Lol a 39 year old Joe Flacco off his couch was throwing for 300, 400 yards in this soft ass era for QBs, just imagine what a prime Dan Marino, Montana, Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Farve, Moon, Bradshaw would do.

Peyton did that. In this soft era. Marino might get 7k yards.
Dan Marino never won a Superbowl because Ray Finkle missed the potential winning field goal to lose the Super Bowl and then plotted to kill Marino. “Laces out, Dan!!!"
That is high praise coming from Joe Montana

Drew Bledsoe was better than Brady. Brady is the goat but has a weak arm and played in a weak division his whole career He was guaranteed a first round bye and home field advantage every year bc dolphins,jets &bills were always trash. It’s hard to lose that way
Marino would make a mockery of todays ballerina game
If the Dolphins of the Marino Era had a defense as good as the one Montana had, I am sure Marino would have had a few Super Bowl Rings.

Unfortunately when he did get an elite defense he was in his late 30s, beat up, and Jimmy Johnson handcuffed him on offense. He wanted Marino to be like Aikman. Guess who Aikman's favorite QB was? Dan Marino
Joe is not a hater, this new NFL is soft can’t touch the QB or receivers now a days.Marino had 48 TD’s and 5000 yards passing. That record stood for over 20 years. No accident that when the game changed (don’t touch Brady) the records all fell. Don’t believe me just watch the old games and watch the games now. You can’t argue facts.

He definitely is a hater and a very jealous man, no doubt about it. Once Brady went past 4 SBs, Montana started measuring greatness differently, all of a sudden he talks about Marino and what he " would have done today" blah blah blah, You will never know, it can't happen. One thing for sure is Brady has 7 SBs and alot of records, including longevity. He played one SB with 18 stitches in his throwing hand, on his palm. No one ever mentions that, Won 7 but went to 10!! ridiculous. We all know who the GOAT and his name starts with BRADY.

I agree. Some of the most ridiculously talented and greatest at their craft aren’t talked about because of “championships”. But boy was Dan Marino beyond amazing. He had Duper and Clayton as his receivers which they were good. But imagine if he had guys like Moss, Irvin, Rice, etc. to throw at? He’d probably have a couple of super bowls under his belt.

Actually Joe Montana did nothing to stop Marino from winning that game. What stopped Marino was the utterly crappy team he played on... which could not run the ball... could not run block or pass block... and could not play even one facet of the defensive game to even a mediocre level. Go back and watch the game... on the first two Miami possessions, their 2nd year QB went through the all-time best SF defense like a knife thru hot butter for a TD and a FG. By their third possession, coaching genius Bill Walsh went to 3 down lineman (who still got a ridiculous pass rush) a linebacker and seven db's (four of whom were All-Pro including Ronnie Lott). He dared Miami to run the ball. They tried... they couldn't. The double teaming db's mugged Clayton and Duper and the TE's for the rest of the game... in a form of play which in today's game would have been called pass interference on every single play. Most unfair NFL fight I have ever witnessed. But Montana did not coach or play defense. Marino was the greatest QB of all-time and its not even close.

ABSOLUTELY I ALWAYS SAID IT!!! HE BEAT THE 85 BEARS WHICH LITERALLY WAS IMPOSSIBLE 😂😂🎉❤🎉🎉🎉
If QBs were protected back then how they are now and Marino had better defence he woulda had a few rings
As a Niners fan, I agree. Dan Marino is the most underrated QB ever....and he is still thought of as a legend.
Before guys like drew brees and patrick mahomes came along and made throwing for 5k look easy, dan marino was considered the best pure passer, just as before tom brady, joe was mr. Super bowl.

