Before Favre, we looked at guys like:
Dan Marino, a QB that we looked at as having done it all.... except get a SuperBowl ring. Favre is going to be putting Marino behind him in the record books.
Joe Montana. Look at his stats, they are awesome, but Favre has passed em. (except for Super Bowls, but we will get to that.)
John Elway. People were starting to ask if Elway was going to be another Marino, until his last two years, when he finally got his SuperBowl ring/s. Nevermind that he was already considered to be a sure bet for the hall of fame anyway.
( a little sarcasm here) That guy in buffalo.......you know who I am talking about......went to like four straight SuperBowls....... but never won one. You know who I am talking about. Dont you?
Im 36 years old. Those were the great QB's that I remember growing up. Other than in the number of SuperBowl rings, I am betting that a lot of their stats are pretty close for the amount of time that they played in the NFL.
Thing is, Favre is putting these guys behind him. These great QB's are going to be behind Favre in the record books. Except when it comes to the number of SB rings. You would think that that would be a knock on Favre, but think about it. QB's dont go to the Super Bowl, TEAMS go to the Super Bowl. The QB does not get a ring unless the entire team gets a ring with him. I dont think anyone should consider the number of Super Bowl rings a QB has, as a stat to judge his career on. Number of rings is a team stat, more than anything else. Look at some of the guys in the History of the NFL, who have recieved Super Bowl rings, just for being on the winning teams roster. Jim McMahon got a Super Bowl ring for being our back up QB in the 1996 Super Bowl, if you take that into consideration, I just dont think that "number of SuperBowl rings" should be a catagory to judge a QB's career on.
If that isnt very convincing, than consider this: Trent Dilfer has a Super Bowl ring. :shock: Yeah, thats right, Trent Dilfer. :knll:
Would anyone here care to step up and proclaim that Trent Dilfer is a better QB than Dan Marino ever was :worship: .......because he has more rings. :bs:
