Yes, Mangini gets it.
These guys are bringing up whose the greatest QB this early in their careers. Marino is always brought up. Yes he had a great start and had great stats, but no Super Bowl. If you want to talk about great starts, you have to put Roger Staubach in the conversation who no one ever talks about.
Although 29 years old, because he fulfilled his duty to serve his country after graduating from Navy with the Heisman Trophy. Staubach became the Dallas Cowboys starter in mid season after the first seven games, and won 10 straight including the Super Bowl.. He was the Super Bowl MVP, becoming the first player to win the Heisman, win the Super Bowl and win the SB MVP! Now that's one of the greatest starts to a career ever. Is Staubach ever considered the best ever early in his career?
All things considered, I would put Staubach in my top 5 all time QB's!
In roughly 11 seasons, only playing in 8 full time, Staubach was in or a part of 5 Super Bowls. Winning two and a dropped pass in the end zone, see Jackie Smith, from winning three over Don's beloved Steelers. BTW, Pittsburgh had way more over all talent than Dallas, but Dallas should have won that Super Bowl.
BTW, if you younger gentlemen here want to know how a man should conduct his life. Do some reading on Staubach, and his story on a "A Football Life" is pretty good as well.
My top 5/5B QB's of all time.
1. Tom Brady
2. Joe Montana
3. John Elway
4. Peyton Manning
5. Roger Staubach
5.B. Johnny Unitas
