Right. I wonder how many of those quarterbacks listed in Post #62 retired with nearly every major NFL passing record to their names!

Indeed. That he put up those numbers, in that era, is truly amazing.

Especially when you review the stats on other Don Shula quarterbacks, specifically Griese.

You want a chuckle, review his passing stats from the Super Bowl against the Redskins....

stats in football don't work like stats in baseball.

You're a fan and know it.

Was Jim Brown the best running back of all time. or was it Payton.... or was it Smith....

I vote for Smith, cause I'm a Cowboy fan. I think if I played pro ball I'd of been afraid of Brown. But if you ask the SF safety Lott who he hated to tackle more than anybody.... Walter Payton...why you ask? Cause he did this nasty little thing called "finishing the run"...just before he gets tackled he'd square up, bow up and plow into you.... ouch.

Running backs are about yards, but really quarterbacks are about championships. Like I said, it's not fair, but it is what it is.

Marino will have the stats till Manning (you pick) will break all of his records as will Brady. Then he'll be the second best or third best of all time.
