Quote:You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Marino led the NFL in INTs in 1986 and 1989 with 22 and 23 INTs. His mistakes were double Blake's as a youngster.

QBs improve with INT rate as time goes by but in Marino's last game, he threw a pick 6 to the Jags in the 62-7 butt kicking.

Marino was 3rd all time in pick 6's but I've never heard dolphins fans crying "wahh his INTs always come at the wrong time"

QBs INT rates improve with time? Marino's was 2.5% his first two years. His career rate was 3.0%. No one is saying Marino never threw a pick 6. But I've already illustrated earlier in the thread he didn't throw INTs deep in his own territory as consistently as Blake does, at least not after '94 with the data that was available to me.


Even the greats are going to rack up some negative stats if they play long enough. Marino played in 242 regular season games and 18 playoff games. If we're just focusing on pick 6's, Marino had 30. Bortles has thrown 7 in 27 games. If he's fortunate enough to play as long, he's on pace for 67 pick 6's and would be far and away the all time leader in that stat.


This doesn't include the inordinate amount of INTs he's thrown deep in his own territory which I've already illustrated earlier but that you seem content to ignore. You shouldn't need these numbers to remind you what your eyes have already shown you. He hasn't had a devastating mistake in the last two games, so maybe he's turning the corner. And if he does, the sky is the limit. The high snap TD in the Titans game was on Wiz. But he did throw an INT inside his 40 to the Chargers right before the half which led to a TD. We lost the game by 6.


Your argument from thread to thread has been that Blake's INTs are normal and that the responsibility for losses lies solely on the defense and Gus and that nobody knows football but you. It should be abundantly clear to anyone reading this and/or actually watching the games that your argument and self proclaimed knowledge is laughable.
