His 1984 season is still mind boggling when you really think about it. 5k yards in the 80s is just insane
And remember in 1984 the rules were NOT tailored and heavily tilted for offenses unlike today
You didn't throw that much back in the day like they do now.
5k yards back then is like 6k yards now.
And i think it was only 14 games too 😂
@@Call-Me-Cook685 By then it was 16 games
The most underrated Stat Marino has that will never be broken and is NEVER talked about is 19 Straight Games and over 750 pass attempts WITHOUT a sack
NOW THAT IS REMARKABLE !
That is his lines accomplishment not dans
@@TheB1gpimpno it’s Dan’s record, his line was average during those 2 years, not even a single pro bowler on that line. Marino was just too fast for defenses, he got hit but got hit after he threw it, his release and pocket awareness are the greatest ever. You clearly make things up lol
@@gregtrust5599too fast?? lol..absurd. That's like saying Brady was too fast
@@EngineVSEngine Marino had the fastest release in the history of the NFL, it’s pretty much a well known fact. Apparently not known by casuals
I did Dan's hardwood floors in 1989 in South Florida and he was the nicest guy ever. Thanks Dan's for everything you have done.
That's cool!
I did dan in the 80s and he IS the nicest guy
@@GRehillMusic wait what? "Did" Dan? You know what that implies, right?
You lie ha jk
Aggressively sacked him!!!
Dan Marino is a timeless quarterback.
Marino refused to change his game when Jimmy Johnson asked him to for the team. Marino was a stat guy and not a winner. Johnson finally said screw it and retired again.
a timeless playoff choking QB
and he did all that despite having the lunatic ray finkle on his team
legend
@@bostonkremer791Because he had no running game and no defense
@@bostonkremer791 go away lil kiddie.
The fact dad didn’t let anyone go to bed angry is one of the most important things ever. Amazing dad
isn't that the big story here ? amazing " dads. "
That's always been my house rule as well. You never know when you'll go. A lot of people young and old pass in their sleep. You don't want the last 3 words said with a loved one to be anything but "I LOVE YOU". Once my son punched me in the mouth drunk late at night and cracked my tooth. I said son tomorrow we'll discuss this but tonight just know "I love You" and he said I love you too Dad. Imagine if I woulda died in my sleep that night without making that clear. He would have felt guilty forever. A good parent bites the bullet for the sake of the kids. The next day we talked. He apologized. Never happened again and he's started his own family and is getting ready to make me a grandpa. My advice to him was never let your family go to bed without saying I love you. He smiled. So did I.
@@happyfacethrillahsfacestat242 Excellent comment! Thanks for sharing.
Just pure joy to watch this man play football for 17 seasons. Thank you Dan.
Yes TY DM
As a Dolphin fan who loved Marino initially I saw that Marino refused to listen to Jimmy Johnson. Johnson asked him to change his game and Marino wouldn’t. Johnson got tired of it and retired again.
Even more of a joy watching him retire RINGLESS!
what a joke, get out here.@@DMKFACTOR
And in 17 years could never accomplish the goal of the game!
He had one of the best cannons of an arm. Enjoyed watching him as a kid growing up in the 90's.
Jim Kelly Buffalo
I gave him a ROD
Dan was the man in those days. Regardless of not getting a ring. One of the best pocket passers to ever play the game
Dan Marino will always be my QB.
Yours and mine always.
Were you a bigger Miami Dolphin fan or Dan Marino fan?
@@raulcastro925are you a bigger fan of Marino or Miami?
@@williamgullett5911 Born and raised in Miami, so I was both a fan of the Dolphins and Marino.
@PowerCertAnimatedVideos when Marino wouldn't listen to Jimmy Johnson I gave up on Marino. My opinion is that had Johnson been able to trade Marino that the Dolphins would have at least made another SB. Johnson knew Marino was too big and entrenched in Miami so Johnson gave up and retired again back to the Keys.
Man I feel this man's pain and resilience. God bless Dan Marino and his family.
