I’m so happy to hear dan talk about the jet sweep. Such a bs stat. I live in KC so I watch the chiefs every week. In mahomes 50 td season he had 10 jet sweep td “passes”. Should count as a hand off. Dan wasn’t doing that bullshit back in the day
@@jimanderson7648 right but they line up in shotgun or pistol formation and then send Tyreek or Mecole in motion in front of Mahomes and he literally tosses it straight up right in front of him for just a millisecond instead of just handing it off so it counts as a pass.
Marino in his prime defeated the 85 Bears. He stood in the pocket and picked apart their defense, which was impossible to do since their defense blitz like no other and destroyed QBs. Imagine what Marino would do against today's defense and the rule changes that favors QBs lol. Easily 60 TDs and 6 to 7K yards.
There's a famous highlight of the super bowl 49ers vs Dolphins, where a 49er grabbed marino and literally picked him up in the air and piled drived him into the ground. today that would be a flag, maybe ejection from the game. Back then, play continued, no flag.
Bulshit the only reason of Dolphins won that game was because of fucking heat and humidity that they would have came to Chicago would have been another shut out by the way how many rings did Marino get yeah shut up
@@stevejohnson1397 When teams are great they say anytime, anywhere, no excuses, Marino lit the Bears up, take it like a man and give respect where respect is due. He would have thrashed em in Soldier too. I never heard a Bear whining about playing there. It was prime time and they didn't show up.
What Marino did in 84 with the receivers getting mugged down the field oh yeah at least 65 touchdowns 6500 yards ,also in the 1984 the rules are way tougher but you kids wouldn't know that because you didn't get to watch football back then, my first Superbowl 1978 Cowboys Steelers,
It goes beyond that. Imagine the extra opportunities on drive extending plays where QBs are so much as breathed on these days. This guys took his lumps along the way.
And I agree..... Marino was shredding records in a more physical era of the game... people like Howie Long, Bruce Smith, and of course LT looking to take your head off and he threw for 5,076 yds and 48 tds... incredible.... with today's rules protecting the QBs so much, he could have easily thrown over 60 tds....
Idk man I think the athletes today might make it harder then u think, if u look at the qbs now almost all of them are relatively fast, and defenses are much quicker
Today's NFL is like today's NBA you just can't compare the toughness to today. A guy like Marino in today's game would be eating it up. Just like a guy like Bird in today's NBA would be killing it. Marino threw for 5000 yards in the early 80s lol imagine with today's rules what he could do.
100% Marinos numbers in his day were INSANE for that time. Imagine a QB today throwing for 70 TDs and 7,000 yards. Thats what Marino was doing back then
The touchdown passes were insane, he broke the record by 12. But you also have to keep in mind that the NFL had not longer before that just moved to a 16 game schedule. Also, the yards record was not by THAT large a number. Dan Fouts had put up 4715 yards and 4802 in consecutive years right before Marino's 5084 yards. But yeah, I agree, he would probably put up some big numbers in today's game.
@@RobertBalto everyone would be chasing his numbers if he played today, no one was better than Marino. Also, he broke the TD record in 13 games so even if it was still a 14 game schedule, Dan beat it. The league didn't just switch to a 16 game schedule either, it switched to a 16 game schedule a good 7 years before Marino broke it and no one was even sniffing those numbers
Man I miss watching that dude play & I wasn't even a Dolphins fan. Sure he has no SB ring, but trust me, anyone who watched him play back in the day knows it wasn't because of him.
He absolutely would destroy the league the same way brees has and put up close to 50 tds a year for the simple fact he did all things he did without a true running game but he just didn't care Marino wanted all that responsibility when he was younger he didn't care what defense lined up against him his philosophy was let me do it my way put the ball in my hands when it's money time and I'm gonna take us to the promise land he was an all time great who gets forgotten because he didn't win the big one but I'd still put all my money on a prime Dan Marino in a heartbeat vs anyone not named belichek
With today's protections and rules, if Dan were to have started his career in 2018, by 2035 he would obliterate all of Brady's records by a country mile. What an absolute JOY it was to see Marino throughout his career - worth any ticket price!!!
Pound for Pound, Marino might be the best, relative to the era and rules in which he played in. It's close though, Rodgers and Marino definitely the most skilled imo. Mahomes maybe passes both someday. But it's a different game now for sure, guys like Marino and Moon would be in heaven with the rules today.
