warning! not for marino fans.

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

Problem is when the D player got past the block. Back then he was free to maim, now it's a step above touch gootball.

its not true! today defenses is more adapted to passhappy offences.

Still doesn't compare the difference in era's.

Passing offenses now average 237 passing yards per game and 1.7 passing TD's per game. In the 80's the average was around 200 passing yards per games and close to 1 passing TD per game. Mario would still light it up and be an elite QB in this era as well

its more about health not gameplay

the brutality of gameplay remains almost equal.

59.4% for a QB in the 80s/90s is good.

I wonder if the new guy saw Marino play. I asked him that but no answer.

[handicappers]

Wentz gud @ gootbell but Marino pass butter then team

 

[ducky]

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...

#1 in rz ints in his time. Only 5 times rating over 90...
And there was a talent, and rushing offense was notso bad( but they run it rarely, why?), and defense sometimes were among the best.

He finished in the top 10 QB rating 12 times in his career.

You cant compare QB rating of today's QB's to QB's from a different era. It was a completely different style of play. You have to compare them by era.

Today's dink and dunk era of passing where not making a mistake is paramount is a completely different philosophy from what most teams in Marino's era who were looking to do. Marino's teams were looking to create big plays and lived with the mistakes that could come with it.

Had Marino been drafted by SF and played his career in a West Coast offense instead of a vertical offense, his stats would have been radically different.

My apologies to other morons, but you are a MORON.

2 possible scenarios:
1 - He never has and doesn't understand how the game has changed and stats are not comparable
2 - He's trolling
