No, he was rated right where he should have been. Never made a pro bowl, never took the Bills on a deep run. I liked him, but he was very inaccurate on most Sundays.

Throw out the 3 OJ years and the 2 good years when Chuck Knox started there, and Joe's teams went 32-65. That's putrid for a "good" QB. He won ONE playoff game in his career. If I was a Bills fan, I'd root for the guy, but you gotta face facts. He had some ability, but he was never in the top 5 QBs in any season he played in, and most times, not in the top 10. Why these franchises thought Chuck Knox didn't deserve a job is anybody's guess. He turned the Rams, the Bills, and the Seahawks into winners, but they canned him because they didn't win the BIG ONE...smh. The Seahwks let him stick around after leading them to a 9-7 wildcard team that made it to the AFC Championship game in his first season there.

He basically wasted the 2nd half of the 80s trying to win by throwing the ball, and then when he tried to build a well rounded team he drafted guys like Sammie Smith. A devastatingly bad pick. Miami needed a back to keep up with Buffalo who was ascending. Even if he panned out it probably wouldn’t matter. The Bills cost Marino the 1st half of the 90s, losing playoff games to them 3 times.

Ferguson had a really good set of receivers at that time.

People who weren't there when Dan came out forget how well he moved...when he tore his Achilles which never healed properly he really did play the middle and back of his career on one leg.

I remember this game! Instead of being sad about the loss everyone was happy that we finally had a good QB. Fun times!

Good lord I spent years finding classic games and this quality is like it was recorded yesterday. Thanks!. I have this game but not so clear.

Joe Ferguson had a hell of a game!

While Trent Dilfer is the worst QB to ever win a Super Bowl, David Woodley has to hold the honor of being the worst to ever make the Super Bowl. No clue how he led Miami to the Big Game the year before

Joe Kapp, David Woodley, Rex Grossman are the worst QBs to ever play in the SB and they were the sole reasons why they’re teams couldn’t get the chip. I will say that SB 34 had the worst QB star power in SB history. I mean Kerry Collins vs Trent Dilfer. Compare that to 20 years later with Tom Brady vs Patrick Mahomes. It’s like going from spam to filet mignon.

If Marino could have run he would have been virtually unstoppable. Too bad the Fins didn’t have a good enough defense in Marino’s era.

And Dan the Man was part of the team that started losing playoff games in the Orange Bowl.

Dual between the first year of the quarterback (1971) and the second (1983). Nicely cut post! -Marino fan/student of the game

I watched this game. Who knew then. Orange bowl was a great place to watch a game, so long as you weren’t behind a pole. Reggie Roby was amazing. He wore a watch so he could check the hang time.

Marino would have shattered the record books if he played with today's QB "friendly" rules. His 84 season was and still is the greatest QB season in NFL history, all things considered.

The best QB seasons ever are the ones where they hold up the Superbowl trophy. Individual stats in a team game are way overrated and when you throw more than everyone else, of course you'll have more yards and more td passes. Do it when it matters, and it becomes a big deal.

Joe Ferguson along with Super Bowl QBs Terry Bradshaw, Stan Humphries, and David Woodley are all from my hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. However, Dan Marino and I were born on the same day, September 15, 1961.

I've never seen a Joe Ferguson game...he seems very underrated in Bills history (if I considered this game).

Yeah, I was wondering if this is about when the Dolphins fired PK Ray Finkle.

Joe Cribbs was great. A contract dispute and short career left him underappreciated

this game was legendary!

Breaks my heart about no Ring every time I hear his name.

What a great punter Reggie Roby was. The follow through on that leg extension is textbook. What an awesome QB Dan Marino was!! The accuracy, the awareness, the Ball Placement, the anticipatory skills. Kinda reminds us of another Dolphins QB doesn't it? Oh wait, yea QB1 Tua Tagovialoa has all of those skills as well. Miss watching Marino picking apart defenses, performing surgery on the football field, One of the best Gunslingers there was. Nobody had pocket awareness quite like Marino. Pressure in his face, the footwork in the pocket was exquisite. The surveying of the defensive line and scanning the rest of the defense. Making sure his weapons we all lined up correctly, if you weren't he'd be the first to let you know where your supposed to be. That's what a Field General does. The most Prolific QB of the mid 80's-late 90's Hall Of Famer QB Dan Marino.

Jimmy Johnson gave him the best defense and a good running game, and Dan delivered with 10 points in his last 2 playoff losses. He simply wasn't the best ever no matter how you slice it. The defense that was there when Dan showed up was a great defense. The guy just couldn't get it done. The great qb's take their opportunities and make the best of it. Marino could never do that, and for some reason there's 17 years of excuses and it's everyone else's fault including 2 Hall of Fame coaches. Marino killed the running game. Just look at the numbers and the fall off on rushing attempts. When they had rushers that averaged 4 yards/carry or better, it still didn't matter because Marino wasn't going to hand them the ball enough to make it matter. Stop the clock with a ton of incomplete passes and score quickly, and you can't keep your defense off the field long enough and the defense suffers no matter who the players are. He did that throughout all his prime years. The rushing attempt rankings don't lie.

Ferguson went off against my dude

I can watch these throwback games all day long!

That hit on the play action at 2:30 was vicious man. You could hear the impact on the videotape

Even with Marino making all kinds of mistakes esp in the first half he had something special about him. I really didn't see that in Tagovailoa. I hope this year we will see some athleticism and good throws.

This was a classic

Crazy how Dan isn't quite Dan yet in the first half. But after halftime, the legend begins.