@@jzon-lb5zy As far as skill, yeah. It's a shame he didn't get the playing time like the other top QB's, he'd be up at the top with the numbers. Unfortunately he & Marcus Allen got shorted, who knows where they'd be if they got the playing time they deserved...
To put things in perspective, Marino smashed the TD passed record by 12...or rather 25 percent. iirc the record was 36 by Y.A. Title and George Blanda. It would be like someone coming along and throwing 68 in a season now and obliterating the current record. If truth be toldMarino could have thrown 60 even back then but Shula would insist on getting conservative and trying (in vane) to run the ball with big leads, which they would often blow. The Jets Game when they lost in overtime was a classic example. Up 45-38 and with the ball and a Marino hotter than ever, all they need to win the game is one first down. Three runs netted three yards followed by a punt and of course that defense couldn’t stop anyone so now it’s 45 all. Lost the coin toss and never saw the ball again. Miami 45-Jets 51. For all the numbers Marino put up in his prime, Shula still held him back. They should have just thrown in every down....
Should be noted that Blanda did 36 TD passes in 12 games and Tittle did 36 passes in 13 games (both were in 14 game seasons though). So adjusted for games played, Blanda would tie Marino and Tittle would be close. Still, what Dan did was amazing and everyone forgets he had another 40+ TD season in 1986 when he had 44.
Ya he left a lot to be desired there. I think it’s cause he is such a fan he got to excited and hopped around topics to fast before could get any good responses from Marino.
I was the biggest Dan Marino fan as a kid and I remember with marino if it was like 3rd and 17 it was like no problem. Made it look like it was 3rd and 7. Once he had an opportunity to step up in the pocket he was absolutely fantastic. Nowadays if its 3rd and 17 you might as well just punt on 3rd down. They'll do some 6 yard side line pass or something
If he was only ten years younger. And if he was traded to another team after he finished his contract in Miami. We'd get to see a real rivalry between Dan Marino and Tom Brady. That I'd pay good money to come and watch happen. Lol
Everyone talks about pi but really most important is the body slamming qbs and head shots to defenseless wrs was a D’s biggest weapons back then and both are completely gone from the game now. Marino woulda set records so high they wouldn’t even be close to being touched for 50 years now in this super protected players offense players league.
Watching the Bears in the 80s and 90s Dolphins games were usually on the national broadcast, Marino & the Dolphins quickly became my favorite AFC team.
In today's O-friendly schemes/rulings, Danno could probably aerate opposing DC schemes for 5700yds/63-65 tds @76% completion pct...w/out breaking a sweat!
I definitely miss the old NFL, the days when people can’t hit the quarterback as hard as they could and would not get a penalty. Guys would On the field definitely would hate each other and compete against each other to the best that they could. Now, players are buddies and talk about their wives and next week going golfing together during the game. Thankfully I had the chance to see Lawrence Taylor, Mike Alstott, Walter Payton, Dan Marino, John Elway, Ronnie Lott and other great players like that.
Marino was a fucking beast and would completely dominate the league today in this butter cup camp. Marino plaid in the era of lawlessness, when QBs would get killed.you know who would have lasted but a season? little tiny mahommes. that jet sweep shit, pssss stat padding crap. ALL wild west stats should have an asterisk next to their stat: pre protection.
If Dan Marino had two receivers downfield but the farther one had double coverage, he would throw a damned laser beam to the guy with double coverage and march down the field. Saw him do it many times, and absolutely dice a solid secondary to pieces. Being a Dolphins fan in the ‘80s and ‘90s was not for those with high blood pressure.
This man never had an elite receiver, never had a running game or a defense. Yet he still left the game holding pretty much every single QB record you could have. Sad he never won a title.
To put it in perspective John Elway Hall of Fame quarterback only through for 4000 yards once in his career today that is the minimum expectation so at least 6000 for Dan
@@chizorama I agree the NFL has become flag football. I was extremely passionate about the NFL at one time no not so much. It is sad to lose the passion and enthusiasm for something you once loved.
@@wheelchairmanjon I'm in the same boat, used to live, breath & eat the game. I still watch, but it's not the same & neither is my passion, & that sucks.

Guess they have to to keep things interesting, too bad they missed out when the game was more than "metrics".
I have no doubt in my mind. Add in the extra protections for QBs, with the high powered, pass heavy offenses you see today, and his release, which is still the fastest of all time, Dan would have been shredding them out there. He was so far ahead of his time as a passer. I think he could have found himself a Super Bowl.
