Caught a little of the top 100 players last night and saw something I surely don't agree with. Tom Brady according to the people who voted for this group, is considering better then Dan Marino. I find this ludicrous, as a football fan since early 80's, there was nobody who put fear in my heart or did not want to see on that field then Dan Marino. I'm not going to kill you with stats, but I want to look at Dan Marino record year of 48 touchdowns, Payton Manning year of 49 touchdowns, and Brady year when he had 50 touchdowns. Tom Brady had a future hall of famer in Randy Moss; whom caught 22 of those touchdowns. Payton Manning also had a future HOF in Marvin Harrison in addition to Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark. Dan Marino threw 48 touchdowns with his receivers being Mark Duper and Mark Clayton. Of course Brady's three super bowls definitely factors in people considering better then Marino, but seriously Dan Marino was probably the first and only quarterback in the history of the NFL you could not blitz because his release was the quickest I ever saw.
Ok, I left this post very vague. If you want to come with your research and stats, you welcome to do it. Lets let go of our Jet biases and please share your opinion on this one or any of the top 100 hundred so far.