NEVER had a running game and an average defense. Dan was the man
He had the leagues best running game in 1983
for many of his years he had an above avg running game and D. problem is he needed one of them to be elite to mitigate his choking antics
@@newagain9964 I think what happened to Dan is that many times in the playoffs the best defensive teams are there and he had a real problem under a heavy rush because of his lack of mobility. To blame Don Shula for Dan Marino’s performance in the 1985 AFC title game is Ludacris.
He came up short in the playoffs!
That's a Lie! After '84 he was overrated ASF in the Playoffs.
Dan Marino one of the greatest ever in nfl history .
50 yr Dolphin fan who loved Marino initially. They brought in Jimmy Johnson to get the team to a SB. Johnson asked Marino to change his pass first game. Marino being a stat hound refused. Johnson gave up on Marino, said screw it, and retired again. Johnson has said he quit because of Marino. Marino had a great arm but he wasn’t a winner
@@williamgullett5911 Then why did Jimmy Johnson the quitter take the job in the first place then? He constantly trashed Shula on his radio show in 95 every week. He couldn’t even make it pass 3 years and he got talked into coming back by our stupid idiot owner Wayne Huzengia
one of the greatest chokers ever… 0 Superbowl rings
@@bostonkremer791 oh I didn’t know football was a one man game
@bostonkremer791 Takes a team to win a bowl JR wise up No defense or run game. Ho ahead put a anyone today with that Team and then put Marino with today's team watch him break 6k yards In today's time. Wise up
I´m from Argentina, I started to watch AmericanFootball thanks to DAN MARINO! Today I´m a Dolphin fan cos I watched him play. SOS LO MAS GRANDE QUE HAY DAN!!!! GRACIAS
United States Football 🏈🇺🇸
You Soccer
Legend
To call things from my childhood "old school" is just mind boggling, but seeing these old school NFL films brings back so many memories. From the players to the old uniforms, all so nostalgic.
Nirvana is classic rock now. We're old
Dan Marino is the best "thrower" of his generation. He threw the football with such ease and velocity and accuracy. It was simply amazing to watch him throw that football.
Jogn Elway!
yea Elway is by far the best “thrower”
It's crazy how many good quarterbacks come out of western pa
Montana, Blanda, Marino, Kelly, Namath, Unitas.
@CarlosReyes-qe2iq well I've never heard of any of those guys, but the Pittsburgh area has produced 2 total pros ( Marino being one and I forget the other one)
@@Amero2323 Are you serious? What are you, a 9 year old from another planet? Google those names.
He’s one of a few players in NFL history that could play in any era.
? Great players are great in any era
In todays game he would be unstoppable
him and Aaron rodgers are the greatest throwers of the football to ever live,
Over 5,500 yards and almost 60 TDs in todays no tackle NFL
NFL Scouts: " He's good, but we heard he's got a small coke habit "
1983 Miami Dolphins: "Hell, he'd fit right in!!"
Best pure passer the league has ever seen. The best release an accuracy ever!
Dan Marino had a cannon for a arm man if Marino played in this area he would probably throw for 7K and 50 to 60 TD every season
Also you put Dan Marino on those Bills teams they would definitely win 3/4 Super Bowls and trust me I’m a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan
Can you imagine prime Marino with tyreek and waddle?
@@unicornsandrainbowsandchic2336or prime tyreek and Stefon Diggs
@@Soul_Born damn near anyone in this version of the league with a decent defense!
Nah. Bad take. Jim Kelly was an MVP Candidate in 2 of those 4 years, and All Pro in Two as well. After 86, Marino was never even an MVP Candidate and rarely even All Pro or Pro Bowl. In all 4 years, Jim Kelly threw for more TDs and Less INTs than Marino in those same 4 years.
Kelly was the Perfect QB for the Bills and led that Team. Marino was not the Kelly Type. Marino was always more a Phillip Rivers "Diva Cry Baby" type than a Leader of Men.
@@justinlast2lastharder749 Mic drop!
