Stafford is the highest paid player in the NFL, just like Marino was when he played, for the same reason. The stats tell the truth, and when comparing them, they are very close.
Stafford cant touch Marino's jock strap? His JR year in HS he could throw the ball 75 yards! No 16 year old kid has EVER been able to do this! He has the strongest arm in the NFL.
Marino never won a SB, and only made it to 1. Stafford has 8 more years to play as long as Marino did, and with a better OL and a decent RB, and one great receiver, he could EASILY reach the SB.
Of course if your a Miami fan, Marino is GOD when it comes to QB's and no one will ever be that good even if they have almost identical stats.  |
QB’s are more protected now. You look at them funny and it’s a flag. DB’s can’t do nearly as much as they used to, without getting a flag. Both these have drastically made the nfl more of a scoring league. Makes it easier for QB’s to get yards and score more. If you didn’t know that, watch more football from the 80-90’s and now.
Just because you can throw the ball far, doesn’t mean you are a good or great QB.
Yes, I’m a fins fan, but I am not bias. You can’t name one other QB who could pass the ball better. Are there better overall QB’s? Sure, that’s debatable. Like Peyton Manning. I think he’s one of the greatest. Montana, has a great supporting cast, but he was still great. We could go on. But comparing stats between an era of football from 20-30 years ago is ridiculous.
