These sorts of discussions are almost always stupid
If anyone rates Elway as the very best QB ever, he is being vastly overrated. If anyone rates him much outside the top 10, he is being vastly underrated. To make a claim about someone being overrated or underrated without giving any hint about where he is rated is just pulling idiotic comments out of your ass and being willfully stupid
Dan Marino was a great regular season QB, but was a big time CHOKER in the playoffs. I don't want to hear about how he didn't have a running game or a defense. He had so many horrible games in the playoffs. That is a fact.
Career Playoff Record:
Marino 8-10
Elway 14-8
AFC Championship:
Marino 1-2
Elway 5-1
Super Bowl:
Marino 0-1
Elway 2-3
Regular season stats don't mean shit. Anyway you slice it, Elway was a better QB than Marino.
so?In 1983, the 12-4 Dolphins had the # 1 defense in the league, allowing 15.6 pts. per game. Yet, they lost on their home field to the 9-7 Seahawks 20-27.
Marino got outplayed by Dave "little hands" Krieg in the 4th qtr.
When it comes to Marino, all I ever hear is that the reason he didn't win a Super Bowl is because he didn't have a running game or defense. I say bullshit. He was a choker in the playoffs. They had the best defense in the NFL that year and lost to a weaker team on their home field.
.That's not all you ever hear. He never won a superbowl. Ya that's a shame. There are some incredible players that fall in that category. Only ONE TEAM wins it every year. No one player has gone out there and won a super bowl by himself and no TEAM has ever won it without a million things going right that whole year.
as far as that season in 1983 goes. Marino was a rookie that became the starter in week 5 and the team won 9 of 11 once he took over. The loss to Seattle was due to the large part to back-to-back fumbles by Miami's kick returner late in the 4th. Marino never choked.
