There are a lot of pretty good players with Super Bowl rings, but only a few titans of the sport. It’s Marino and it’s pretty insulting that it’s a question.

Marino for sure.

Trent Dilfer has a ring, Jim Plunkett has two rings Eli Manning is not in the same Universe as Dan Marino

Marino as a qb was on a whole different level

I’ll take Dan Marino, Even when Eli had more rings than Peyton at one point, Peyton was still better than Eli

This is honestly a great question I lean Marino but he would cut his arm off for a sb championship. If you argued Marino is the most talented QB ever I couldn't really argue. He was fantastic

As much as I love what those Giants defenses did to Brady in both Super Bowls, they did eventually give up the lead, prompting Eli to march down field and re-take the lead in a glorious fashion.

Imagine Marino playing in today's QB friendly league. Nobody would touch him.

Dan Marino hands down..

Funny is that players are judged on rings. Eli has the rings but when they bring up great QB's Marino will be mentioned not Eli.

Guarantee Marino himself would take Elis career over his, no question.

It's not just that Eli has 2 rings, it's the story behind those SB wins: specifically who he beat... twice.

What kind of question is this? Dan Marino.

Its Dan Marino. A cannon for an arm. Eli would probably like to be Marino. He still deserves to be in Hall of Fame

Everyone talks about Marino’s records but he doesn’t hold those anymore. Eli is always a 2x champion

This question is so disrespectful. You take away those rings and Eli doesn't even sniff the HOF.

Maybe QB’s shouldn’t be judged on winning championships as much as they are. Marino’s Dolphins scores 16 points in their one Super Bowl appearance, but they gave up 38. Terry Bradshaw’s Steelers also scored 16 points in their first Super Bowl. They gave up 6 and won the game. If they had given up 38 points in their four Super Bowls in the 70s they would have lost them all.

Who's talent would you rather have? Marino all day. Very good poll question though because Eli had two great postseason runs... having said that I'd go with Marino because he put up unbelievable numbers in the "non passing" era... without batting an eye I take Marino.

BY the way ! There was a DAN , that had started today"s HAPPY passing stats & He was playing before Marino was & his name was FOUTS !....That NEVER was seen before that time , what he did in a 3 to 4 years span & that was cut into by a strike, too .

MARINO IS THE 🐐

Dan Marino with today's rules ....let that sink in !

Dan Mariano was great. Eli was pretty good never great

WHY WAS THIS EVEN BOUGHT UP ? ? ? ! ! ! OBVIOUSLY somebody was high and thought this was a relevant conversation. DAN MARINO ! WITHOUT QUESTION !

Definitely Eli, 2x SB Champ and MVP, long solid career, just my personal opinion though. Those 2 championships are just massive in terms of the legacy he's leaving.

I thought Dan Fouts and Air Coryell changed the Quarterback position forever. The Kellen Winslow historic playoff game happened the year before Marino was drafted.

I’d rather be Eli, Winning Championships is more appealing than putting up crazy stats

Definitely Marino. This is essentially the equivalent of comparing Chris Bosh to Karl Malone. Marino is a borderline top 5 qb period! Eli isn’t even top 25 at his own position! Brady, Montana, Mahomes, Unitas, Peyton Manning, Rodgers, Elway, Marino, Brees, Young, Favre, Big Ben, Staubach, Bradshaw, Rivers, Kelly, Moon, Graham, Tarkenton, Starr, Warner, Aikman, Jurgenson, Dawson, and Wilson are all better than Eli. It would be a shame if he went into the HOF, because his entire career is not HOF worthy

This is such a silly comparison. Scrubby Eli Manning should be outlawed in this conversation he is by far the worst QB to ever win a super bowl and to put him in a debate with on of the all time great QB like Dan the Man Marino is absolutely disgusting 🤮

Manning didn't throw 8 pick sixes in one year like Dan, I'll give him that.

