His Super Bowl was beating the Bears in '85. I watched that game as a huge Bears fan of many years knowing he'd shred the 4-6 defense. It was tough to watch. But Dan was just awesome.
At 25 years old, I remember watching his retirement press conference while at work.....tears running down my face. My entire football world was destroyed. The NFL, and my Miami Dolphins, has never been the same for me. I can't even watch an entire game.
Best pure passer the game has ever known... pure and simple, he never had a great team around him.. good but never great... he was a once in a generation talent
he took so many last second hits and ended up on the ground for a completion. and played so many seasons on "glass" knees. how many consecutive games after taking a sunday beating 16-17 (bye) weeks in a row???
Farve surpassed him born in 1969 , No generation passed before a another prolific passer was born .Namath was the first pure passer on bad knees , he had a beautiful throwing motion with a tight spiral .
Dan Marino is my favorite QB of all time and I believe he is the greatest QB of all time even without a Superbowl. I wish my Bears would have Drafted Dan Marino in the 83 Drafted! Could you imagine Marino playing for the 85 Bears team with that Defense and playing along with the Great Walter Payton? if that would of happened he would have Won alot of Superbowls championships.
I cant imagine our dear Dan in any other team. Dan belongs to the Miami Dolphins. Allen Iverson was also my favorite nba player never won a tittle. Dont care
Bears fan here too. Dan became my favorite QB his first year in the NFL and after he got snubbed in the draft. i'm probably wrong but it seem like they couldn/t put a good enough defense on the field that could stop the other team when they were on the field 2/3 of the game cause the Dolphins would score in 4-7 plays or only need to get a couple first downs per drive instead of grinding it out on the ground.

Best pure passer of all time, he Is my all time favorite player 1994 to 1999 I enjoyed watching any and every game I could see him play in. I still think had they beat san Diego in that divisional round in 1994 they would've gotten to the super bowl against the 49ers. Their owner bought a world series in 1997 too bad he didn't the same for my dolphins
Best Passer of All time. No QB in NFL History has put the fear of God into NFL defenses the way Marino did. Only one other player ever put that type of fear into other teams and that was Michael Jordan
I do agree 100% with Gifford anyone who thinks Marino isn’t great cause he didn’t win a ring those people don’t know great players. Dan Marino can play on my team any day.
you know how the 49ers shut down the Great Dan Marino and that super bowl? then we couldn't run the ball so they just sat in the nickel. nothing great about Dan Marino except his ego.
No QB has come into the League with a better chance to succeed than Dan Marino did as a Rookie. He was drafted by a Team that had just played in the Super Bowl, they were No.1 on Defense for Least Points Allowed, their running backs had OVER 2,000 yds. rushing, and they had the best coach in the NFL.
Dan did play very good and led them to the S.B. in '84, but his overall success in the playoffs in those 1st three years was really nothing. His playoff record for those 3 years was only 3-3, and he earned only 1 Ring-the '84 Conference Championship Ring. And as it turned out, he was in his prime in those years as well.
I remember those years. I ate, slept, and breathed every single game I could watch. The highs and lows were absolutely incredible. Dan and his offense would score 30 or more points only to lose the game in the last waning seconds. I truly believe if Coach Shula could have kept Bill Arnsparger instead of Tom Olivadotti we would have gone to the Super Bowl again and won. Our defense was the #1 reason for losing our games. It was and still is a frustrating thing to be a Dolfans fan, regardless Dan Marino always gave us hope that this might be the year.
Of the 10 QBs on NFL's 100th Anniversary Team, Marino is the only one without a ring. The other 9 QBs combined for 26 rings (Brady 7, Montana 4, Graham 3, Unitas 3, Elway 2, Manning 2, Staubach 2, Baugh 2, Favre 1), an average of 2.89/per. With only 1 MVP, he beat out several championship HOF QBs to get on the team, most notably Terry Bradshaw (1 MVP, 2 SB MVPs, 4 rings), Bart Starr (1 MVP, 2 SB MVPs, 5 rings) and Young (2 MVPs, 1 SB MVP, 3 rings). Factoring out the ring, that speaks a lot about Marino's greatness as a passer.