That was a pure joy to watch. Dan is a real class act, and it's a shame he never won the big one.
He never won the big one because Marino was a selfish stat chaser. I have been a fan of Miami since the early 70s and loved Marino initially…until he showed what was important to him. Miami brought in Jimmy Johnson, who had just turned Dallas into a championship team. Getting Johnson was huge. He would have taken Miami to Super Bowls but Dan Marino wouldn’t change his game. Johnson asked Marino to change his game, Johnson has spoken about this many times. Marino told him no. Marino didn’t want his stats to suffer. Johnson finally gave up and quit. He has said he quit because of Marinos selfishness. Great QBs are team players and Marino wasn’t. Marino didn’t accomplish anything in Miami and as a Dolphin fan who cares about the team I wish they hadn’t drafted him.
Dan Marino is overrated
@@bostonkremer791 I came to the same conclusion watching him play.
@@williamgullett5911yup, he didnt deserve a Superbowl being the selfish overrated clown he was. Seeing him stomped out by the 49ers was amazing
@@williamgullett5911False and stupid take, Jimmy Didn't want Marino to throw as much but he also didn't Have a run game to do what he wanted and Marino knew it, Try learning before trolling falsely like am Idiot
As much credit as people give 1984, he led the league in passing 3 of his first 4 years, 4 of his first 6, he threw 44 TD's in his 4th year. Sure he threw a lot of picks, but with the risks he was able to take cuz he was so good, you knew more often than not that he would beat you with his arm. In a stacked 1983 draft class for QB's, he just happened to be the best of them all.
All due respect, I’ll take John Elway out of the 83 draft.
@@BootsAreYellowBecause he won a SuperBowl?
@@knowa745Elway was mobile
He did that because Shula stole Don Coryell's Air Coryell Offense that had been leading the League in Passing from 78-83. Dan Fouts hit 4,700 and 4,800 in 80 and 81 in the same offense with lesser players. Marino only broke Fouts' 4,800 yard mark ONCE.
@@knowa745Because Elway was BETTER in pretty much every way and did more with less than Marino had. Elways was also Mobile and not a Backfield Pylon like Marino was. Elway was able to pull a Rabbit out the Hat when everything broke down and your team needed to make that First Down. Marino just sat back and hoped someone got open.
Marino was a Favre. Great QB...but he cost your team games and never really could take a team to the Promised Land by himself. QBs like Brady and Elway dragged their teams kicking and screaming to the Super Bowl. Sure, both lost a few Super Bowls, but Marino personally lost his team his only Super Bowl Appearance with two poorly timed INTs.
There are two days I will never forget. 9/11 and the day Marino announced his retirement. I was born in a dolphins jersey. Miami is a massive part of my family. It's the only thing we don't argue about. I was 9 when it happened and the first time I ever felt depression. It was like someone died.
I was sad the day Kenny the snake Stabler died.
What a strange 2 things lmao.
I forget about 9/11 all the time.
@@ScootsMcPooti was thinking the same thing 😂😂
1 of the best A Football Life Documentaries I've watched so far. Dan Marino was 1 of my favorite players growing up.
If you ever watched Dan Marino play football. You wouldn't have any questions or anything but a smile when you watch him play quarterback. Period.
Correct....because if you were playing against him in the playoffs, you knew you had an automatic dub.
When Dan Marino got emotional talking about his dad, I did too. Not because my dad past away or something like that, but because I'm 43 and I've been trying to build a relationship with my dad from the the time I was a kid. That hasn't changed, to this day I still try. It hurts that I don't have a relationship with him today.
i hope you do brother
Way to make it about you.
What a dipsh*t comment. You made it about you by ripping a stranger's heartfelt post. @@Rob-dp3vr May God have mercy on your soul
The way he hit his receivers in stride like that is such a thing of beauty
Montana, Young, and even Aikman hit their receivers in stride too.
@@roland7584TB12 did also!
