warning! not for marino fans.

[cheerupcharlie]

The OP is definitely Don Strock! Still pissed 35 years later that he backed up Marino.

 

[F.K.]

It's either a troll, alt, or a kid I have to assume.

hmm, interesting mix...

 

[Wamu]

the statement is marino isnt elite qb. hes just proven but inconsistent, among dozens of similar ones. hes somehow hyped by media.
explaine, how these numbers can defiine player as an elite...

And there was a talent, and rushing offense was notso bad( but they run it rarely, why?), and defense sometimes were among the best.

Marino not elite? I hope this is a joke. You old enough to remember his playing days?

 

[Manster7588]

ok. then tell, why his stats drastically fell after several seasons? maiby, defenses figured him out?

His injuries piled up. Again QBs were hit and hit often. He was never mobile and couldn't avoid hits.

If defenses could hit QBs today as they were allowed to do so in the past you wouldn't see so many high numbers.
In football you can't compare past stats to today, you have to grade against his peers. If you watched him play you'd have seen how great he was.
No league has changed as drastically as the NFL.

Anyone literate in statistics and took all of 10 minutes to watch Marino should be able to figure out he’d play just fine today.

 

[Manster7588]

D. All of the above.

 

[Ricky Roma]

6000+ Yds. 60+ TD's per season.

Mid 80's Marino playing in today's game.

No other responses to OP.

With todays rules Marino would be passing all over the field. I'm getting a good laugh outta this thread.

 

[Gatorchip]

I'm pretty sure this alt or whatever is just trolling you guys. But have fun trying to talk intelligently to an imbicile.

Doesn't matter. Most people here are trolls.

if im not mistaken marinos first serios injury occurs only in 93, but his stats began to low prior to that. it would be interesting to compare of the amount of sacks from the past and novadays.

Good call on Marino's stats falling before his injury in '93. All he did in '92 was lead the league in passing yards.

OK, what years was Marino protected by NFL rules like today's QBs?

1994. The year after his injury.

i think blocking schemes were matched with rules. same in the modern league.

Rules may have been tweaked, but not protected like today. And the way things change in the NFL today's QB aren't protected like they will be in 15 to 20 years.

 

[Wamu]

Hahahahaha

Hey it's not that funny. Wait a minute, yes it is.

We can all use football reference too but thank you