Drafted by the defending AFC champions, and he never made them any better than that. In fact he only got them back where they were without him once in 17 seasons. His career highlight came in a November game against the Jets.
Watching him play in college football I knew he would be on a great team in the NFL he was a great quarterback that never had the complete offense he needed with the running game they would have been unstoppable.
Was at that game and wearing my Marino Dolphin shirt and go yelled up spit on but a the end of the game everyone was high fives because we were at one of the best NFL games in history.
When I look back into time and I really try and think about Dan Marino here is what seems to dominate my mind. It's the thought of the Buffalo Bill's. Some consider Kelly to be Dan's equal and it is a legitimate argument. The rest of the Bill's were so damn good too. Offense and defense stacked and they played together year in and year out built a team with chemistry. Buffalo late in the season was serious problem. People forget how hard it was to beat the Bill's in that weather in that temp let alone match up with them player for player. Good luck
People fail to realize just how much the rules have changed in the passing game since Marino retired. Had those rules been in place when Marino was still playing, I dare say he would still hold all those records. Proof? Well, he sure as hell held all those records BEFORE all those rules changed & ain't nobody came close to catching him then. There's your proof right their. Just saying.
@@christophermullaley1597 Name ANY quarterback in NFL History who had a better 1st 3 years of his career ? And named NFL MVP in his 2nd year ! I’LL WAIT ! ! !
I remember when Dan Marino was in college, and a writer said he was as mature as a veteran quarterback and could immediately step into a starting role. What would have happened if he had been picked by a different team? What if his new team sensed they needed a running attack, defense, and special teams like any other team with a great quarterback?
The Dolphins were so good for so long that they never got top picks the whole time he was playing. Even Marino was a late 1st round pick. The picks they did make were not great either. Shula was too loyal to his coaches also. That defensive coordinator should’ve been gone early in Dans time. The Dolphins scored way to many points to lose so many times. If he played today, there would be no records he wouldn’t own. Plus he wouldn’t need that top back or big running game like they did then. But scoring wasn’t the problem, never was. How many times Marino had a late drive just to leave 1 min on the clock and lose. It was disgusting.
I’m a die hard Bear fan this makes me sick to my stomach, back in 1983 the Bears was planning on drafting Dan Marino in one of 2 first round picks with HOF left tackle Jim Covert but Bears VP demanding they take WR Willie Gault because they already had a half blind QB Jim McMahon. If the bears had drafted Dan Marino with RB Walter Payton in the backfield along with that defense the Bears would have at least three rings 😭
if you want to see NFL QB at its best... check out Marino v '85 Bears (all-time team and defense) defending the Dolphin's Perfect Record, by halftime the Bears Head Coach and Def Coordinator were fighting over how to defend Marino... fax!!!
I disagree with what their saying about (you need to be able to run the ball) well they could have tried and they did have a decent running game occasionally for a few seasons and they had byers who was a fullback who could run and (catch)! I think a consistent running game could have helped but a defense would have helped a lot more!
One of those situations where, I mean, Hey!!!, I'm not going to hold not having a Super Bowl against him... Marino, is in my top 5 all-time...TB12 is the GOAT, he stands above top 5 arguments...1. Montana, 2. P. Manning, 3. P. Mahomes, 4. Elway, 5. Marino...
I love my Phins, but why did they refuse to get him a running game for his whole career! Ridiculous front office decisions...I wonder why Shula didn't do something about it
Even if he was on coke cant deny the talent was there yet everyone was surprised when he first started! Steelers decided to go with Cliff Stoudt instead wtf
Marino!...Marino!!...Marino!!!...Man!, We love and appreciate the Great, Great, Quarterbacks, we do...then you have a few teams, ala the Colts w/Andrew Luck, the Redskins w/RG III and, of course the Dolphins w/Marino who neglects them... it's just unfortunate!!! Man... for Christ's sake!!!