I’m a true Jets fan who was in jr high school when he was drafted. Many of Sundays Dan broke my heart by beating my team but I have to be honest Dan Marino brought so much joy to me watching him play. So fortunate to be able to watch him play. What an arm best 5 or 6 QB to play the position!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
5 or 6 ? Get your math right, def top 4 and I could not say who was better at the 3 spot.
If only he won a SB!
Dan Marino had the best release ever. Watching him throw is an experience itself
Greatest pure passer in history imo
Also was the biggest choker in NFL history too. 0 Superbowl titles. Brady has 7 of them.
Gotta have a defense for that. @@bostonkremer791
NPCs repeat nonsensical things.."pure passer"? lmao..what or who exactly is an "impure passer"??
@@bostonkremer791Brady won 7 because of his teams...Marino is an infinite times more skilled than Brady. Football isn't a 1vs1 sport.
@@newagain9964Now now, let's all get along. Pure passer lol.
And Marino is such an unusual character. Miami never won the Super Bowl under him but, he was adopted and loved for being - such an emotionally balanced person. What may have seemed more common at one time - in our modern age - makes him seem like a freak.
I first met Dan in 1988. We met again numerous times throughout his career and at the HOF. He was always the nicest legend I've ever met. He was an absolute legend with an arm touched by God.
I grew up as a Dolphins Fan because of Dan Marino!!!!!!!! Also, my biological father actually played baseball with Dan Marino in college!!!!!!!! Because of my father’s personal connection to Dan Marino, I personally would like to meet Dan Marino someday!!!!!!!!
I suggest you write a letter to Dan and tell him who you are. I'm sure he remembers your father. You might not get to meet him but he might call you.
That signature lightning quick release, his incredible vision down field and the heart of a champion. Dan Marino was, is and always will be a legend and one of my all time favorite players.
Proud to be a fellow Pittsburgh Central Catholic and Pitt grad.
Dan Marino was simply the greatest QB ever to never win a super bowl championship but make no mistake about it just this sure he'll always be #1 in Miami's heart he was the finest player to ever come out of the University of Pittsburgh in 1983 nfl draft plain and simple 1:31
And according to Joe Montana, highest regards period.
He's also my favorite quarterback and I never saw him play in his time unfortunately.
Watching old games, I've never seen a quarterback so accurate in my life.
Only once had a 1,000 yard rusher and team would consistently finish in the bottom 10 or bottom 5 in team rushing / never had a HOF WR or TE / average Team Defense was 15th. Every defense knew when he had to throw the ball they had to throw and he still torched those defenses. Not only the greatest to never win a SB, but one of the greatest period.
Super bowl or not he's a top 3 QB of all time others learnt from him how to be an excellent QB!
Ok let's see the list
Brady, Marino, it's a toss between Montana and Brees.
You have to put in account it's a different era where passing wasn't even close to what it is today.
You could put staubach, unitas, favre, moon, manning, I could keep listing them.
It's more a matter of opinion to be honest. But if Marino played today no doubt he would be the best QB in the league. The numbers he would put up would be insane. They way they protect the QB and let WR run free.
Nah, hes' not in the top 15
@@Big_Toe_21 Fouts was in his era and his numbers were amazing too, yet you don't even list him. I wonder why.
@@roland7584so true. I was just listing people that came to mind at the time. The list I’d still be typing if I listed them all 😂
Dan Marino still holds records at pace with mahomes and every other great. With the right team right coach he's a 4 or 5 time champion.
Mahomes isn't even in Dan's league. The nfl is so soft today, you really can't compare.
Not even close
Shula was the right coach. Dan had some bad playoff games. The NFC was superior in the 80’s.
