Brennan Huff Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Put Kelly in Miami and he’d have comparable stats to Marino. If Miami would have drafted him he wouldn’t have gone to the USFL. In Houston he threw for a million yards throwing to guys who should have made the Pro Football Hall of Fame Edited May 17, 2021 by Brennan Huff 1

He was a good QB, but he could never get over the hump against Buffalo. Marino was terrified of Bruce Smith. He’d just fling the ball downfield and hope his guys caught it when he saw 78 out of the corner of his eye. 1 1

In his locked thread's OP this is literally the first line of his post Quote Who was the better quarterback Kelly or Marino? They both were great players The guy has definitely started some VERY weak threads, but I don't see where he said Marino sucks or wasn't a good passer.
BMWR100RT Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 I think Marino was more gifted, but the intangible nature of leadership makes me take Kelly as my leader. Hell, I'd take Phil Simms over Marino. 1
TBBills Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 I think they are both too old to play football anymore. 1

Said Marino sucked because he only made it to one Super Bowl, which he lost.

As to who is better, I got to go with the guy who had the lightning quick release and the rocket arm that could squeeze the ball into the tightest of spaces, that is Marino. & I loved Kelly, I have a wall in the bar in my basement dedicated just to him. I was always shocked if you go around the country people did not hold Kelly in as high as regards as the good people of WNY. I always found that interesting because I that Kelly was amazing. But marino was the better QB. In my mind Marino is a top 5 qb right there with Brady/Manning/Brees/Montana. Kelly doesnt even make the top 10.

But second, using your logic the defenses he was going against werent exactly NFL caliber either.
Real McClappy Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 We'll never know what Marino could have done with several HOF players supporting him on O and D like Kelly had. 1

Marino is in the conversation for top 5 regular season QBs.

Yeah Ricky Sanders turned out to be a productive receiver in the NFL, but the overwhelming majority of USFL players didn’t move on to the NFL. Now let’s argue about it some more without getting anywhere

But his receiving core of Gerald McNeil, Clarence Verdin, Richard Johnson and Ricky Sanders all went on to have NFL careers after the USFL folded. So your argument kind of falls flat. On the Bills , Kelly benefited greatly from having a strong running game. Marino never had that. There is a reason why Marino tends to appear on lists of the top 10 NFL QBs of all time while Kelly does not.

But yeah besides Sanders, none of those guys did anything in the NFL Edited May 17, 2021 by Brennan Huff