If you think Marino did a lot without much, boy let me tell you about some guy named John Elway. In fact, compare the first team All Pros around them: First 12 years of their careers on offense: Miami: 6 Denver: 1 (Shannon Sharpe, 1993)
@@ingurlund9657 Exactly. I'm not saying Marino was bad, because he was incredible and his numbers are lost to this explosion of offense. Yet, if you played Denver in the 1980s to 1995, you were playing the Denver Elways, and their coach, Dan "Three Yards and a Cloud of Dust" Reeves. And he still got them three AFC Championships. If you were playing Miami you were playing a good team and a HOF QB, coached by a true legend. Once Elway got a little help, his last three years speak for themselves: 39-9, 6-1 in playoffs, 2x Super Bowls. Marino was a great QB. John Elway was the greatest QB to ever play the game. Brady may be the most accomplished, but John played in 5 Super Bowls, won two, and retired as #2 in virtually every statistical category and was the winningest QB in history despite being the most sacked. And finally showed why he was the greatest prospect in NFL history, and the embodiment of the perfect lab creation QB. He has the numbers AND the post season success, AND the rushing numbers, something only Peyton Manning and Tom Brady had two of after him, and no one else in history had. No one else in history combines those three PLUS the durability to do it all in an era before ruled allowed QBs to avoid any contact. And oh, he was either #1 or 1A all time in fourth quarter comebacks. If I had to have one *QB for a career: Tom Brady *QB for one regular season game: Peyton Manning *QB for one post season game: Joe Montana *QB for one play: Aaron Rogers *QB for one 4th quarter: Roger Staubach Number 2 on everyone of my lists? Is John Elway. He is the most complete QB in history.
@@americankulak2294 Heavily contrived analysis. Name the guys that made all-pro other than Marino after his second season in 1984. Your count is based solely on his rookie year, when by the way Elway was terrible, and Marino's second season. Marino's team was far worse than Elway's 1985 to 1991
@@americankulak2294 The difference is Elway had stout defensive support and Marino didn't. In addition to that Marks brothers were overrated as HELL. They were midgets who dropped every pass Marino sent their way in the playoffs. It's a shame he was stuck with those bums for as long as he was.
@@JustNeedaBeerandPark It was never going to happen. Marino and Johnson did not like each other. Wayne Huzengia was a terrible owner and as a Dolphins I would take 100 Jerry Jones over Wayne Huzengia. The way Wayne Huzengia and JJ disrespected Shula his last year was flat out awful and disrespectful. You never cross Don Shula but Huzengia and Johnson did and a small portion of Dolphins did. I’m a believer in karma and Huzengia and JJ and those Dolphins fans that wanted JJ as HC had everything coming there way that’s why when 62-7 happen I was like good they all deserve it. JJ actually quit on the team twice after the beat down against the Broncos he quit and Stupid Wayne Huzengia brings him back because JJ wanted Wannstead to be his Successor and Huzengia said sure. The team basically quit against the Jaguars which actually I was happy they did cause JJ deserved it and quit again like the quitter/loser he is.

I was at his HOF induction in 2005 we were at the hotel staying there with all the HOF players rules were you couldn’t ask for autographs only take photos with them. I got pics with Franco Harris & Bob Griese, Roger Staubach, Anthony Munoz For some reason I kept bumping into Jack Youngblood the ex Ram & my mother kept seeing Marino & anyway cause we were hotel guest we could walk anywhere but people who weren’t guest could come into the hotel but they were staying behind the ropes. Everyone went over to the ropes Tony Dorsett, Steve Young, Bob Griese etc well the people kept calling Dan over he said tomorrow guys. Everyday then later in the weekend we see a tent set up outside after the HOF parade & inside a few Hall of Famers in there signing Dan was one but $200+ for a autograph & plenty more for inscriptions. I was disappointed in Dan cause it was all money when other guys I saw in front of me people asking at the hotel & they would sign then NFL security would come by & say no autographs & chase the people off.
Not winning a Super Bowl is one thing. That happens. But he never even made it back to another Super Bowl. He only played in 3 AFC Championships in his whole career. The Dolphins weren’t that bad. He had an All time great head coach in Don Shula. Marino is Overrated. A stiff with a rocket arm. That made no one around him better. Elway took 3 average Bronco teams to Super Bowls.
