Did Dilfer have the kind of stats A.J. put up ?

You can win a title with a QB as bad as Jay Barker was ( passing ) in 92 , with a great defense and a great running game.Why do all you guys assume that only a QBs passsing stats matter ? A QB leads, he is responsible for getting the play off, even in a runing situation.Maybe Marino should have checked to more running plays to achieve more balance ?

As to the facts , like I stated , if AJ has another 30-3 ratio and wins another title he might very well be the best college QB ever.
Likewise if Dilfer won 5 SUPER BOWLS and had three 40 tds to 4 ints season he would be BETTER than Marino , but he ,like Barker was truly a game manager ( Barker was very good his senior year ) but both had the leadership skills to win a title, Marino didn't.

QBs greatness , IMO , have to be looked at in a 3 pronged manner.

1. Passing ability / stats.
2. Leadership ability
3. Mental Toughness / can you get it done in crunch time.

Ummm... that's not what you said. Are you taking back the "rings are the be-all and end-all" quote? Or do you just not understand what "be-all and end-all" actually means?
