Should dome QBs have an asterisk by their season stats?

[Panthers128]

the lack of respect the fans have for talent on other teams is the reason the panthers lose so many games?

what? :lol:

Didn't say that.

Astroturf is bad for concussions and for the impact through knees and ankles. The weight of a 300 pound man is the same on any surface.

Personally, I think it is a legit question.

Where is easier to throw the ball? In a dome or in Chicago?

Well then shouldn't an asterisk be put by Marino's name for playing his career in Miami?

[Razzy]

I have a dream that the Saints go to Candlestick in the playoffs and get crushed by that 49ers defense. I love me some good defense.

[Skew]

Yes*

[Henne Given Sunday]

Well Marino did have to fight the frozen tundra of South Florida.

He also played in a division where he would have to play in New England, New York and Buffalo every year. And ALWAYS dominated.

no because even then you have the sun and shadows to deal with and this other stuff that falls from the sky called rain.

[pstall]

lots of Super Bowls played in domes. Any * for those wins?

I think Pittsburgh should have an * because of the puny conf they have pleyed in forever. Only Balt recently has been any good.

But I digress.

[rayzor]

both teams are playing in the same place. the playing field is level. no asterisk needed.

[pstall]

the advantage would INCREASE then for other visiting qb's. Their #'s should be better.

I see what the OP means but I don't think it's much of an advantage.

And since the playing field IS level...well, further cements my post as to it NOT making a dif.

But please lets destroy the Can'ts.

no wind. no rain. no cold. no snow. no extreme hot weather. no glare from the sun. no shadows.

that doesn't make for much of an advantage when the majority of their games are played in those conditions? :lol:

you're talking about one game.

the discussion is about the majority of games being in a protected environment that other teams/QBs don't have the luxury of having.

you forgot no blimp. didnt you just say BOTH teams play on the same field?

Sure the conditions are ideal. He still has to make throws, make his check downs, avoid injuries etc.

Not buying it.

[pstall]

also need to incorporate say a par value for football talent. we would have to create a sample size to have the EXACT same level of talent to fully parse whether or not there is an advantage.

Archie Manning anyone?

[Zod]

Zod, have you ever had a 300 pound angry man slam you to the astroturf?

No, but it sounds hot

[Zod]

So.... Yeah.
