byroan said:lmao..you can't put Kelly or Bledsoe in the same sentence as Elway and Marino.
and actually...Kelly had 4 bad years.
Finfan - the whole point was that it was stupid for you to say youd rather have Fiedler than Bledsoe :roflmao:
Kelly went to 4 SB's and lost them all (he actually won one, but norwood lost it for him) ... Marino went to 1 SB and lost it ... so they both have the same SB percentage - 0%
Dan Marino made it to the SB - 5% of the years in his career. Jim Kelly made it to the SB - 44% of the years in his career.
Now Im not sure what were arguing. Are we arguing just the player? If so, then Marino has him for sure. If were asking who did more for there team? Playoffs, SB's ... etc Then definately Kelly.
'88 and '96 were bad years for Kelly and thats 2 years ... not sure where the other 2 come in??
If were arguing overall records then Kelly was 107-53 ... Marino was 141-104 ... then again Marino played 8 more years than Jim Kelly.
So Kelly's win percentage was .669 and Marino's win percentage was .576
Jim Kelly is in the HOF (1st ballot and largest crowd of all time) and Dan Marino will also be in the HOF - 1st ballot guaranteed.
So the point? They were both great QB's - you like who you like ... i was never comparing them in the previous post, but if your talking about the PLAYER then Marino is definately your man but if your talking about TEAM accomplishments then your talking about Kelly.
Its almost like comparing Peyton Manning (incredible stats, no SB) to Tom Brady (not so great stats, but 2 SB's) ... of course Brady won them but you get the point.
BTW: Peyton Manning is on pace to break ALL of Dan Marino's records 4 years before Marino set them.