If you had to pick a QB between the two to lead your team who would it be? For me it’s not even close - #13

I watched Marino's Football Life and this Def really bothers him to this day. Big time. Look at it like this, of the great QB's that played in his era and somewhat beyond his era, he is the only one that didn't win.. Montana Young Aikman Favre Elway They all won.. Not Marino.. I guess he and Jim Kelly..

Dan Marino, hands down. It jokes to even to compare them. Dan Marino had a 147-95 record in his career. Eli Manning had a record of 118-118 in his career

Trust me, Dan Marino has lost *A LOT* of sleep over not winning a Super Bowl. *A LOT.*

Could you imagine Dan Marino with Barry Sanders?

The way I answer this is this, "Dan Marino probably loses sleep not winning the big one. Eli probably loses no sleep in not having "the best" numbers but sleeps well having two SB MVP's."

The great Dan Marino could throw footballs through tires from 10 yards to 75 yards like a Dart Champion all day long, and cut up a defense like a chef with prime rib. But on all of the biggest days, leading his team in the most important games, he folded like a card house. I don't mean got beat or lost a shootout, I mean choked. Collapsed. His entire career, again and again and again. Check out Dan's performance on what he knew would be the final game of his career ever in the NFL...

This is a trash take DP. Marino was great but everyone wants a ring

Teams win SB not QB'S. Lets stop this B.S. right now. ANY two QBs in history ANY two YOU CAN NAME show up for a tryout in their primes and you not knowing who is who and one is Dan Marino, the other one is going to be holding the clipboard for life. Period. No discussion. End of story. Each generation wants to hold on to their favorite as the best and will glean every aspect IN STATS to put him there as in winning SB'S. Peyton Manning " the only QB I ever watched while I was standing on the sidelines when we played them was Dan Marino." Why? Marino played in a era of mugging wide receivers on defense and QB roughing was a joke and rarely if ever called. Marino never had a running back and his defenses consistently ranked in the lower half of the league(check it out) which cut heavily into ball possession from the O side of the ball. The man threw for over 5000 yds which today would equate to 7200 and add in the rule changes where you can't touch the receiver and he legitimately would have easily surpassed 7500 yds....all this from a QB who was 999.9% pocket passer. No roll outs to buy time...no bubble screens for backs to catch and run....AHHHH..this is a joke. Today a Dan MARINO would be either banned or broken up. Tom Brady has 6 Rings which collect dust from team wins, and he would still hold the clipboard behind not only Marino but Elway also until their arms were severed...then again maybe. Rings collect dust...QB'S such as Dan Marino collect accolades from their peers on their ability to physically and mentally produce eye popping numbers year in and year out DESPITE their supporting cast. Tom Brady? As soon as the TEAM declined he bolted for a team dominant in defense with offensive pieces in place in warm weather no less. Another clipboard holder and if you think Tom Brady going up against Marino in their primes on a tryout could win the starting job.....McDonalds called......you got the job.

I would take Marino for name and Eli for career stats, ,,,in one more played season could of out stats in just about every category?

Yes Dan is right. We should stop considering championships to be the ultimate measure of players. In football especially and in Marino's case in particular with the Dolphins it was a surprising combination of factors for 17 years that perfectly account for Marino's lack of a ring. Maybe in basketball one player can carry everything, but no way in the NFL. Did Montana carry everything? Did Brady carry everything? Did Eli carry everything? Did Bradshaw carry everything? Pulease

Dan Marino

Dan the man.

love to know DPs college board scores

that defense argument is stupid...the defense allowed Brady to score forcing Eli to have two 4th quarter comeback victories....

last time i checked. phil sims has two rings also.

Hes top 10 in almost everything

This is such a bad comparison. Marino is an all time great, Eli had 2 good playoff runs, backed by some great defensive play.

Marino

Thre fact you have to argue a guy who has two super bowl rings over a guy who has none tells you everything you need to know

Wasn’t the best QB, he was the best leader.

When I think of the greatest QB's of all time I don't think of ether of them.

