Well, that's fine.
But I didn't really comment on other QBs besides Marino who didn't win Superbowls.


If you consider not having won a superbown a mark against Marino than it was a mark against them as well.

since you never commented on my key point, the fact that some QBs elevate their game in the playoffs while Marino lowered his

You added that late in the game. I wasn't going to address it in an "agree to disagree" post.

Marino does hold the post season record for most consecutive games with a TD pass. Another postseason record that he shares doesn't show much about him, but does highlight his teams lack of a running game. NFL postseason single-game record for pass attempts -- 64 (December 30, 1995, vs. Buffalo).

His playoff stats are marginally down from his regular season stats but not to a degree that would justify your argument IMO. They aren't as good as Montana's or Youngs but they are better than those of many QBs who have won superbowls.
