So because Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer won rings playing on 2 of the best defenses in the history of football, that makes those specific players better than Marino when it comes to playoff success? Never mind the fact that if Marino had defenses like that he would have been winning the Super Bowl every year.


they achieved the goal of the playoffs… winning the Super Bowl…

Marino did not…. whether he had good enough D's or not…. hell, he was the reason they got their in the first place, and his place in all-time lore is solid, but he didn't finish the job and get that ring, like they did….

when it all boils down, the only thing that matters is that the two you mentioned got a ring, and Marino didn't….

Marino, in terms of career, was obviously the much better player, but in playoff SUCCESS, he's behind the guys with rings, unfortunately….

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. So if you were starting a team, would you take those guys before Marino? You have to say yes, because by your own logic, those guys can win the big game and Marino can't. Your logic is the exact reason why just saying someone has a ring is very much a bad way to judge players.

So I guess Jim McMahon is better than Marino to right? The fact that he played with the 85 Bears defense isn't relevant. They won the Super Bowl, Marino didn't. Therefore, McMahon is better.

The Ravens were literally winning games when Trent Dilfer couldn't even get the team in the end zone for weeks lol. Dilfer sucked, but because his defense was amazing, that puts him on a higher level than Marino? It just makes no sense. Rex Grossman nearly won a Super Bowl. I guess that puts him on the same level as Marino.

Seriously, you have to look at circumstances. Just because a team wins a Super Bowl doesn't automatically mean the qb of that team is anything special.
