Thanks hope you start watching football with your eyes not just looking at the W/L column

What matters more:

Championships or stats?

And since you have a loser mentality your opinion means nothing. I want winners. Champions. You are ok with losers. Got it.

This is like saying Brian Scalabrine had a more successful career than Charles Barkley..

Can't take a single thing he says seriously anymore….why is it so hard for people to admit they're wrong on something as stupid as this? If anything I would respect them much more.

Would you take Dilfer and a SB or Marino and stats?

Or Peterson and a SB or Levy and wins?

lol simplifying it like that is below even Neanderthal-level reasoning. This is actually a new low.

Then it would be easy to answer the question no?

And that's not the question at all…you changed it because you know how stupid it is for you to say Nick Foles or Trent Dilfer are better than Marino

Yeah the question is stupid. He doesn't want to compare the QBs independent of team variables so he just slapped on the "Super Bowl". Like I said, Neanderthal level s**t.
Jalen Hurts is better than Dan Marino.

Trent Dilfer is better than Phillip Rivers.

If Sam Darnold wins this year, he will also be better than Marino and just as good as Rodgers and Brees!

There was some back yard ball for sure. I cant speak to what you saw in comparison to the guys you named but I can assure my take away from Mahomes was clearly different than yours. Those guys was not in the same realm throwing the football in my eyes.

Yeah I wasn't down with chancing it on Mahomes in 2017. Again too much projection and honestly I didn't know what Kyle truly wanted at that point. I'm pretty sure he's said he f**ked up there lol.

I was wrong like a lot of folks in the NFL. Got no problem admitting it

Oh yes, the same old narrative that we aren't true 49er fans if we don't blindly follow everything our team does. What other mammal does that sound like? Oh ya, sheep.

You either praise Shanahan and bow at his feet or you aren't a true 49er fan. We get it. That's how you try to end an argument. "Agree with me or you're not a true 49er fan"

The real defense mechanism is at the end of the day at least we "made it to two Superbowls" right?

No you're just being flat out stupid and emotional.

Nick foles, Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer are not better QBs than Dan Marino and Jim Kelly, yet that's the Kyle hater club's whole defense on why Kyle needs to go. Be objective for once.

Do you think Dan Marino and Jim Kelly would trade all their stats for one ring? Or do you think Ravens fans would trade 10 years of Marino and all those stats or one year of Dilfer and a ring?

No-one is claiming those guys are better than Dilfer or Foles. No-one is claiming that Doug Peterson is better than Shanahan but at the end of the day they have Championship rings and Shananan, Marino and Kelly are just another guy who couldn't get it done when it mattered.

At the end of the day this game is judged on how many Championships you win.

I remember watching the SB win in 1994 vs the Chargers and that was 30 years ago. I remember Jerry Rice and Rickey Watters torching that D with Steve Young. I'd trade every single stat and NFCCG and SB loss for one more Championship. Nothing else matters.

Its very possible that these questions yield opposite results. What a fan wants and what a player wants are two totally different things.

Would Dan Marino trade his career for Trent Dilfer's career? Doubtful.

Would Dolphin fans trade Marino for a Superbowl ring? Probably.

I guarantee Marino would trade all his stats and TD passes for one ring.

All of his stats and TD passes is what makes him a Hall of Famer, got him tons of endorsements, movie roles and made him an incredibly rich man. If he was Trent Dilfer he would have none of that.

You definitively stating he would trade his career for Trent Dilfer's is nothing more than an assumption.

Oh I loved him but didn't "want" him. So I'm with you. I just know what I personally saw was special.

Me personally, I could care less who the coach or QB is. If they win a SB but then suck for 10 years get rid of them and try to win again.

Loser mentality is being ok with just being ok and thinking there can be no-one else better out there.

As a fan, I want the Superbowl. As a player, I would rather have the records, the accolades, the fame and the money than one Superbowl and being a nobody.

Marino is better than Foles and Trent. Regardless of a SB ring, which is the whole point of the question. He said Foles and Trent are better because they have a ring.

Nah. I don't like or support the Rams. But I do respect them. What McVay has done for that franchise even with a mini rebuild is remarkable. It's a good blueprint to follow. You guys get upset bc he is what we wanted Shanahan to be. So it irks you guys when he's successful while Kyle puts up 3 points in the biggest game if the season.

Cue the excuses in 3….2….1…

McVay has never put up 3 points in the biggest game of the season. Why hes so amazing.

Ell going to answer? Or is he going to continue to avoid/ignore.
Why is shanahan the Dan Marino of coaches?

We're saying he's the consensus best coach to never win a SB? Are we for real here?

He's a hell of a lot closer to dak Prescott than Dan Marino in my book.
Jason Garrett taking interviews. Now is our chance.

TIL that Eli Manning is a better QB than his brother Peyton and Aaron Rodgers.

He is good enough to make the playoffs and keep getting extensions but he isn't good enough to take that final jump.

Shanahan is the Prescott of the coaches.

8 - 4 playoff record but you call him the Prescott of coaches. Dak could play 10 more years snd may not make it to 8 playoff victories.
