Ultimately, I don’t mind rationale backed up with fact. But if your going to state the above...think you need to back it up other than ‘I just think so’. Especially when the facts say otherwise. We haven’t even touched on Marino’s 1.7/1 TD:INT ratio v Rodgers’ 4.2/1. But I guess such facts don’t register much on the ‘I think’ scale. Actually no I didn’t. Someone quoted me and said that. I replied with he may be but he still had more help than Marino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he put up gaudy numbers once it became a passing league, he is also a benefactor of some of the best coaching and scheme of all time.

The only stat up there was the 4th line item. And wasn’t Peyton Manning in the same era as Brady? I seem to recall a few H2H matchups. And again, calling a spade a spade...Manning received great coaching as well as evidenced by Tony Dungy’s HOF bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great coaches. Check out the defensive rankings for Marino's teams and get back to me. Usually in the bottom half of the league on a yearly basis. The offense was Marino or nothing. On 1/20/2019 at 2:49 PM, Falconsfan567 said: I honestly think Marino did get less help than the rest of the teams he was facing in the playoffs on a yearly basis. Check out the Dolphins rushing ranks in Marino's years. 1983 - 13th 1984 - 16th 1985 - 18th 1986 - 25th (Bottom 5) 1987 - 23rd 1988 - 28th (Last) 1989 - 27th (Bottom 5) 1990 - 22nd 1991 - 25th (Bottom 5) 1992 - 24th (Bottom 5) 1993 - 25th (Bottom 5) 1994 - 13th 1995 - 21st 1996 - 19th 1997 - 29th (Bottom 5) 1998 - 24th 1999 - 22nd Dan Marino played on teams that the best they ever finished in rushing yards is 13th. They finished last once and in the bottom 5 of the NFL in rushing yards 6 times. In 1996 Karim Abdul-Jabbar rushed for 1116 yards for the Dolphins. That was the only 1000 yard rusher the Dolphins had in Marino's time. So, the Dolphins offense was Marino or nothing. Now for the defensive ranks. Here's the points allowed defensive rankings for the Dolphins in Marino's time. 1983 - 1st 1984 - 7th 1985 - 12th 1986 - 26th (Bottom 5) 1987 - 16th 1988 - 24th (Bottom 5) 1989 - 22nd 1990 - 4th 1991 - 24th (Bottom 5) 1992 - 12th 1993 - 24th (Bottom 5) 1994 - 17th 1995 - 11th 1996 - 17th 1997 - 16th 1998 - 1st 1999 - 19th 1983 they finished with the top scoring defense in the NFL but it was Marino's rookie year and they lost to the Seahawks in the playoffs. The next year they were 7th in scoring defense and made it to the Super Bowl and lost to the clear cut best team in the NFL in the 49ers that year. 1990 they finished 4th in scoring defense and lost to the Bills in the playoffs. The Bills were to the Dolphins under Jim Kelly what the Saints have been to the Falcons under Drew Brees. Marino's teams were just not good enough to beat the Bills consistently just like Ryan's teams haven't been good enough to beat the Saints consistently. In 1998 they finished 1st in scoring defense and lost to the Broncos in the playoffs. Again, the clear cut best team in the NFL. So for Marino's career he only had a defense that finished in the top 10 in the NFL 4 times. He had 4 defenses that finished in the bottom 5 in the NFL. They routinely finished mid pack in the NFL under Marino. Here's the yards allowed. 1983 - 7th 1984 - 19th 1985 - 23rd 1986 - 26th (Bottom 5) 1987 - 26th (Bottom 5) 1988 - 26th (Bottom 5) 1989 - 24th (Bottom 5) 1990 - 7th 1991 - 25th (Bottom 5) 1992 - 11th 1993 - 20th 1994 - 19th 1995 - 16th 1996 - 17th 1997 - 26th (Bottom 5) 1998 - 3rd 1999 - 5th Only 4 times did the Dolphins finish in the top 10 in yards allowed. 6 times they finished in the bottom 5 of the NFL in yards allowed. Again routinely mid pack. So no, Marino didn't have a whole lot of help in his career despite who his coaches were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postseason success has a lot more to do with the team rather than the QB. Y'all can't stand when someone tries to downplay Ryan due to him not having a ring, but do the EXACT same thing to other QBs. If you dared mention Ryan's lack of postseason success pre-2016 on these boards, you'd get crucified. So why is it okay to use it as a measure to downplay other QBs. Rivers/Romo are not bad QBs, they were practically top 10 every year they played. The same can be said for Ryan. Postseason Stats Ryan = 237/351 (67.5%), 2672 YDS (7.6), 20 TD, 7 INT, 100.8 QB Rating Romo = 114/185 (61.6%), 1316 YDS (7.1), 8 TD, 2 INT, 93.0 QB Rating Rivers = 211/355 (59.4%), 2656 YDS (7.5), 14 TD, 10 INT, 84.2 QB Rating Like I said, Ryan has had a lot more postseason success than Romo and Rivers. This is what I was saying. I wasn't talking about team success or lack there of. Ryan has more than done his part in the postseason. He's the only QB in NFL postseason history with at least 20 TD passes and fewer than 10 interceptions. Think about that for one moment. THE ONLY ******* QB IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE WITH AT LEAST 20 TOUCHDOWN PASSES AND FEWER THAN 10 PICKS IN THE PLAYOFFS!!! Yet somehow the Falcons lack of postseason success is Ryan's fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Moon. Moon was probably the 3rd or 4th best QB in the league during the late 80s-early 90s. To me, Moon is who Ryan's career mostly resembles. Both were overshadowed by perennial Super Bowl winners (Brady/Montana), Both were consistently in the top of the yardage categories. Both on teams that would have a good year and then (while having great stats) the next year would be a down year...and (as much as this hurts to say) both blew historic leads. Absolutely!!! I've said that on here many times that Matt Ryan is the Warren Moon of his era. A guy who's true value and appreciation and respect won't be realized until long after his career is over.

I've never argued differently. I was just saying that Brady the first part of his career was on Matt Ryan's level. I think as far as pure talent and the type of player they were Ryan = Peyton. Folks don't like it because Peyton has all those numbers but Ryan would have Peyton's numbers if he played the majority of his career for Tom Moore and had the offense built around what he did best. Instead Ryan has always been forced into different offensive situations. Peyton was never forced into a situation where he was "protected." Ryan was. Brady was. That was the only point I was making there. From day 1 of Peyton's career he was given free reign of his offense. Ryan and Brady were told to go out and not lose the game.

Geneaut Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Warren Moon passed the eye test to be an all time great QB. Without seeing him play and lacking SB rings most younger fans probably don't know him. Having the Oilers move probably doesn't help his main fan base keep his torch lit either.

How good is Matt Ryan compared to these 3 quarterbacks in your opinion? I think Matt is better than Jim Kelly and slightly better than Marino but not quite as good as Peyton Manning yet. Your thoughts? Marino and Manning are probably a couple of tiers up from Ryan. Kelly is an interesting one. I think they're probably pretty close with Kelly having an edge as of today.

For me, there are two separate questions here: Who has had the better career? (which can reasonably be rephrased as "Who is the Greatest QB Of All Time?") and Which QB was the most skilled? Brady wins the first question going away. Its not really close anymore. The second question is a bit closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, using "QBRINGZ" is a pretty silly way to attack any QB, as far as I'm concerned. Its reasonable to use RINGZ to break ties but I dont think thats the way to judge a given QB's skill.

But if we're gonna use the pro bowl stat, Ryan made pro bowl in 2010 (his 3rd season). That still doesn't change the point that both guys were protected early in their careers as opposed to Peyton who was never protected.