I remember in the.mid 80s when the Dolphins would score 42 points against the Jets and lose 45-42.
Wat a class act
Marino has held and still holds so many passing records. The release he had was amazing. Lineman would be bearing down on him or have him in their grasp and tackle him. Only to be on the ground with him and he’s looking down field at the receiver who just caught the ball or scored. From two hands on the ball at his chest, to up and gone in a split second. And often it was a frozen rope pass. Several receivers said you caught the ball in self defense. If you didn’t, it was like getting punched or you might break a finger. Marino came out of college with two flat tires (bum knees), that’s why he fell in the draft. He was selected to many pro bowl teams but opted out because he needed the time to heal up from tune up surgery on his knees. The defense suffered because he could score so quickly, that they didn’t get much time to rest. Joe wasn’t half bad either though.
Any of the the greats from the 70s through 90s would absolutely slay today with the defense hamstrung and everything in favor of the pass.
Joe did not say what the headline claims at all… what he said was dan was ONE of the best he ever saw and would do well today.

Brady played his entire career in the salary cap era which,in my humble opinion, is the biggest change in the game over the years. Since Brady never broke the bank, Bill got to spend the $ on defense. Brady was not as athletic as most, but he was smarter than all.

I used to brag about all the records Dan had.When he played he was the G.O.A.T. I’m glad to see him whispering in Tua’s ear.
Joe, Dan, Warren, Randall-so much fun in the 80s.
I remember Montana saying once before that Marino made us "all look normal."
The title is misleading. He did not say was The Best, he said ONE of the best to ever play...
Totally true I’m a Browns fan and grew up during the era of Marino/Elway/Kelly/ and Montana. If you think about it, with the way the NFL rules are now favoring offense. There was no leniency like that back when Marino played . I remember they implemented the five yard chuck rule sometime in the 80’s. That means you could bump and basically chuck a receiver all the way down the field. Not to mention the hits that were legal back then. All I’m saying is if Marino played now with the rules and offenses in place now because of his accurate cannon he’d break every record in my opinion. That guy made me sick every time the Browns played the Dolphins…..”laces out”
Marino was and still is the best pure passing QB of all time. 5084 yards in 1984 when defenses were allowed to maul opposing offenses. Still unreal he accomplished that when he did and the fact it took 24 years for it to happen again
Nobody threw the ball harder and faster than Dan Marino. Absolute bullets.
Crazy to think Marino never won a Super Bowl of all he's done
That’s a nice compliment.
Not what the clickbait says lol Very standard take
No doubt Montana 💪
montana and marino will forever be my all time QBs
not one fan would trade 7 SBs for arm strength, 4.4 speed, laser accuracy, top passing stats every year, and all the QB records, no one
The title is wrong. Joe Montana didn't call Marino the best QB in NFL history. He called him one of the best that didn't get his due.
I totally agree. What an honor though coming from Joe Montana. I was a Marino/Dolphins fan and I never saw a quarterback hold a team up like Dan Marino, keeping weak teams in first place. But as for Joe Montana, he was cool and he closed on the deal every time.
His first five years he was the best quarterback during that time. He lit the league on fire
If shula was so great why couldn't he win a Superbowl with marino
Your favorite QB's favorite QB is Dan fukn Marino
If Marino played today, he’d own every passing record by a mile!
Maybe a lot of what influenced Joe to say this was the 1985 season. The Bears were steamrolling everybody, especially defensively, including the 49ers.. Joe probably saw the Monday night game in which Marino gunned down the legendary 1985 Bears defense which was something he had not been able to do.
No question.
Crazy how many records he set during that era. Same with Jerry Rice
Warren Moon 💯💯💯
Otto Graham played 10 years won 7 championship and lost 3 championship, he took his team to the championship game every year that he played. No one will ever beat that ,

he would’ve done amazing things with dolphins if he had a good defense during his career
Nobody one 11 championships, baugh won 2, graham won 3. Nobody compares to Brady
Marino Reminds me of Barry Sanders, has all the skills just no team around him. Walter Payton was my favorite rb and probably more productive as he ran north and south but running ability alone Barry was best rb.
Joe Montana was one of the best quarter backs all time.
