You ever recall Marino audibling to a draw play? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? He wanted to throw every down. Shula should have reigned him in as Marino was about personal stats and glory and not winning.

Even though Lorenzo Hampton averaged 4.5 ypc (186/830), Ron Davenport 4.2 ypc (75/314), Tony Nathan 7.5 ypc (27/203), Woody Bennett 4.5 ypc (36/162) and as a team the Dolphins averaged 4.4 yards per carry (so much for having no running game Marino excuse makers as plenty of Super Bowl-winning teams ...

It seemed set up for Miami in 1985. They had defeated the undefeated Chicago Bears in the regular season. They would host the New England Patriots in Miami in the AFC Championship Game and they had already defeated the Patriots less than a month earlier on December 16th in Miami 30-27. So it was not...

No, nor would I ever want one from him. I take it you're a fan since you're anti-factual statistics.

Marino choked in big games: stats don't lie: '83 playoff team vs Seattle 2 Ints 77.6 QBR '84 SB vs SF 2 ints 66.9 QBR '85 vs NE at home 2 ints 54.9 QBR '90 vs Buffalo 2 ints 72.1 QBR '92 vs Buffalo at home 2 ints 56.5 QBR The only playoff loss he played well '94 vs SD 0 ints 109.8 QBR 1995 vs Buffal...

Fouts, like Marino, wasn't the same QB in the post-season.

Is there anyone that comes to mind that you thought would have been in that list? For me, it was Bernie Kosar, but then I looked up Kosar's stats, and he played in a majority of games in just seven seasons.

In looking at the list, I have a hard time with 14 quarterbacks better than Roger Staubach. Captain America, Captain Clutch. He led the Cowboys to four Super Bowls losing to the greatest dynasty and football team of all-time giving them all they could handle each time, and winning two Super Bowls, a...

Great question on Ryan. I would initially say no, but if the Falcons didn't blow that lead in the Super Bowl, he's probably in (what a difference one big game's outcome can make, a la Ken Anderson). If you say yes to Ryan, you almost have to say yes to Rivers who had more around him offensively than...

In watching the Sunday and Monday Night games as I always do, and perhaps it's just me being in my '60s, but there was a mystique to the Monday Night games. No doubt because of fewer games on tv then, Howard Cosell and the halftime highlights which I would stay up to watch even when young on a schoo...