@@Ryan2022😂😂😂😂😂he never had a defense or a running game. Shula is overrated 😂😂😂😂😂durrr he won a superbowl in 1842 durrrr
Right coach? Like....Don Shula? Lmao. Brady has clouded peoples minds of what is possible. The list of 4 time champions is 3 names long if you're only counting QBs. It isn't possible that every top 3 QB of each decade is going to win 2-4 super bowls. Someone's gotta lose
As a diehard NY Jets Dan Marino was my favorite QB. If he played today with the rules today, he would set QB records every year. I saw first hand how he carved the NY Jets up. To think the NY Jets passed on Dan Marino in the 1983 NFL draft. Dan Marino with Wesley Walker, Al Toon, Mickey Shuler and Freeman McNeil would have better numbers than with the Mark Brothers. Dan Marino put the fear of God in every NFL team.
Honestly some of the top players in the 80s 90s wouldn't start in today's NFL.
My grandmother who knew nothi about football every Sunday would ask Is Marino playing If not sjed tirn off the TV and tell us to go play outside..Marino was more then Just the greatest passer He was special
As a life long Niners fan Dan was scary and amazing to watch play... And thank you Dan for inspiring our current number 13... How crazy is it gonna be this year if Miami can meet up with the 49es in the Bowl.??
I'm worried about the niners. I want to see how they bounce back this Sunday.
The fish got squished.
As a 12 year old kid attending middle school growing up in Mexico, waiting for Sundays so I could watch Dan Marino playing it was exiting, I am a Steelers Fan til I die but but Dan was awesome just awesome player, I enjoyed watching him throwing that football. Thank you Dan
Thank you Jesus
“He wouldn’t let anybody go to bed mad at each other” what a great father!
another story of what really made Marino great in the end. A quarterback that is overlooked who was really a great person is Joe Namath. When a town has these special people that is what it is all about.
I'm from the Chicago area and the first game I ever paid attention to was Marino shredding the Jets around 86ish. Been a Fins fan since and this 2023 Dolphins team gives me that old "Marino" excitement!
This 2023 might be special and they can have a nice 3 5 years run as long as they stay healthy and keep them together. Perfect mixture of vet and young hungry talent.

I was happy to be a Miami Dolphins fan with Dave Woodley as our QB. But when the GOAT got in 83, man, that just blew up my mind. So many memories. Simply the best!!
I was not a Dolphins fan, but as a kid who wanted the Redskins to lose Super Bowl XVII, I was not happy that you had Dave Woodley as your QB.
Props to Marino for turning down a boat load of $$ Minnesota tried throwing at him to go there instead of retiring.
He was & will always be a Miami Dolphin.
Keeping Don Shula that long cost him and the Dolphins a Super Bowl
I doubt dat Shula was saucy. So what u want Jimmy Johnson
@@user-it4yn9vz6c huh 😂
Unfortunately probably true. Very few coaches keep their job after a stretch of mediocrity like Miami had 1986-1989, but he'd gotten the team to 5 Super Bowls in 14 years so I can see why there was no hurry to get rid of him. Especially not back then.
The hiring of Gary Stevens and Tom Olivadotti as his coordinators in the late 1980s were a big mistakes.
I've also heard Don was never quite the same after his first wife died - never had quite the same passion.
@@jliller and idk if Jimmy Johnson was the correct guy to replace him
i said - way in another video - Shula's last moment was getting Marino. After that he wanted a well-deserved kinda retirement. He also clashed hard with Joe Robbie who did not want to buy talent to complete the team.
My best friend's sister fell asleep on his shoulder during a flight once. He didn't wake her up or anything. She apologized for falling asleep on his shoulder and he was very gracious. She didn't know who he was and he loved it. Lol.
man, when i hear these personal stories of these media stars acting so kindly to the public ..., it is balm to my heart. The great ones know the " fans " are part of their game. It is a terrible stress to constantly have your privay invaded.
Dan is the reason I became a Dolphins fan. Haven't stopped loving the team since, but it just hasn't been the same without him around.
I started watching the Miami Dolphins in the 1994 season. The thing about Marino at QB was that every game felt winnable. That Marino Magic meant so much for a fan, especially a new fan - to feel that even if the game was going badly there was still a real chance.
