Dan Marino is ranked 8th...

8. Dan Marino -- Jay Fielder, et al
Team:*Miami Dolphins
Year:*2000
Comment:*Frankly, the Dolphins have yet to find a suitable replacement for Marino in the 15 years since his retirement. Fiedler lasted four seasons, followed by a patchwork run that included Jay Feeley, Gus Frerotte, Joey Harrington and the two Chads, Pennington and Henne. Current starterRyan Tannehill*has a great chance to be the best of the group, even by default. After signing a contract extension that all but guarantees his spot through 2017, Tannehill should reach at least six seasons as the Dolphins' starter. -
I think the Manning to Luck succession will eventually turn out to be a better duo than Farve-Rodgers.
-
Interesting. Don't think Rodgers is going to last long right?
-
I think Rogers is an excellent QB. I just think that when their careers are finished, Luck will end up having a better overall career, with more SB wins.
Manning and Farve both have one win in the SB and Manning has been a far more consistent QB during the regular season. If I could take one or the other at the beginning of their careers, I would give a slight edge to Manning.
Personally I would love to see any of these four as the QB of the Dolphins in their prime. -
Well Rodgers has 1 SB so far, while Luck has only been to the AFC Championship game. It's possible but I'm not sure just yet.
I wonder how SB's will Tannehill win before he retires... -
Well, I can think of a few who will have a..... ah..... somewhat negative response to that query!?
-
I don't know about that... It's slighlty harder to guage Luck v. Rodgers first three seasons because Rodgers didn't start until year 4. But playing time being equal, Rodgers might go down as the greatest ever. From a pure talent perspective, Rodgers has a better arm and isn't prone to excessive turnovers. In fact, that's what makes Rodgers so great. He'll throw 35+ TDs and only a handful of picks. Rodgers has a better team now and in the foreseeable future with Nelson, Cobb, Adams, and Lacy. Better coach and better organization. And outside of playing his own division, Luck hasn't exactly been lights out. He's struggled way more than most care to admit. Not to mention he's been putrid in the playoffs.

OT i'm surprised....no cedric thompson buys homeless man food thread yet ?
i think the colts are the luckiest franchise in the history of the league going from manning for 10+ years to luck with only one year of suffering -
Ok now I'm curious. Do you have an issue with the threads I create or is it just me? I noticed that you have something to say that appears to be negative with whatever I post.

I just want to know.

Ok then. Like I said, I was curious because I had no issues with him.
