So Marino gets a pass for losing big games, but atleast he got his team their? How does that make sense at all? Just admit you have a double standard for Marino because you like the Dolphins and hate ND. It's the only way you can say Marino never had the team around him to help him out but say Quinn sucks. Atleast I'm consistent in arguing that it takes more than one QB to beat really good teams. It's why Marino never did it and it's why Quinn never did it. But both players made their teams much better and put them in better position to win. And no I am in no way saying that Quinn is as good as Marino.
Vince Youngs team was stacked on both sides of the ball. He was a huge part of that team but lets not pretend that they were bad and he made them great. Vince Young was a great player, who has said any differently in this thread? Also Young put his team on his back and led Texas to a win vs USC. Quinn in that same year put his team on his back led the Irish down the field and gave them the lead with 2 min left with 5 yard TD run. The defense cant hold a lead, that isnt his fault. He didnt cover Jarrett on 4th down.
Them playing top 5 teams during the regular season is expected, they should play good teams. All teams should so not sure what dumb point you're trying to make with that. As for the bowl games, they dont pick their opponent! Believe me if they could they wouldnt have been playing LSU that's for sure. Watch ND games and then comment because ignorance and talking out of your *** is no excuse.
