Yesterday, Miami Dolphins fans had a long discussion about Dan Marino's place in history, and whether he was "good enough" to have won a Super Bowl. it made me wonder, where exactly would I place Marino in history. Using the "Kelly scale," here are the top quarterbacks in NFL history:
- Joe Montana
- Terry Bradshaw
- Troy Aikman
- John Elway
- Roger Staubach
- Bob Griese
- Bart Starr
- Jim Plunkett
- Kurt Warner
- Joe Theismann
- Len Dawson
- Doug Williams
- Steve Young
- Jeff Hostetler
- Jim McMahon
- Johnny Unitas
- Ken Stabler
- Phil Simms
- Mark Rypien
- Jim Kelly
- Fran Tarkenton
- Craig Morton
- Billy Kilmer
- Boomer Esiason
- Chris Chandler
- Earl Morrall
- Daryl Lamonica
- David Woodley
- Ron Jaworski
- Rich Gannon
- Vince Ferragamo
- Neil O'Donnell
- Joe Kapp
- Ken Anderson
- Stan Humphries
- Tony Eason
Really, using this scale, Marino could rank anywhere from 34 to 56, but, in the tone of the article, why not drop him all the way to the bottom.