It got really hard to be a fan in some of the post-Marino years. It felt like the team had gone from always having a chance to never having a chance; that even when they were winning they were going to find some way to blow it.
You might not have Ever Won a NFL Championship, but Your a Champion in Our Family!! It was a Honor to watch You Play Dan Marino..😎
This is what saddens me about todays game. Kids wont grow up and see the players we had back before this new era. I dont care what you say those players were built different. These are football players. Aaron Rodgers is probably the last of the old school players. After hes retired thats it. Unless we bring back the old game the new fan will never get to see these once in a lifetime gridiron football player. Sad to say. The NFL is robbing its fanbase. Makes me proud of my parents for knocking boots back in the 80s.
The greatest man to ever throw a football in my life time. ❤
Having the ability to make quick decisions with a quick release is a crazy combination. Add on top of that, accuracy. Dan Marino was just crazy.
I've been a Dolphins fan since 91' (I was 6 years old) because of Dan Marino! Still the most talented QB of all time!
Dan never won a SB, but he's had a blessed life and career and is super wealthy.
There's no quarterback more deserving of a superbowl championship than Dan Marino. But he's bigger than that in life. A real life superman.
Marino was better than a lot of quaterbacks who did win a superbowl.
Born 87 n my dad always said Dan was his favourite player. Miami Dolphins was my team growing up till 97 after we visited Tampa! Go Bucs!
😂
greatest QB i've ever seen, bar none. and I grew up in the SF bay area thinking joe Montana was a god. on a side note, I can't help but feel marino's emotion when he speaks about his father. you can tell how close they were.
“You’re a real strange guy Ace…a real strange guy” -Dan Marino 🐬
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
Having a little trouble with the lady, Ace?
Ace?
Yeah Dan?
Where’d you get this gum?
That’s none of your damn business and I’ll thank you to keep your self out of my personal affairs
It's crazy that there's guys out there like Joe Flacco and Brad Johnson with a Superbowl ring and Marino never got one. Just how it works sometimes in sports.
This is such a disrespectful statement bro. Flacco is a god damn animal.
And Flacco didn’t just WIN the super bowl, he was the MVP.
Don’t forget garbage ass Trent Dilfer,.. 😂
@@JSalonskyokay, but he’s not even in the same stratosphere as Marino. This isn’t disrespectful to Flacco, it’s more a testament to Marino.
@@jacksonbond5336 I actually think it’s more of a testament to Flacco. How you can be a winner in this league regardless of your stats. (#16 all time in wins behind Jim Kelly and Terry Bradshaw). Let’s also not forget Flacco was the highest paid player at one point too. He actually revolutionized the position in a way.. what Jalen hurts does now throwing the ball up for AJ Brown.. Flacco started that with Boldin.
bruh. flacco has better post season numbers than farve and the "goat" rodgers...and over many, if not most, other SB winning QBs. ur a casual.
I watched Marino, growing up. Made me a football fan. Michael seems fine, seriously. 👍
As a PA guy.. He's literally the reason I'm a life-long Dolfan
What a virtuoso passer. What a leader, too. He's a good guy too.
the " good guy " thing is what makes him great. That is what puts him with the top of the greats.
His throwing motion and release is just a thing of beauty.
His foundation does incredible work. When his son spoke about it, I could not spot a single thing that said "he seems uncomfortable" or "this guy maybe is neurodivergent?" While a lot of that is due to conditional severity, it has to be said that the amount of polish and comfort in his speaking is superior to most people who do not have a natural aversion to social situations. And since its going against his nature, tis something that has to be taught, and wow did they teach it well.
He may not have won a superbowl. Someone that year would, no matter what. Without Dan, all those kids with autism wouldnt have found someone to help them. He won the game that really mattered.
honestly, that is the way i look at it. I understand people talking about his mechanics, but i think Dan was part of a superstar family and expressed that in the best way. Dan was so natural and nice, it really is crazy.
