He just said that if Dan Marino is a Hall of famer then Phillip Rivers is definitely a HOFer!!! I saw it on Power Rankings on NFLN.......Fins ranked 15 BTW........SMH
 
Rivers is OK... I guess. He is kinda like Romo to me. Solid, makes great plays from time to time but doesn't ever really put it all together to equal team success
 
I guess their point is both qbs put up big numbers but didn't win a championship. I think RIvers could be a borderline HOF consideration..I think he's a better qb than RObert Brazil was a linebacker and Brazil is going on the ballot next year. I wouldn't compare Rivers to Marino talent wise, but as far a both having nice number and no title the arguement could be made I guess. I would have loved to have had Rivers at qb in Miami during most of the past 15 years.

Anyone that makes that type of statement either is an angry Marino or Dolphins hater, or just never ever saw Marino play, and has no idea what he is talking about.

Big numbers in the last 10 years mean little in the new world of stats post 2007 Brady/Manning rules changes....Marino was great....Rivers is good...no comparison and Rivers is not a HOF'er.

Marino was the type of player who changed the way defensive coordinators designed coverages. He was transcedent in that regard. It wasn't simply about numbers. Marino could beat double coverage simply because of the velocity and accuracy of his throws.
I recall Jim McMahon in an interview remarking that Marino could complete passes that he had no business throwing. Many of you are too young to have witnessed the phenomenon of Dan Marino in his prime.
Rivers isn't even in the same stratosphere.

This. There is no argument one can make that compares these two QBs. It's just silly.

I agree 100% that Rivers isn't in Marino's class. I was just saying if his point is that both qbs had great passing numbers but no titles than I guess Rivers would warrant some consideration for the Hall of Fame. Obviously MArino was a first ballot no brainer selection. RIvers has had a very good career it will be interesting to see how it plays out between he and Eli MAnning. Rivers has better numbers but not tiltes. ELi has two Super Bowl rings but statiticlly is nothhing special. I think a two time Super Bowl winner will get more votes.
