A hypothetical that isn’t really about Dan Marino or Brad Johnson.

You are being forced to switch lives with an NFL quarterback. There is no way to escape it, and the only option you have is which quarterback whose life you will inherit: Dan Marino or Brad Johnson.

This is not as easy of a decision as it may seem.

Dan Marino is, arguably, the best quarterback in the history of the NFL All subjectivity aside, the record books seem to indisputably show that, without a doubt, Dan Marino’s tenure in the NFL as a Miami Dolphin was without a doubt the most impressive career of any quarterback, living or otherwise. He holds over 15 Quarterback records and retired with a very impressive Career Quarterback Rating. However, he retired in 1999 having never won a Superbowl.

Brad Johnson, on the other hand held the Vince Lombardi trophy above his head on January 26, 2003 after his victory in Superbowl XXXVII as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer. Now, no one really remember his name or who he currently plays for[1] or any of his career highlights. I would argue that if you asked Dan Wilbon to name the only Buc quarterback to lead his team to a Superbowl victory, the PTI host would baulk at the question. All that aside though, Johnson does have a Superbowl victory under his belt.

Every fair-weather football fan knows who Dan Marino is, yet very few are concerned with the life and career of Superbowl XXXVIII winning quarterback Brad Johnson. One is a legend whom will go down in history as the best quarterback to never win the whole thing, the other is just a merely mediocore player that achieved the most prized achievement in all football.

So who would you switch places with? [2]

=============================================
1) After some research (wikipedia), I came to find out that,
at the age of 38, he is the backup to Tony Romo as a part of the Dallas
Cowboys.
2) As the title insinuate, this is obviously not really a question about
football…