No one questions Marino's career? He didn't win a championship, you were questioning his career during the segment!

It is not fair to say that Dan Marino would have won the SB with any other strong playoff contender during his era and then deny Eli Manning the same possibility. On the offensive side of the ball, Eli has never been surrounded by top tier talent. He had some good players (for short stretches), no doubt. But none were near the talent that surrounded Brees, Rodgers, Peyton, Roethlisberger, Brady or even Rivers. So yeah, if Eli had been on other teams, I could easily see him leading those teams to SB glory.

Take out the semantics and straight to value. Arguably the greatest quarterback of all time if not definitely one of with multiple regular season accolades, records, MVPs, all time records and first ballot HOF. Versus Two time super bowl champion, two super bowl mvp, top eight and top ten in almost all career QB all time records and a HOF (not first ballot). For me personally, I want the championships.

Marino all day

This Debate’s Hilarious people always underrate Eli and People always Overrate Dan. If u Take Away those first 4 years in Miami There Careers Look Kinda Similar Besides the Rings

Strange. Some people call Brady the best ever and yet Eli was a better leader twice and beat the other team even though as we now know the probably cheated those seasons.🤔

Eli, not even close

This Dan Marino quote tells us how he feels about Rings-"I'd trade every Record we broke to be Super Bowl Champs". He said this sometime after his 1 and only Super Bowl Game.

Dan Marino = Dan Patrick (special player) Eli Manning = Danettes (team) I want a 1st ballot HoF top 5 of all time not the... maybe.

No way, if Eli gets in, Plunket gets in!!

Which guy Reached the Pinnacle of His Profession-and he did it more than once no less? Which guy achieved his goal more than once? You could make a case that you are comparing an OVERACHIEVER to an UNDERACHIEVER.

If they both are in the HOF with Gold Jackets what is the difference? Well Eli has the 2 rings and 2 SB MVP's.. Why would Eli care about media hacks talking shit? Check the rings, and the Gold Jacket..

Imprinted in my mind. Last play Eli manning throwing touchdown pass to beat the unbeatable Pats.

The goal every year is super bowl win so I don't understand how being a 2X champ takes a back seat to anyone who has none. Crazy

Are these guys raising their hands before they speak?

Why is this a question don’t we play/watch sports or any competitions to win isn’t that the point don’t give me well one was greater the point is to win and any fan base would take two super bowls over never winning.

Give me a QB that comes through for his teammates in the biggest games. One guy Reached The Pinnacle of His Profession TWICE and the other could not play good enough to help his team win it all even once. For me it is no contest. Denny Mumford.

Steelers should've drafted Marino.

Why does rings come into play with an individual talent question? How dumb can you be? Football is a team sport. Eli didn’t win those rings alone. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Marino was amazing for a long time too. Not saying eli isn’t great but marino was a quick release and a rocket of an arm. Marino is better no doubt. My opinion.

I say say Dan marino

Theres a big debate on whether Eli should be in the hall of fame. That's a tough one. I think he gets in, but it feels like he gets in by the slimmest of margins. If you take away one of his two Super Bowl hes definitely not in in my opinion. He was great for two post seasons but other than that he was a slightly above average QB. He probably gets in for his two superbowl runs and his iron man streak but I dont think he should. Outside of those two superbowl runs he never felt like a hall of Famer to me. Same goes for Phillip Rivers. Like Dan said, hes in the "hall of fame of very good" if I remember correctly. Very good for a long time equals hall of fame to me... I would rather call it the hall of fame of "better than average". Hall of fame means all time great... do we really consider Eli as all time great. Dan Marino and guys like him set the bar.... Eli and guys like him lower the bar to get in.... just my opinion.