Marino was the best pure passer of all time, and that really cannot be argued. He put up impossible numbers when the NFL actually let Db's play defense. Its truly insane.
Today’s quarterbacks are to protected by rules. Back in Marino’s day, quarterbacks would get destroyed. Marino has always been my favorite quarterback of all time
Dan marino was just SICK!! Plain and simple. If had a stable Ricky Williams when he was playing. Miami would damn sure woulda won super bowls best and believe!
I watched Marinos whole career and I would honestly say if he played today 60 is very very likely. He's probably the best pocket passer in the history. Not best QB but pocket passer in my opinion.
Pass along the line of scrimmage followed by a 60 yard run by the receiver = 60 yards in the passing stats. So much of "yards passing" today is YAC Those guys had to throw downfield to get that kind of yardage. It is a different game now for sure.
Can you imagine a competitor like Marino, Kelly or Elway playing with these crybaby millennial's in today's game? I honestly believe they would slap the crap out of them on the sidelines.
@Kaizaro123 THANK YOU!! I'm 32 so I'm a millennial but I wasn't raised soft like most kids I grew up with. I played little league and highschool baseball and I can remember my last year of little league I was 13 and I had one hell of a year individually but my team went 4-20 that year and after the last game a kid came up to the coach and said "do we get trophies this year?" and because I was voted team captain the coach looked at me and said "David you're the team captain do we get trophies?" I said "Trophies????" He smiled and said nothing else. He was the first coach I had that didn't give his team a participation trophy. I literally have none of the participation trophies that I was given my mother made sure I knew how ridiculous they were. I still have my individual awards and trophies plus a couple tournament trophies but anyway I just wanted to back up what you said with that story. Ive always felt out of place with people my own age because I was raised different than most kids I grew up with. I get a long better with people my parents age lol
Depends on his defense if he has a good defensive team then he would have 4,000 yard seasons because he would be sitting on the bench because his teams would be smashing his by the 3rd quarter.
I've never been a fan of the RPO offense. I think that started as a crutch for running QBs that couldn't hang in the pocket and read defenses past the first read.
When Marino counts the help he would get from today's RPOs, Dan Patrick doubts that fact because Marino doesn't have the running ability to make defenses respect the run part of the RPO. The RPO also encompasses the the WR/RB run-pass option. The QB has the option to hand off or pull the ball out and throw based off of what he sees. That would be a huge advantage with how he saw the field, processed his reads and released the ball.
Just think how many yards someone like Jonny Unitas would have had with todays rules. 40,000 lifetime yards passing back in the 50s and 60s when they would literally beat the sh#t out of QBs and maul the receivers, would equal a career of 65,000 for that QB today.
Marino was just ahead of his time. Defenses were still built mainly to stop the run game. Once the league caught up his numbers were nothing special. If he came in now he wouldn't be that great because he's the least mobile QB in history.
What would Dan Marino`s numbers be like today? Well pick an elite quarterback in today's game and Dan Marino would put up similar numbers. Those players are elite and Dan Marino would also be elite.
I'm probably the only dolphins fan who doesn't like Marino. I have a conspiracy he's been sabotaging the dolphins qbs since he left to hold the franchise records. People only remember him cause he's the last good dolphins qb. No coincidence
Dan - “I could throw 62 TD’s in today’s NFL”
Me - “I believe you”
I don't, I think it's way more

“Ok skip!”

Marino was the best pure passer of all time, and that really cannot be argued. He put up impossible numbers when the NFL actually let Db's play defense. Its truly insane.
Today’s quarterbacks are to protected by rules. Back in Marino’s day, quarterbacks would get destroyed. Marino has always been my favorite quarterback of all time
Dan marino was just SICK!! Plain and simple. If had a stable Ricky Williams when he was playing. Miami would damn sure woulda won super bowls best and believe!
“Once you retire there’s no going back”
I watched Marinos whole career and I would honestly say if he played today 60 is very very likely. He's probably the best pocket passer in the history. Not best QB but pocket passer in my opinion.
I still remember to this day that Randall threw it 77 yards in one of those QB challenges. Aikman threw it 69 in the same challenge
It’s true Dan is prob the best QB of all time from an arm talent perspective I’m a Marino fan and that’s saying a lot because I’m also a pats fan
I don’t care what anybody say. Dan the Man is the GOAT 💪
Marino could still throw a football up over them mountains
I love Dan Marino he’s my favorite football player in the hole world I love him so much
Cant name a single Hall of Famer that he played with skill position wise
Pass along the line of scrimmage followed by a 60 yard run by the receiver = 60 yards in the passing stats. So much of "yards passing" today is YAC Those guys had to throw downfield to get that kind of yardage. It is a different game now for sure.
