2009 Perspective X

as far as I am concerned, they are two different types of QBs

it was tough to tell who was who until the TD stat, because I know Henne doesn’t have 17 TD’s lol. Marino was better in every category, but he was also the best to ever drop back, so the fact that Henne is even close in comparison is a promising thing.

Question for you though… How many 4th Q Comebacks did Marino have in his first 9 starts? We know Danny was the King of the Comeback, but Henne is off to a fast start in that area, and already shows the poise and sense of the moment that so many great ones have..

of henne to brady. which i do see the similarities. the patience, the long wind up on the deep ball. Henne is going to be his own player, and im glad that they havent potrayed him a danny jr in the media…..yet.

good analysis mosul, rec.

We finally have our franchise qb guys… just let that soak in a minute.

Yeah, that’s a nice feeling.

bullet to Camirillo. I believe he has already won this team over and in time wil be more consistant with his throws and vocal in the huddle. I can’t wait till this game really slows down for him because he will be deadly. He’s already stated that each week the game seems to be gettting slower and he’s beginning to read the defense a little better. Hats off to CP10 for being an awesome teacher of the gameand Henne for being an outstanding student. Hopefully we see CP10 on the sidelines as a mentor next year. GO DOLPHINS! GO ROBOT!!!

Griese was an AFL All Star that year, going on to 6 Pro Bowls (2 All Pro), 3 Super Bowls (winning 2) and Super Bowl MVP. Yes the game has change significantly since 1967 and some 2nd and 3rd string QB’s today have better stats than Greise, but it is still fun to compare numbers.

I gotta give it up for henne, he sizes up fairly decent with Marino, but I can understand why he passing yards, touchdown and so forth we much higher than Hennes in the same amount of games. The R&R express. If Don Shula had this tandem he would be all over it, praising the football gods that he got another larry Csonka/ Mercury Morris backfield. Danny boy had nothing in the backfield to talk about, and his receivers were ten times better. But the defense sucked way more. So its give and take.

It’s tough picking a “greatest” quarterback because teams win games. Marino never played with a “complete” team. He never had a great running game; his o-line had some great pass protectors (Sims, Webb), but they never were very good at run blocking (except for Dwight Stephenson, who was great at everything, but he was gone in 1987). Marino never had a great defense either — in ‘84 and ’85, Miami would just blow out in front of most teams, forcing them to play catch-up. Marino may or may not be the “King of Comebacks” — I remember a few games where he blew the comeback by throwing interceptions that were returned for touchdowns, but he could also score with one throw from essentially anywhere on the field, and he was the most feared quarterback in the league for that. I think Marino’s biggest competition for the “greatest” is Joe Montana. But — and, yes, everyone I know has a big but — he excelled playing for great teams, complete teams, although what he accomplished in Kansas City in ‘93 and ’94 was pretty amazing considering that team was fairly average.
But imagine Marino with the Marks Brothers, Ronnie and Ricky, and the Killer B’s. Oh my God…

 Danny had to throw more as other teams were able to score more points. More passing TD’s because they didn’t have RB’s who could score. Funny, this forced them into being a passing team, which worked out for DM, similarly the injuries to Penne and Ronnie have forced CH to step up and he has.

QB 1’s receivers: Davonne Bess, Ted Ginn Jr., Greg Camarillo, Brian Hartline, Anthony Fasano, Joey Hanos
QB 2’s receivers: Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, Nat Moore, Duriel Harris, Dan Johnson, Joe Rose.

1. should have the edge.

debates, but really, he shouldnt be compared to anyone…yet…He was brought in due to injury, so no real way of preparing for a scheduled start,and I think he has answered fairly well..I have turned from skeptical to hopeful,and am pulling for him to do well..If Miami fails anywhere down the stretch here, I dont think it will be henne’s fault…We get henne some studs, and we’ll see a different qb…Might be time to get a henne jersey..and that is the best way to support IMO……..

 14 (19) Dolphins 6-6-0 Chad Henne is one of the league’s best young QBs, as he demonstrated in the fourth quarter versus the Patriots. (Clayton)
