the answer is clearly john elway.

Or at least a couple dozen other capable QBs throughout history.

Young/Marino are nothing without their precious "stats". Hell, give me Jim McMahon.

What are you talking about? This is about two QBs who were just inducted in to the Hall. Also, your last comment leads me to believe you are mentally retarded. You do know Steve Young won a ring, right?

Steve Young
Brad Johnson
Trent Dilfer
Kurt Warner
Mark Rypien
Jeff Hostetler
Doug Williams
etc

Journeyman quarterbacks with a single superbowl ring. All I can say is that Young was fortunate to land himself in the middle of one of football's greatest dynasties, rather than finishing his career in Tampa Bay.

If bozos like these get into Canton, it's clear the "hall of fame" is a joke. Aren't those yellow jackets the same ones the ABC commentators used to wear back in the 70's?

Nine people (to this point) would rather have the inferior quarterback?

[Jack of Arcades]

So wait... a journeyman is a guy that plays for two teams in 15 years, and 13 years for one team?

Your take on Steve Young is really, really terrible.

Not a journeyman. Not a one-season wonder like those guys either -- Niners were in contention for a LONG time.

Young clearly belongs in the hall. It's not even close, do you see why, I'll let others elaborate, you should seriously consider killing yourself, yadda yadda yadda.

I was one of them. I guess I picked Marino as better because of his statistics. However I think Young would give me a better chance of winning games. If I was a coach, I would pick him because of his versatility and ability to create something out of a broken play. Maybe I should have put Young as the better QB.

I think of pure passing skills when rating someone as a QB, but not when rating someone as a football player.

[ucfryan]

Since I've been a Niners fan all my life I gotta go with Steve. You can throw Marinos statistics at me all day, but he never won the big one and he's just a really dry type of guy. LargeCents, you have no idea what you're talking about

What does how many teams have to do with whether he's ajourneyman or not? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

There are two reasons Young > Marino:

1. Young beat the Jets less often
2. Young never did this:

"With the clock ticking down, Marino hurried to the line and pretended to spike the ball into the ground, but instead faked it, and when the Jets were caught napping Ingram snuck behind the defense and was wide open to catch Marino's deceptive pass."

End of discussion.

You just described reasons Marino > Young. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

You're completely missimg my point. By my logic I could make a decent argument that Dayne > Payton. Its not very good logic, of course, but its propietary and ownership is important in a free market society.
