still, it's one guy's opinion. He's entitled to it.
I agree. They are the only two you can even flirt with the idea that they might be better. Of course you can make good arguments against both of those guys. People often overlook how bad Elway was initially in Super Bowls. He just got a million chances.
I disagree with Clayton for one major reason he uses SB victories as a measuring stick on everyone but Danny and Graham. Either they are or they are not. As a pure pocket passer imvho Dan Marino has no equal! As a complete field general with all the stats but one locked up Peyton Manning will be the last man standing! There are two others who, it should be noted, we should not ever forget, Johnny U and Bart Starr. While there are others who were great passers or field generals, some on the list and some not I must take issue with both Terry Bradshaw and John Elway on the list but they are there because of their team's SB wins which is a disservice to everyone else he named! I mean good lord Don Strock was a better passer than either Elway or Bradshaw imho.