That's what I was thinking. Have you noticed that when people talk about Brady and Montana it's mostly about what they did in the playoffs. When people talk about Marino it's always about what he did in regular season. He doesn't have any memorable moments in the playoffs. In fact he really didn't play that well at all in the playoffs. How can you be truly great just based on what you do in regular season. BIG DEAL
Why Marino never went back to the super bowl after the 1984 season 1- Buffalo Bills🦬 (Miami lost to Jim Kelly’s teams in the 1990,1992 & 1995 playoffs) Jim Kelly had a better defense (Bruce Smith/Cornelius Bennett/Daryl Talley) a better offense (Will Wolford/Thurman Thomas/Andre Reed) 2- Marino never had a pro bowl running back (Sammy Smith; Abdul-Jabbar; Pritchett) 3- the only time Marino’s Dolphins had a good defense was the year of 1998 - The Dolphins finished with the number one defense thanks to Jimmy Johnson (when they had Zach Thomas at linebacker Jason Thomas at DE Brock Marion at free safety Terrell Buckley at cornerback Patrick Surtain at cornerback Sam Madison at cornerback Tim Bowen’s at nose tackle)
Not exactly, the important reason IMO is because when it was winning time... Meaning Playoffs: Dan Marino was never at his best you notice during this documentary all of his best highlights took place in the regular season not the playoffs. Great Quarterback no doubt but he was overrated.
The defense in 1983 (his rookie season) was no slouch. It was the #1 scoring defense. It had the Defensive Player of the Year in Doug Betters, plus All-Pro Bob Baumhauer. It was just a year after the top-ranked Killer Bees defense that made the Super Bowl. Unfortunately they got upset by the Seahawks in the playoffs.
@@davep1103 Buffalo, Kansas City virtually have no run game, but you don’t see the media clamoring for them to run the ball, Marino changed the QB position: If you have a Super QB the offense is centered around his arm.

When I look back into time and I really try and think about Dan Marino here is what seems to dominate my mind. It's the thought of the Buffalo Bill's. Some consider Kelly to be Dan's equal and it is a legitimate argument. The rest of the Bill's were so damn good too. Offense and defense stacked and they played together year in and year out built a team with chemistry. Buffalo late in the season was serious problem. People forget how hard it was to beat the Bill's in that weather in that temp let alone match up with them player for player. Good luck
Dan the Man!!
Thanks for sharing this video!
People fail to realize just how much the rules have changed in the passing game since Marino retired. Had those rules been in place when Marino was still playing, I dare say he would still hold all those records. Proof? Well, he sure as hell held all those records BEFORE all those rules changed & ain't nobody came close to catching him then. There's your proof right their. Just saying.
Best Miami Dolphin Ever
Best that ever did it
2nd best.

Name ANY quarterback in NFL History who had a better 1st 3 years of his career ? And named NFL MVP in his 2nd year !
I’LL WAIT ! ! !
I remember that game against the jags. I am still not over it.
That was 25 years ago! Be over it bro
He would have a plethora of rings playing the NFL version of the CFL - ahead of his time - along with warren moon and jim kelley -
Don't matter about no chip .....still a great great player.Christ you need the patience of a saint to deal with American sports media.
imagine if he had a defense and running game.
One the best passers the game has seen. Wasn’t the same after the Achilles injury.
He was the greatest I was 19 years old when he retired I cried like a baby I new it was over for miami
Breaks my heart he never won the big game
Football is nothing more than entertainment..and Marino put on a show..
I remember when Dan Marino was in college, and a writer said he was as mature as a veteran quarterback and could immediately step into a starting role. What would have happened if he had been picked by a different team? What if his new team sensed they needed a running attack, defense, and special teams like any other team with a great quarterback?
He was something special
I always thought Pastorini was physically the toughest QB ever, but I honestly overlooked how tough Marino was.
Bradshaw was a tough guy, too.
G-O-A-T….
The class of 83 Marino , kelly, elway
Great QB
That would be so hard walking away from a child thats dying I can certainly understand that effecting Marino.
