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

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!!!

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

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.

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.

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!

Jim Kelly Buffalo

Nirvana is classic rock now. We're old

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

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!

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.

Jogn Elway!

yea Elway is by far the best “thrower”

? 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

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!

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

Montana, Young, and even Aikman hit their receivers in stride too.

@@roland7584TB12 did also!

Correct....because if you were playing against him in the playoffs, you knew you had an automatic dub.

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!

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 😂😂

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.

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.

Thank you Jesus

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

AB-SO-LUTE-LY !

​@@zoezoe3301 AB-SO-LUTE-LY !

@@zoezoe3301 welp...the healthy part is a major issue...

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 😂

the " good guy " thing is what makes him great. That is what puts him with the top of the greats.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯

Having a little trouble with the lady, Ace?

And according to Joe Montana, highest regards period.

Honestly some of the top players in the 80s 90s wouldn't start in today's NFL.

I'm worried about the niners. I want to see how they bounce back this Sunday.

The fish got squished.

😂

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

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.

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.

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.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 x100000000

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.

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.

false. most of his years, dolphins D was well above avg.

@@newagain9964 false. They were bottom half of the league at best.

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.

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.

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.

The problem is, everybody remembers when he'd succeed on those plays but forget about the INTs and broken up passes in Key Moments that lost them games. Marino's Greatness is also why he never won The Big One.

Don’t forget that Dan Marino led a double life, good in the regular season padding his stats and then choked all the time in the playoffs against good teams, hence = 0 Superbowl titles

@@justinlast2lastharder749Finally! someone with a brain. Marino is the greatest choker in NFL history
