That is too bad not winning any SB. He was still outstanding.❤ I watched him on anygiven weekend while he played.

Marino was the only quarterback that beat the vaunted 85 Chicago Bears defense. If they'd managed to give him a running game and a legit defense, there's no telling how many Superbowls he'd have won. In later years, the Bears faced him successfully by keeping him off the field with their running attack. Marino noted before each of those games, "the Bears have a great defense, I hope I can be ready for them." Dan was the quintessential, class act, and a sweet guy that even as a bears fan, you had to love. The Bears were rumored to have floated a blockbuster trade deal, which would've sent Neil Anderson, and a few other prominent starters to Miami for Marino. Had that trade happened, the legacy of the 80s Chicago Bears, would've been altogether different and they would've had another 5 Superbowls and Marino would've gotten his rings. What if......

Always hear people try to down play what he accomplished because his team never won a Super Bowl. That may be true, but trying to use a TEAM TROPHY to judge the talent on an individual player, is asinine. Dan Marino IS one of the Top 10 QB's in the history of the NFL.

Apart of his physical skills, which were superb, he was also extremely competitive and would fight till the last second. I remember a game where he threw five interceptions in a row and somehow he ended winning it. He would get in the face of teammates DURING the game, but never point fingers AFTER the game, even if they deserved it. The Dolphins didn’t do right by him and were always a flawed team without a running game or a decent defense. He deserved at least one ring, but I’m proud of how he represents them now.

Only QBs get blamed for not single handedly winning a 22 man team game.

Dan Marino is one of my all-time favorites!

The 1990's was filled with astonishing quarterbacks. We ain't even gonna get into all the kings that came outta the 1980's, yo. That was the age of the Titans, b.

Duper and Clayton, the Marks Brothers. The Dolphins under Marino made the Shotgun a now common offensive formation. Later in his career Marino wore a visible knee brace that made him extremely slow and vulnerable in the pocket which is one reason for the constant shotgun position. It gave him a few more steps on the rush. Although he never won a Superbowl I would pick him any day over Bledsoe. Not saying it would be the wise decision but man I loved the 80's and early 90's Dolphins. 🏈

This dude was a one-man show. His teams were average, but man sure scared the hell outta defenses for years. Better than any QB today However, football is a team game, and January was not kind for most of his career. An all-time great regardless. He’d crush today’s NFL.

Marino was the Mahomes of his day. A lot of similarities between the two. Marino was never the same after he blew his Achilles. They didn't repair them like they do, today. After the Achilles, he was a lot easier to contain. Before that, he was as elusive as he needed to be to make the play, much like Mahomes. Throughout his era, I think the top teams in the NFC were just too good in the trenches.

My grandfather passed away in '83. He told me Marino and Elway would be some of the greatest to ever play pro football. 40 years later...gramps' picks were winners

Dan Marino was the greatest QB I’ve ever seen and it ain’t even close. There are so many of my Brothers that I would love to include in this but skin color aside, DAN MARINO was the GREATEST!! I’ve just never seen a man determine wins with only his ARM! Never had a great O-Line or Running Back and that alone puts him as my #1 and there ain’t even a CLOSE SECOND!! #MIAMIMIRACLEMAN

I was an avid Dolphin fan long before Marino came on board. Marino was clearly an exceptional qb that looked to be unstoppable but was. It was tough to watch the amazing Shula and Marino flaunt such skill but fail to really achieve much, despite being contenders for most of the 80s/90s. What I most remember is how temperamental Marino could be when things didn't go his way. I got the feeling that there wasn't great chemistry between the two (Shula/Marino) and often wondered if this was partly to blame for their lack of ultimate success. By the time Marino had settled down a bit, the team lacked talent in many positions and it just seemed like timing was never on his side.

The Greatest Ever.

Dan Marino was scary. Good I'm a big Elway fan. Dan Marino had an arm too

My only question is, where did his dad learn the quick release. Marino had the prettiest throwing motion almost revolutionary

Lol at Pittsburgh passing on Marino over partying and picking Rivera who was just as legendary for pounding beers as sacks in his time on the south plains in Lubbock ( rip)

He never could get over the top, no matter how many yards he threw for.

He was other worldly his first 4 years in the league, but was more pedestrian by comparison the rest of his career after that. The decline in fortunes of the rest of the team probably had more to do with that than anything he did or didn't do. The Dolphins draft history post '83 was, a few exceptions aside, abysmal.

How good was Marino? I had season tickets in Miami throughout his career, so I got to see him up close, and for me he’s the greatest pure passer in the history of the game. He routinely threw over 4,500 yds a year and of course had the 1 over 5,000 when that was unheard of, and a good completion % was around 57%. Only Montana/Young in the original version of Walsh’s offense had completion % in the 60’s and the 70’s which is routine today, simply didn’t exist. Marino in his prime under today’s NFL rules would routinely throw for over 5,000, probably flirt with 6,000 and easily have a completion % over 70%. While he was not mobile, he had incredible footwork in the pocket and was very hard to sack simply because he made his reads and got rid of the ball so quickly, with that incredible quick release throwing motion. And this was all without any running game after his 2nd season, when the entire world knew he was throwing the ball. The Dolphins’ offense during his years under Shula was very much ahead of its time, similar to Air Coryell. If the team had been able to give him a defense, they would’ve won several Super Bowls with Dan.

Marino is the greatest QB ever. Even Montana has said that.

marino is the goat, 1 man cant carry an entire team in the nfl

take Dan Marino off any team and there would be a significant drop off in production. but I think he was so great that he made many of those dolphins team look better than they were. If you replaced him with even a solid or really good QB then the W-L records would go way down. Only one runner over 1000 yards during his years, and even then Jabbar avg less than 4 yds a carry. Bad defenses and an over reliance of Dan Marino getting them out of trouble.

Miami should retire Duper and Clayton jersey number along with Marino's. Marino couldn't have done it without them. Marino is a legend and so is Duper and Clayton

Up...and out