The Greatest Quarterback ever! Period!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 x100000000
I'm 35 years old. I've been a cowboys fan my entire life. Was a HUGE Troy Aikman fan. I remember being a child on Sunday afternoon. Waiting for the 425 afternoon cowboy game and caught the end of a dolphins game, and at that time i thought Troy was the best qb to ever throw a football, but I sat there and watched Marino and realized Aikman wasn't even on the same playing field. The way the ball came out of his hand was like an explosion, and ever since then. I was a huge Marino fan.
I will take Marino over Montana, Brady, Manning and anybody else any damn day of the week
Go ahead and take him I guarantee you you will only have some great regular season stats and ZERO rings
delusional. low bar.
and you would be fired as a GM in 3 seasons.
I 'took' DAN over his duffel, in college. Had him wear cheerleading outfit.
Cool story bro. Good luck winning a Super Bowl..EVER
Best arm ever , best passer in NFL history , a humble Gentleman , a Class Act , watching Him playing was just amazing , He made football more enjoyable 🐬, real tv show , special mention Dan Fouts = Air Curiel Chargers ✈️, I’m a CowBoy fan and I enjoy football 🏈 my respects
Still crazy how Jim Kelly had all that talent in Buffalo and somehow threw more INTs than TDs in the playoffs. If only Buffalo had a brilliant player like Marino or Elway leading the team in that era. They'd be one of the winningest football teams in history.
He threw 420 TD passes before the breakout passing era and he did it without a great RB or any all-time great WR. I can only imagine the crazy numbers Dan Marino would put up in today's game.
Imagine he took a year off like manning did and rested up in 1991 or 1992 and played on even 80% healthy knees. He would’ve won a Super Bowl I think 100%
So many thrills for Miami fans. So much heartbreak to not see this incredible Qback win a ring. He was unstoppable and broke all the records at one time. Needless to say, exciting to watch, even if not a HUGE football fan.
Only 3 players in history threw 5000 yards with less than 400 completions to do it! Mahomes-2018 (383), Winston-2019 (380), and Marino (363)!
He is the only QB in history to throw 5000 yards and average 9.0 yards or more per attempt. It goes to show that scheme, Marino's talent and those receivers were able to maintain that average all season! Other than Marino, only Mahomes in 2018 threw 5000 yards with less than 600 attempts with 580. Marino threw 564 to do it as well as 14.0 yds per reception by all of his receivers!
That Sugar Bowl game winning throw on 4th down is insane. Best arm ever.
He was a great foot ball 🏈 player I remember reading a book on him in elementary school he will always be the best QB ever 💪
A Marino Maniac I certainly was back in the late 80s and early mid to late 90s. This man was a Highlight Reel every single week. There wasn't a game I didn't not watch and said, HOLY CRAP THAT WAS INSANE! That's who Dan Marino truly was. Awe Inspiring.
Dan threw alot of INTs but he took chances QBs don’t take today especially with the deep ball
i know that is the true knock against Marino. he was not a great " reader " of the play, but when he made his mind up to throw, what thrilled " throwing " fans is that he seemed to able to throw to a very small opening.
It was a privilege to be a a Dolphins fan and watching Marino light up the NFL !!!His stats speak louder than super bowl trophies , vegas decides who wins the bowl anyway!!!
Dan needed a top running back that he could hand the ball off to to chew time off the clock and give his defense a rest. Many times he scored so quickly, the defense didn't get a lot of rest. Also, it is a crime that the Steelers had a chance to take the home town kid and passed on him. If they drafted him and he failed, you can point to his college days and say who would not have taken a chance on him.
The Steelers would have gotten at least 2 more championships if they picked Dan Marino.
He had a good Committee of Running Backs. That wasn't the problem. It was Marino being given so many attempts that he was bound to throw the INT that lost the game at times...and so he inevitably did so repeatedly.
Great QB...but back end of the Top Ten.
@@mr.cookie7308 Raiders passed on him too and their pick was right before the Dolphins.
@@justinlast2lastharder749interceptions??? O.j fumble mcduffie was a bigger problem.
