Comments on: Most Valuable QBs: Ken O’Brien vs. Dan Marino (1985) http://www.footballperspective.com/most-valuable-qbs-ken-obrien-vs-dan-marino-1985/ NFL History and Stats Tue, 18 Jul 2017 11:56:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.3 By: Shattenjager http://www.footballperspective.com/most-valuable-qbs-ken-obrien-vs-dan-marino-1985/#comment-327469 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 11:56:00 +0000 http://www.footballperspective.com/?p=33778#comment-327469 While he was certainly not Dan Marino in his career, Ken O’Brien seems to me to get mistreated historically. He was a solidly above-average quarterback in spite of his proclivity for taking sacks–he just didn’t last too long.

It does also tell you something about how good Marino was that he put up those numbers in a relatively down season.

Causing a fumble behind the line of scrimmage is wrecking a special kind of havoc, but we don’t have to pretend that it was also a sack. It wasn’t. (And soon someone will point out that the sneaky NFL has a rule that a ‘sack’ is not just when the QB gets tackled behind the LOS, but also includes any bad non-pass outcome for the QB.)
