Worse Than Most Of These?

Sorry I disagree too. If Dilfer was so great then why did the raven let him go the year after their Super Bowl run? That tells you all you need to know about his importance to the Ravens. And Pryor is just a faster, skinnier Jamarcus Russell..
I'll argue easily against this, ravens since dilfer left 0 superbowls enough said they had a perfect fit for someone who could manage their offense just enough to stay in each game even if it was the defense that put them over the top Dilfer still was the right man at the right time for the job just because he didn't fit a certain (Mold) of QB the baltimore ravens tried to appease thier fan base which hurt their franchise from most likely putting up a few good years in a row with that murderous defense let's look at hmm
"The Baltimore Ravens were defending Super Bowl champions when Grbac replaced quarterback Trent Dilfer, the only quarterback to ever be released by his team after winning the Super Bowl, at the start of the 2001 season. Upon signing, Grbac trashed his immediate predecessor in the press: "It's time that a quarterback comes in here and provides leadership, a go-to guy, a vertical passing game. This is a great team. I can make it better."
2002 Jeff Blake went to the ravens and started 11 games 13 tds 11 picks
2003 first round pick Kyle Boller 7 tds 9 picks
2004 Boller 13/11
2005 Boller 13/12
Don't need to go on until i get to Flacco but my argument is "Don't fix what isn't broken" wheel spins wins you a race you don't change your tire cuz it wasn't pretty enough feel me.

You are seriously implying that had Dilfer stayed with the Ravens, they would have more Super Bowl victories?! Its not like the Ravens have sucked ever since 2000. The Ravens 2000 defense was just that good.

Yes i am implying that they could've competed-(KEYWORD)-competed for more championships if you don't know Dilfer only lost 1 game in their system as the Ravens starter it's when they had no game general to manage the team that they (Tried Hard) and failed for it.

The whole thing here isn't so much who is better between these 2 rags as much as my argument was how can you say Dilfer had a solid career and not George. They are on par with each other. My opinion says George and yours says Dilfer and that is cool. I just cant see saying Dilfer had a solid career and George didn't. They were both average pro QB's.
While Dilfers career was highlighted by a SB win ... Georges highlights were some of those decent statistical years. At the end of the day though they had similar enough careers where you cant say one had a bad career and the other had a good career. There careers are to similar to say they were opposite sides of the spectrum.

The key is that despite perhaps statistical parity, George was a cancer no matter where he went. He alienated his teammates, coaches and fans. For all his decent stats, he was never a leader.
The opposite is true for Dilfer. He was well liked by players, coaches, fans. And he led his teams. And the fact is, despite his high draft status, he clearly did not have the physical talents that Jeff George did. He was let go by the Ravens precisely because they thought they could do better on the measurables with a different QB. And maybe Elvis Grbac did have better measurables, but what they lost were the immeasurables with Dilfer.
I mean, it was like Mike Phipps vs. Brian Sipe, or Bernie Kosar vs. Vinny Testaverde. There is absolutely no doubt that Mike Phipps and Vinny had far superior physical gifts over Brian or Bernie, yet is there any doubt in anyone's mind here that Brian Sipe and Bernie Kosar were the better quarterbacks?