This guy was unbelievable. Unbelievable. Top 3 pure passer. It's tragic that because his teams couldn't win a Superbowl he'll often be overlooked by people who didn't watch him play.
Very classy guy and a good dad. He's definitely a champ in my book.
61,000 yards in 17 years. He would have 80k in yardage in todays game.
and still wouldnt have won a SB.🤣
@@newagain9964 youre hilarious kiddo, in an are today with teaming up and picking your rosters, he would of easily won...
@@lintlickers easily won is a crazy statement to make. he would have 1 or 2 but easily ? that’s just foolish
@@jerraddennis2225yes easily won. stay in school kiddo.
And ZERO rings!!
He was like what Babe Ruth was to Baseball. An Everest in Kansas......
Marino saying “Yeah that’s why the position is hard” cracked me up. 😂
Zac Efron should play Marino in biopic
Thank you Dan. God damn what a ride. You made the NFL a real thing for a rugby loving welsh boy. Just the pure joy of watching you play.
As a lifelong Patriot fan, this guy terrorized my youth
His release was unbelievable. I also loved his command of the team. He was a fierce competitor.
If only he had a decent defense..
false. most of his years, dolphins D was well above avg.
@@newagain9964 false. They were bottom half of the league at best.
This is the player that got me into NFL and become a fan for life both him and the Dolphins.
Marino and JJ didn't get along... because they are the same ppl... Controlling......with different philosophies.....Had Marino broke in with JJ...instead of Shula....they would've won two or three titles together.......But Marino was a vet by the time they got together..and very much controlling.
As a die hard Raiders fan, there were many high scoring games between the Raiders and the Dolphins. Plunkett vs Marino. Tom Flores had a great record vs Don Shula. Dan Marino was fun to watch, with his laser throwing arm.
Giving Marino play calling duties was probably why he didn't win a Superbowl. He never ran the ball.
That’s why or at least part of the reason why it was taken away from quarterbacks although I’m not sure how much latitude Dan actually had. But yeah, you’re right quarterbacks are gonna always want to throw the ball.
What he did in the 80's is how the game is now. Only he got pummeled throwing so much. I can't even name an RB while he played. I'm sad his records were passed, but he was the torch bearer. Definitely deserved a ring.
You give Dan Marino a top 1 or top 3-5 or 10 defense like Brady had 17 of his 20 season he’s had on the Patriots, or his 2-3 years in Tampa Bay, he easily eclipses Brady if not gets as many championships/rings as him.
This stupid generation and Skip Bayless and all of the debate sports talk shows made rings the end all argument, without context.
-Rings are a TEAM accomplishment, individual player success are ACCOLADES. PERIOD.
He had better skill position guys than Brady most of his career and 2 hall of fame offensive lineman, so that helped him put up numbers. He also played in warm Florida unlike Brady playing in the cold up north region. There is absolutely ZERO chance he would win more that Tom Brady because he was a win by the sword fire by the sword gunslinger. He could never manage the game like Brady did. Hate Brady all you want but it’s extremely weak as a person to try and say all the stuff Brady accomplished would have easily been done by a lesser player than him. Marino all around out side of him amazing releasing was never ever the clutch player Brady was in the postseason! That’s what wins championships. Not gunslingers that come up small in the playoffs all the time.
Marino is a playoff choker and Brady was clutch performer in most of his playoff games, he choked far less than Marino. Stop comparing the two, Brady is far better than Dan Marino. 7 Superbowls > 0
unfortunately Brady - unlike Marino - is personally a terribly compromized person. Marino was a tremendous hero to society. that is what is important.
@@3512250 You telling the absolute truth!!
These are the facts that you conveniently fail to see about Marino.While you making all these excuses for him look at his stats in his 10 playoff losses he threw 15tds and 19ints so it wasn't just the defense's fault he basically choked in the playoffs
dan marino is one of like three guys who could absolutely tear up the league today, even with how much it's changed. that release speed will never be matched, the greatest to never win it all 😢