He's not wrong.
Watching Dan Marino throw the ball is like watching Michelangelo paint the sistine chapel.
If Marino play today he would be 60 still throwing the ball.
Marino and Namath, quickest releases ever.
Can you imagine a competitor like Marino, Kelly or Elway playing with these crybaby millennial's in today's game? I honestly believe they would slap the crap out of them on the sidelines.
@Kaizaro123 THANK YOU!! I'm 32 so I'm a millennial but I wasn't raised soft like most kids I grew up with. I played little league and highschool baseball and I can remember my last year of little league I was 13 and I had one hell of a year individually but my team went 4-20 that year and after the last game a kid came up to the coach and said "do we get trophies this year?" and because I was voted team captain the coach looked at me and said "David you're the team captain do we get trophies?" I said "Trophies????" He smiled and said nothing else. He was the first coach I had that didn't give his team a participation trophy. I literally have none of the participation trophies that I was given my mother made sure I knew how ridiculous they were. I still have my individual awards and trophies plus a couple tournament trophies but anyway I just wanted to back up what you said with that story. Ive always felt out of place with people my own age because I was raised different than most kids I grew up with. I get a long better with people my parents age lol
All three would destroy the modern laughable excuse of a league the NFL has devolved to.
yes he could. with 6 or 7,000 yards passing each season.
Depends on his defense if he has a good defensive team then he would have 4,000 yard seasons because he would be sitting on the bench because his teams would be smashing his by the 3rd quarter.
Agreed. Kelly, Elway and Marino would have been in the 600+ career TDs.
Elway and Kelly were great quarterbacks but were not nearly as productive as Marino.
Greatest pure passer in the history of the league
Just make sure to keep the laces out Dan the Man!
They should do a senior exhibition games. The too NFL players that are say 50 years old to 65 play. It would be fun to watch.
And watch them all go down with injuries lol. I think a QB challenge would be more fun to watch with the old timers.
They would be taken out on stretchers before the first quarter is up.
I wouldn't bet against Dan Marino throwing for 65 TD's in a single season.
I've never been a fan of the RPO offense. I think that started as a crutch for running QBs that couldn't hang in the pocket and read defenses past the first read.
The greatest of all time. Thank you Dan the man13
Dan Marino was perhaps the greatest PASSER in the history of the game, but far from the greatest quarterback. Big difference.
I met Dan once & I gave him a beautiful leather jacket!
Lmaaoo
corinthian leather?
@@seanjoyce451 what else!
I bet he gave it away like Tony did😉
When Marino counts the help he would get from today's RPOs, Dan Patrick doubts that fact because Marino doesn't have the running ability to make defenses respect the run part of the RPO. The RPO also encompasses the the WR/RB run-pass option. The QB has the option to hand off or pull the ball out and throw based off of what he sees. That would be a huge advantage with how he saw the field, processed his reads and released the ball.
Just think how many yards someone like Jonny Unitas would have had with todays rules. 40,000 lifetime yards passing back in the 50s and 60s when they would literally beat the sh#t out of QBs and maul the receivers, would equal a career of 65,000 for that QB today.
6,000 and 60 tds in 2023 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Marino the GOAT
Marino was just ahead of his time. Defenses were still built mainly to stop the run game. Once the league caught up his numbers were nothing special. If he came in now he wouldn't be that great because he's the least mobile QB in history.
he ain't lying
What would Dan Marino`s numbers be like today? Well pick an elite quarterback in today's game and Dan Marino would put up similar numbers. Those players are elite and Dan Marino would also be elite.
I believe him
Try 70 Dan!!!
Dan: when I was in highschool...
He's not lying
Screen passes and dump offs inflate stats. If a qb goes downfield it means he's got a huge set.
I'm probably the only dolphins fan who doesn't like Marino. I have a conspiracy he's been sabotaging the dolphins qbs since he left to hold the franchise records. People only remember him cause he's the last good dolphins qb. No coincidence
I seen Marino play on Monday night vs John Elway in Miami and again vs Payton Manning and the colts. Dan got hurt and Kosar came in
Marino is my GOAT