1st CLASS
The Dolphins were so good for so long that they never got top picks the whole time he was playing. Even Marino was a late 1st round pick. The picks they did make were not great either. Shula was too loyal to his coaches also. That defensive coordinator should’ve been gone early in Dans time. The Dolphins scored way to many points to lose so many times. If he played today, there would be no records he wouldn’t own. Plus he wouldn’t need that top back or big running game like they did then. But scoring wasn’t the problem, never was. How many times Marino had a late drive just to leave 1 min on the clock and lose. It was disgusting.
How many Super Bowls did Dan Marino win?
30:38
Marino’s fake spike 🏈
GOAT.
In today's game teams can be one dimensional and win Super Bowls. Marino was too far ahead of his time.
34:00: Facts.
I feel bad for the Pittsburgh Steelers family for not drafting him. He would have won 3-5 SB rings for sure.
They call it the GOAT now (including the title)/ Marino w/out doubt is the best ever to play the pisition/!
Balance running and passing
The Don with a subtle FU to Paul Zimmerman !
I’m a die hard Bear fan this makes me sick to my stomach, back in 1983 the Bears was planning on drafting Dan Marino in one of 2 first round picks with HOF left tackle Jim Covert but Bears VP demanding they take WR Willie Gault because they already had a half blind QB Jim McMahon. If the bears had drafted Dan Marino with RB Walter Payton in the backfield along with that defense the Bears would have at least three rings 😭
if you want to see NFL QB at its best... check out Marino v '85 Bears (all-time team and defense) defending the Dolphin's Perfect Record, by halftime the Bears Head Coach and Def Coordinator were fighting over how to defend Marino... fax!!!
I disagree with what their saying about (you need to be able to run the ball) well they could have tried and they did have a decent running game occasionally for a few seasons and they had byers who was a fullback who could run and (catch)! I think a consistent running game could have helped but a defense would have helped a lot more!
He was like the offensive version of Duck Butkus. Great at what he did, but never fortunate enough to win a title.
Butkus never got to a Playoff game. that flippin' sucks.
He would not allow a running
Serves him right
Grease threw 7 passes
Class act too, God doesn't make them like that anymore, JJ ruined his career
One of those situations where, I mean, Hey!!!, I'm not going to hold not having a Super Bowl against him... Marino, is in my top 5 all-time...TB12 is the GOAT, he stands above top 5 arguments...1. Montana, 2. P. Manning, 3. P. Mahomes, 4. Elway, 5. Marino...
At least, he got the opportunity to play at the Superbowl. He lost, unfortunately.
The 49ers were loaded with talent. No team beat them in the eighties in the Superbowl.
I love my Phins, but why did they refuse to get him a running game for his whole career! Ridiculous front office decisions...I wonder why Shula didn't do something about it
Should have left Miami, they didn't give him what he needed.
Bob Griese Dan Marino dolphin greats
To say it, but shula rode his coat tale.
If Marino had Ricky Watters he a bca champion
Even if he was on coke cant deny the talent was there yet everyone was surprised when he first started! Steelers decided to go with Cliff Stoudt instead wtf
Marino!...Marino!!...Marino!!!...Man!, We love and appreciate the Great, Great, Quarterbacks, we do...then you have a few teams, ala the Colts w/Andrew Luck, the Redskins w/RG III and, of course the Dolphins w/Marino who neglects them... it's just unfortunate!!! Man... for Christ's sake!!!
If you think Marino did a lot without much, boy let me tell you about some guy named John Elway. In fact, compare the first team All Pros around them:
First 12 years of their careers on offense:
Miami: 6
Denver: 1 (Shannon Sharpe, 1993)
When Elway got partnered with a great running back he won 2 Superbowls. Before that he didn't.
