how many total pro bowls did marino make?
Who cares about pro bowls. Thats nothing more than a gloryfied hype fest. 1/3 of the vote is done by fans. Fans have a way of thinking guys are good because they are seen on sportscenter, made a couple of highlites, been on madden covers, and do stupid obnoxious dances when they actually make a positive play.
How bout the relevant stuff.
Footwork - Marino by a far. Im not talking about running speed. Im talking about the skill of footwork. Tom Brady happens to be the best at it of all current players. This is the most important of the QB skill sets.
Arm strength - Good try Daunte but Dan has you here. At least in velocity which is what counts. Daunte can sling it though, I have never denied this fact. At least he used to be able to. I didnt see him throw too many BB's last year.
Vision - Marino again by a big margin.
Leadership - Marino
Release - Marino by a margin wider than the Pacific.
Toughness - Marino. He's from Pittsburgh.
Accuracy - Marino again in a not close competition. Please dont give me the completion percentages as I have explained at least 3 times they are two different things. Id say this is right there with footwork as the most important skill for a QB.
Ability to rise up in the clutch - Marino
Character - Marino. I doubt Claire has ever had to hear about Dan out a boat party with hookers. If you want to (and I hope you dont) you can bring in the alleged drug use but, dont try and convince me Daunte's nose has always been clean.(pun intended).
Game management - Marino. Right off the bat, the clock play.
Winning - Marino
Let me know if you can come up with any particular asset that matters when it comes to being an employee of a football team and directly to playing the position of QB where Daunte beats Dan. Dont come with statistics. Im looking for things that matter on the field not on paper. Besides do you really want to come to Dan with statistical arguments. You can use any QB and lose that battle. Once again though Dan has those stats because he was the best player ever. He isnt the best player ever because of the stats.
