Steve Young vs Dan Marino

[Soul Daddy]

But technically, jake is right. I do think it tends to be understood or used as someone who has never found a home, but it really means someone who is experienced, just not spectacular.

I don't understand the results. Can someone explain how they'd rather have Young, but consider Marino better? Just because he threw a better ball doesn't mean he's the better QB.

Like I said, I'm not a Marino fan, but I'd go with him as the better QB partly because of his ability to throw and partly because he was such a competitor. 37 comebacks, second only to Elway?

From Merriam-Webster:

Journeyman: a worker who has learned a trade and works for another person usually by the day'

This implies that he's going from employer to employer, job to job, team to team.

If you ran a west coast offesne you'd rather have Young. That wouldn't make him necessarily better than Marino, but better for the system. This isn't my opinion, but its valid.

But did you vote for Young as the QB you'd rather have while saying Marino was better?

No it doesn't imply anything. Stop adding to the definition.

Unless you're confirming my viewpoint, your reply is to the wrong individual.

Eh, I interpreted the question as 'if I were the GM of a team who would I rather have' instead of 'my favorite team'. In the case of the latter, your point is taken.

I've never been a huge Marino guy, but he has the edge over Young and it's not that close.
If you're comparing Marino to Montana you might be able to use the jewelry argument. But Young wasn't exactly Mr. Clutch either - he lost a ton of home playoff games that his team was favored to win.

Montana > Marino > Young

And Marino's closer to Montana than he is Young.
