Argument for Jim Kelly being the 'best' of the Class of '83

It seems like Marino or Elway get a little more kudos than their also=HOFer '83 counterpart.

What would be reasons for placing Jim above both instead?

1981 AFC East discussion

Three-way race for first to the very end with all three making the playoffs, and the two 'Toilet Bowl'-participants rounding things out! That Pats squad, though getting swept by the Colts, has to be the best 2-win team ever. Consecutive winning seasons to the left of that campaign (Fairbanks/Ehrhard...

Jim Plunkett VS Eli Manning

Interested in what your opinions are on who you think is better, and why, between these 2x Lombardi-winning QBs?

'76 Cowboys

The year after SBX, the year before Dorsett/Big D's second and last World Championship under Tom Landry. They didn't make it to the conference championship game. They barely lost to the Rams at home in a defensive struggle, 14-12, in the divisional round. I either forgot about it or never knew it to...

Re: Super Bowl LX, 2/8/26 Levi's Stadium

After, practically, three decades of bad Super Bowl games to start off with, we’ve been pretty ‘spoiled’ since SBXXX. Two more good SB games would follow from there, making it three in a row. From there we had bombs like Den/Atl, Balt/NYG, and TB/Oak but each one sandwiched by good games. There woul...

Bob Griese VS Troy Aikman

Without using Troy's 3 Rings to Bob's 2 as a reason if you do pick Aikman, if you had to start your team from scratch and these two are the best two to choose from to build your team around, who would your pick be and why? Not just Thanksgiving Day '77 and Opening Day '97 as respective examples (I'v...

Re: 1998

Out of curiosity, how good were the Jets that year? And could that go down as one of Parcell's best coaching job? I know that there is an old thread asking what '80s Jets team had the best shot at winning the SB (https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2389). But I thought that the...

Re: Super Bowl LX, 2/8/26 Levi's Stadium

Congrats, 2025 World Champion Seattle Seahawks! I'm SO GLAD I was wrong! Again, it was just a bad feeling going in; what do I ever know? The Pats-D did play stout, though. Maybe if the game was close, Gonzalez could have had himself a Chuck Howley-like MVP case, lol. What a GAME he played, and all i...

NFL Championship Game question (ticket distribution)

Back in the day before the Super Bowl (actually, up through the first four seasons of the SB era), the LCGs went back-and-forth with each division/conference champ taking turns hosting the event. Was there, perhaps, a set-up that allowed a portion of tickets for fans of the visiting team who were wi...

Re: Super Bowl LX, 2/8/26 Levi's Stadium

....making Darnold do Neil O'Donnellean things.... "Neil O'Donnellean" hurt my brain... I really shouldn't be as hard on Darnold, I guess. What I've liked about his play is he being anything but a "game manager" - slinging the ball with confidence and making things happening! Th...
