Temperment
I think that one thing that gets lost on evaluating Marino is temperment. Further, temperment is not always used to evaluate Brady. People talke about arm strength, and ability to move in the pocket, (and these are huge) but temperment is a gigantic part of that position.
If you were to compare the two in terms of Temperment, what would we all have to say? Certainly both are extremely competitive. This is a great quality. But I remember watching Marino get mad a bunch of times during games. Aqua will say it is because of the lack of defence other deficiency not attributable to Danny boy himself. But to me, the way he would blow up at people always made me dislike him even more. The anouncers would say that he was being a great leader. And, interestingly enough, BB explained what a good leader is just this week. The bottom line is that the TEAM has to come together and win games - obviously. I think that Dan was confused about how to be a good leader. I always thought that Grogan was a way better leader. He just was not as talented as Dan, and we got thumped a lot by the fishy's because of it. Even now, if you watch Dan, his temper is simering right below the surface. He is hot tempered. Would any of us say that Brady is hot tempered? Who would we rather work with, or for?
To me, this is a big reason why Marino had problems.
