Case in point: Though their career's mirrored each other's, either Dan Marino was better than John Elway, or Elway was better than Marino. While there is no one statistic that conclusively proves that one was better than the other, it can be conclusively said that they were not perfect equals in terms of skill.
I can make you a pretty flawless argument that Marino was the better of the two, but that would hardly end the debate.

Well my basic point is people always seem to want to crown a single player as being the best ever, and as you allude to it's just not that simple. So why bother trying to figure out who was the best ever? There's a handful of guys who are always in the discussion, I just don't get the need to name one guy as the best ever.
