dan marino is the best qb of all time he has the mose records of any qb the only thing that poeple talk about when speaking of him is his lack of a superbowl ring well who gives a hell he had no team at all we had no defense and we had no running back what was he suppose to do with this he could do nothing so he played his best and just him alone almost won us a superbowl he is the number 1 quarterback ever there is no doubt in my mind if he was on a different team he would of had at least 3 rings

Yeah, ok. A lot of physical talent but I never thought he was that bright. Seemed like he could do everything but win.

Dan is the best QB of all time. If you put Terrell Davis in the backfield with him, they win at least 3 rings.

He never won a superbowl, but he was one hell of a QB. Did things we will never see again. Just based on his Comebacks, Talent, and just overall Statistic's Marino gets 5 Stars.

Dan Marino 4

I can only give out a four on account of the lack of a championship. His stats are spoken of at great length, but the numbers are what they are because he was forced to be the offense. If he ever had a title caliber team around him his numbers would be down but his success would be up. This success is what I measure, not some numbers on paper.

UPDATE: Who's ridiculous? I just took a dump on the legend of Elway! Marino has undenyable talent for sure, but piling up stats on bad teams is something I can only stand in my fantasy football league and I don't even think he was as good as the apple polishers say. If I did he'd have the same five that I gave Barry Sanders. That being said I still gave him a four, so please don't act like I have no sense just because I won't bow down to the guy...

No question he is a 5-star QB. Anyone saying less or using the term "choker" is ridiculous. Whether he is the best or not, there is absolutely no question he could pass the football with the best of all-time. Best pure passer, quickest release, incredible accuracy, couldn't really scramble but had good moves inside the pocket, what more do you want? Super bowl rings are a team accomplishment. Anyone knocking Dan down for not having won one is just looking for an excuse. Trent Dilfer has one. Is he better than Dan then? Ridiculous...

well if he played well in all the playoff games, and then didn't play well in the supebowl only mean that he choked... and when you say look at his stats they mean nothing if you can't take your team and win a superbowl, in my eyes he is the biggest "choker" of all time....

Did all he could with what he had and has the stats to show how good he is. Counting rings is idiotic. I guess Teddy Bruschi was a better linebacker than Dick Butkus or Lawrence Taylor ever were, he does have more rings. I guess Johnny Damon could kick Ted Williams' and Ty Cobbs' ass at baseball. I guess Robert Parish would have schooled Wilt Chaimberlain. Championships require teammates. One man alone cannot win them. Put Marino in Denver or San Francisco and I guarantee he wins championships. Can't you people see how stupid the only knock he has on him is? He went to one Super Bowl, and he didn't play his best there. Just about every other playoff game he was in was up to the standards of the greats. Take away Coach Walsh, Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, Ronnie Lott, etc. from Joe Montana and Marino wins. Now Joe was a great quarterback. Maybe the best ever. But he always had that supporting cast to really let him shine, something Marino rarely, if ever, had.

Greatest QB of the modern era...easily. The only person that may come close to his career stats is Peyton, and not if he has a lot of seasons like he is having this year. Marino not only had great seasons, he had them consistently. Favre is still 10000 yds behind Marino, and I don't see him catching him before he retires. As others have posted, Marino had no support. You can't tell me having a team around is unimportant. You can't tell me that Montana having the greatest WR in the history of football or Roger Craig on his team did not help him win Superbowls. Football is a team effort, and Marino carried his team as much as any single man could. Give him Rice, Craig, Clark, Terrell Davis, etc., and he gets the Miami Dolphins several Superbowls.

Dan Marino 5

The Best QB ever. With no defense and no running back to speak of he singlehandedly kept Miami Dolphins a contender. Consider this: only one losing season (6-10 in 1988) throughout his entire 17-year spell. During that spell, Miami defense is worse than 20th EVERY YEAR in both yeards allowed and points scored (except the last two years) During that spell, not a single Miami RB gets 1000 yards a season! The best, Mark Higgs, had 920. Only once in his 17-years career, the total Dolphins running game amount to more than 1750 yards. This was 1918 in his first season. Simply put, if Marino were on 49ers, he would win 6-7 Super Bowls. If Montana, Elway, or Kelly were on these very one-dimensional Dolphin teams, they would never even have made it to the play-offs. Well, maybe with Elway once or twice.