@@ingurlund9657 Exactly. I'm not saying Marino was bad, because he was incredible and his numbers are lost to this explosion of offense. Yet, if you played Denver in the 1980s to 1995, you were playing the Denver Elways, and their coach, Dan "Three Yards and a Cloud of Dust" Reeves. And he still got them three AFC Championships. If you were playing Miami you were playing a good team and a HOF QB, coached by a true legend. Once Elway got a little help, his last three years speak for themselves: 39-9, 6-1 in playoffs, 2x Super Bowls. Marino was a great QB. John Elway was the greatest QB to ever play the game. Brady may be the most accomplished, but John played in 5 Super Bowls, won two, and retired as #2 in virtually every statistical category and was the winningest QB in history despite being the most sacked. And finally showed why he was the greatest prospect in NFL history, and the embodiment of the perfect lab creation QB. He has the numbers AND the post season success, AND the rushing numbers, something only Peyton Manning and Tom Brady had two of after him, and no one else in history had. No one else in history combines those three PLUS the durability to do it all in an era before ruled allowed QBs to avoid any contact. And oh, he was either #1 or 1A all time in fourth quarter comebacks. If I had to have one
*QB for a career: Tom Brady
*QB for one regular season game: Peyton Manning
*QB for one post season game: Joe Montana
*QB for one play: Aaron Rogers
*QB for one 4th quarter: Roger Staubach
Number 2 on everyone of my lists? Is John Elway. He is the most complete QB in history.
@@americankulak2294 Heavily contrived analysis. Name the guys that made all-pro other than Marino after his second season in 1984. Your count is based solely on his rookie year, when by the way Elway was terrible, and Marino's second season. Marino's team was far worse than Elway's 1985 to 1991
@@americankulak2294 The difference is Elway had stout defensive support and Marino didn't. In addition to that Marks brothers were overrated as HELL. They were midgets who dropped every pass Marino sent their way in the playoffs. It's a shame he was stuck with those bums for as long as he was.
Sad
Ring no Ring, greatest QB ever plan & simple.
Not better than Montana or Brady
@@pp3k3jamail Better than both.
Wayne Huzingea or the GM should've sat down with both Marino and JJ...to iron out their difference. This falls on them.
I'm pretty sure JJ was the GM too...
@@joeblough261 Okay.....They should say down.....like Jerry West did Kobe/Shaq....Curse both of them out religiously.
@@JustNeedaBeerandPark It was never going to happen. Marino and Johnson did not like each other. Wayne Huzengia was a terrible owner and as a Dolphins I would take 100 Jerry Jones over Wayne Huzengia. The way Wayne Huzengia and JJ disrespected Shula his last year was flat out awful and disrespectful. You never cross Don Shula but Huzengia and Johnson did and a small portion of Dolphins did. I’m a believer in karma and Huzengia and JJ and those Dolphins fans that wanted JJ as HC had everything coming there way that’s why when 62-7 happen I was like good they all deserve it. JJ actually quit on the team twice after the beat down against the Broncos he quit and Stupid Wayne Huzengia brings him back because JJ wanted Wannstead to be his Successor and Huzengia said sure. The team basically quit against the Jaguars which actually I was happy they did cause JJ deserved it and quit again like the quitter/loser he is. Was never a believer in the JJ hype but unfortunately Wayne Huzengia and a small portion believed he was better than Shula which obviously was not the case.
Let's not forget, Jim Kelly never won a super bowl either and he went there 3 more times than Dan.
Jimmy wanted to run the ball well draft a good running Back he didn't. John Avery was a 1st round pick enough said.
For any reporter to pin SB ? is nonsense. Team!!!!
Dan the Man is the GOAT 🐐 imo but he probably should have taken a pay cut like Jimmie Johnson wanted him to

RIP HANK GOLDBERG
I met Goldberg and he was a scumbag
Didn’t he have a secret life and a woman on the side?
Why do people admire this?
Society has some messed up values.
He got drafted in the first round yet it was tragic!!