This man, in my opinion, is the greatest QB of all time. I hear all this crap about rings but you put Marino as QB on Aikman's, Elway's or Montana's teams and he has those rings and any of those other QB's on the Dolphins they have none! Why? NO DEFENSE! The majority of Marino's career his defenses ranked in the lower to mid 20's which is ridiculous! The Big 3 in Big D were still around but after free agency broke up Jimmy's Jugernaut....NO TITLES! Montana in KC....NO TITLES! He had a higher ranked def. in KC than Marino ever had in the majority of his career and Montana couldn't get it done. Why? Teams win titles in team sports...this isn't golf and tennis, folks. Marino took Miami to the playoffs in years they probably had no business making because of HIS arm! Also, look at the title teams of Bradshaw, Montana, Aikman and Elway....all their defense ranked in the Top 10....some of those No. 1. No, Marino wouldn't have had 48 TD passes with Emmitt Smith, Franco Harris or Terrell Davis in the backfield but he'd have those rings on those teams!

The question is, if you take a great player off of a great team would he still remain great. Dan played with both a superbowl caliber team (Dolphins of the early eighties) and a team that probably should not have been in the playoffs at all (Dolphins after the early eighties). His productivity was greater early on but he still played at a very high level throughout the remainder of his career. It is difficult for me to say Montana or Emmitt or any very good player that plays on a Dynasty is the greatest of all time because of the fact that they are surrounded by other Hall of Famers. Dan never had that luxury and was still amazing therefore I can see why people would consider him the greatest ever.

If Dan Marino is so good then why did he lose to Cool Joe. If you are truly great you succeded no matter the circumstance. At the end of the day you just gotta count the rings. For Marino thats ZERO. You count Joe's Rings, thats four and you say Wow, thats the best quarterback EVER! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

hands down the best QB ever, considering the team he was working with. If joe montana didn't have rice and craig, hell all of the 49ers roster of the 80s and 90s; he wouldn't even compare to marino. even steve young has posted better stats then montana. I mean come on, no other QB (besides Peyton Manning) has thrown 48 TDs in a single season, let alone more then 5,000 passing yards. Give Rice to Marino and i garauntee everyones all-time favorite QB would be Marino.

GIVE ME A BREAK.....marino, threw the ball over 8,000 times, most guys that played as long as him didn't get the chance to throw that often, if he threw it 5000-6000 times you can take away alot or most of his career records.....alot of guys out there can throw deep, big deal, play the game not the endzone, play the defence not stat book.....manning has the same problem as dan, they didn't play the game, the played the scored bored, which you will get away w/ most times during the season (especially if you usual play crappy to avg teams for the most part......like marino) but come the playoff, you have defences who make you play the game! which is why marino has a losing record come the post season and his qb rating is nothing to talk about.....he had a great arm but was ok as a quarterback, once jimmy johnson stopped throwing the ball 500 times a game, you saw what marino might have been like......i once heard a guy on espn say.....if pamela anderson went out and threw the a football over 8000 times......she'd get alot of yrds and scores too.....lol....sad but in a way, sarcasticly true

Absolutely the best QB that history has ever seen. Afterall, he does hold the all time record of most touchdowns in a single season. Several players have tried to break his record, such as Brett Favre and Peyton Manning (Manning probally will break the record at the end of the season but hasnt yet), but didnt get it done.

Even today, Marino could outgun most of the current NFL QB's. Marino had to leave because while never fast, he at least had good footwork and could move in the pocket. When his speed went from near zero to absolutely stationary teams just started teeing off on him and blitzing every down. It was sad to watch the last few years.. and a big reason I think coaches today are so obsessed with QB's who can run and gun like Michael Vick

That gos for you to mikey frans marino holds 13 major career passing records and the single season record for most yards thrown the only player to throw for over 5,000 yards in a single season. dan is the greatest statistical in the history of the NFL.So why dont you say elways better know thats shows what you know. I defend my quarterback so keep your retarded comments to yourself especially if you dont know what your talking about. DAN THE MAN RULES GO MARINO and to all you other marino fans you rule to.

I give him props for taking a vanilla team and making them somewhat respectable. I mean with a HB running 2.2 yards a carry it turns you Offense into something very one-dimensional. Many may label him a choker, or a loser for never winning a superbowl. But he dominated in stats. One stat he owns is the most game winning/game ending TD drives at 45. So I guess he isn't as big as a choker as you think. This is after all a TEAM SPORT and laying the blame on one player isn't very fair

More or less a stat-hog, Marino's teams never had a running game so he passed almost every down. The Dolphins consistently had quality receivers and a tough offensive line. You put any other good nfl quarterback on that team for 16 years and he would put up great numbers as well. I'm not saying Marino wasn't good, it's just that the stats would say that he was the greatest NFL quarterback ever and I think they are misleading.

I give him one star less for not winning the Super Bowl. But turn back the clock to the '83 draft and nobody gave him a chance. The reason for his not winning the SB is that he didn't have enough talent around him to help.