I was at his HOF induction in 2005 we were at the hotel staying there with all the HOF players rules were you couldn’t ask for autographs only take photos with them. I got pics with Franco Harris & Bob Griese, Roger Staubach, Anthony Munoz
For some reason I kept bumping into Jack Youngblood the ex Ram & my mother kept seeing Marino & anyway cause we were hotel guest we could walk anywhere but people who weren’t guest could come into the hotel but they were staying behind the ropes. Everyone went over to the ropes Tony Dorsett, Steve Young, Bob Griese etc well the people kept calling Dan over he said tomorrow guys. Everyday then later in the weekend we see a tent set up outside after the HOF parade & inside a few Hall of Famers in there signing Dan was one but $200+ for a autograph & plenty more for inscriptions. I was disappointed in Dan cause it was all money when other guys I saw in front of me people asking at the hotel & they would sign then NFL security would come by & say no autographs & chase the people off.
Interesting
Not winning a Super Bowl is one thing. That happens. But he never even made it back to another Super Bowl. He only played in 3 AFC Championships in his whole career. The Dolphins weren’t that bad. He had an All time great head coach in Don Shula. Marino is Overrated. A stiff with a rocket arm. That made no one around him better. Elway took 3 average Bronco teams to Super Bowls.
That's what I was thinking. Have you noticed that when people talk about Brady and Montana it's mostly about what they did in the playoffs. When people talk about Marino it's always about what he did in regular season. He doesn't have any memorable moments in the playoffs. In fact he really didn't play that well at all in the playoffs. How can you be truly great just based on what you do in regular season. BIG DEAL
Why Marino never went back to the super bowl after the 1984 season
1- Buffalo Bills🦬 (Miami lost to Jim Kelly’s teams in the 1990,1992 & 1995 playoffs) Jim Kelly had a better defense (Bruce Smith/Cornelius Bennett/Daryl Talley) a better offense (Will Wolford/Thurman Thomas/Andre Reed)
2- Marino never had a pro bowl running back (Sammy Smith; Abdul-Jabbar; Pritchett)
3- the only time Marino’s Dolphins had a good defense was the year of 1998 - The Dolphins finished with the number one defense thanks to Jimmy Johnson (when they had Zach Thomas at linebacker Jason Thomas at DE Brock Marion at free safety Terrell Buckley at cornerback Patrick Surtain at cornerback Sam Madison at cornerback Tim Bowen’s at nose tackle)
Not exactly, the important reason IMO is because when it was winning time... Meaning Playoffs: Dan Marino was never at his best you notice during this documentary all of his best highlights took place in the regular season not the playoffs.
Great Quarterback no doubt but he was overrated.
And they lost divisional in 1983 they had a top ranked defense also and lost to Seattle . .
The defense in 1983 (his rookie season) was no slouch.
It was the #1 scoring defense. It had the Defensive Player of the Year in Doug Betters, plus All-Pro Bob Baumhauer. It was just a year after the top-ranked Killer Bees defense that made the Super Bowl.
Unfortunately they got upset by the Seahawks in the playoffs.
Ignorant Fans: Marino didn’t have a run game or good defense
Today’s NFL: 👀
And if people would see and know that fact......
THEY’D STOP THE HATING !
@@davep1103 Buffalo, Kansas City virtually have no run game, but you don’t see the media clamoring for them to run the ball, Marino changed the QB position: If you have a Super QB the offense is centered around his arm.
@@fivehundrediq5212 What are you talking about? Buffalo had Thurman Thomas, Chiefs had Marcus Allen.

3:00 Yup, that's Danny, his teammates were never good enough for him and he'd let everyone know.
It's a shame Don Shula couldn't put a team of players around Marino. Shula was not the genius people made him out to be.

Too many people ignore objective evidence with these players and go off of what they or analysts feel they should be even when presented with facts they tend to ignore. I try and base my opinion on real information.
Most people like to troll or spew nonsensical rhetoric. I don't have time for bush league lazy analysis perpetrated by casuals and fanboys.
elway was way better!
one word describes Dan Marino... narcissist... he wasn't going to hand the ball off. he wasn't going to share his backfield with a big star you can blame the front office all you want to it was him. I was at his last game his last playoff choke. I enjoyed watching my jaguars send him off into the sunset. one last playoff chokee before he went on his way 😁
Your jags have no Superbowls trophies. At least the Dolphins have 2 Super bowl trophies. I'm sure laughing.