If Marino had the giants defenses of 2007 he would’ve won a ring

Eli has one thing against him...... He truly SUCKED half of his career. Dan Marino always gets the benefit of doubt because by all accounts his teams weren’t very good, yet he still balled, Eli had decent teams and still stunk up the field. Even Joe Flacco made a great playoff run, no one is saying he is great

“Dan Marino changed the position.” Ummmmmm how??? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Even Peyton Manning said Dan Marino is most favorite player

Eli is not a Hall of Famer any more than Joe Flacco.

Simply put, Eli was lucky. In 2007, the Giants defense was destroyed by Romo, Favre, and Brady in the regular season and lost by 11.5 points. In the post season, those three didn't show up and the Giants squeaked by barely a field goal. And those are the facts. Eli is average at best. If Marino would be a rookie today, he would probably own every significant passing record in about 12 years. Eli was lucky. It wasn't talent on his part.

Millennials don't know who Dan Marino is. Eli is known to beat the Goat 2x lol. If Eli played in a dome like Peyton or Brees his stats would be like theirs too. Eli has guts like farve. Eli still has more rings than Aaron Rodgers,drew Brees, Stafford. Stats are overrated. Give me rings. Eli is the greatest 4th quarter quarterback. Marino played in warm non windy Miami.

Éli Manning a eu mauvaise lignes offensives et Dan Marino a eu fantastique ligne offensives

Easy I’m taking Dan Marino career over Eli Manning career all day every day. Not even a debate Eli can have is 2 rings other then beating no.12 he as under achieve as a franchise QB. Who is the elite QB between these two of course it’s Dan Marino. Sorry Eli your not elite enough to be on Dan Marino level

And to be clear, I am a New Yorker who was raised in Miami during all but the first year of Marino's career. I witnessed first hand the anguish Dolphin fans suffered at the consistent playoff failures of the Dolphins under Marino. I can tell you that most of the people I know would gladly take Eli's 2 SB wins for their franchise over the legacy Marino left the Dolphins. Football is a team sport and it is the team's success that matters to me over individual accomplishments. Keep all your records Marino. I choose SB glory for my team any day of the week.

Eli lost as many games as he won. I don't even think Eli is a HOFer.

Ok Eli was a lucky quarterback especially during the playoffs. We all remember how the giants made the Super Bowl. No was not Eli. Brett Farve pick six sent the Giants to the SuperBowl in the NFC Title Game. Fast forward to Giants Niners NFC Title game when Giants recovered a punt fumble deep in niners territory from there on kick the game wining field goal in OT. So Eli was not the hero and just got lucky the ball bounced the giants way and Eli was fortunate to collect the credit

Éli Manning

I know Eli is not an elite QB because why are we discussing is Eli a hall of famer. This only proves my point that Eli is not elite. Dan has zero rings but we all know Dan is an elite QB and there is no doubt Dan is a hall of famer unlike Eli

This is a flawed arguement. Dan says if you drop Marino in San Fransisco he wins a few superbowls. Then you say Eli was never the best quarterback in the nfl at any point. Neither was Troy Aikman. But if you dropped Eli on that Cowboys team with that offensive line and Irvin and Smith? Eli could've won 3 rings like Troy did. Shit he won 2 without all that. And Eli still holds the NFL single postseason record for most passing yards with 1200 yards in 2011. Saying the defense was responsible for that run is ignorant.

Eli Mannings in a nanosecond. You aren't going to go into a capsule and look at passing yards. Eli has two of the greatest plays in Superbowl history that will be played every year at Superbowl time. Marino was a great quarterback but what's the marquee moment? I remember the Superbowl loss frankly and what else?

Eli beat the goat twice

pour un HOFer caracter et leadership sont aussi important Ben R est un batteur de sa femme. Éli Manning est un homme de classe sur et dehors le champ

Eli, he won two rings against the Patriots!

I’m a die hard Broncos fan from waaaaay back. I watched Elway and Marino’s careers side by side. Dan was better than Elway, slightly better. Different skill set. Dan was fing Joe Namath back there, spectacular QB. Having said that and biting my tongue, I have to take Eli for ONE reason; he beat an unbelievable undefeated Pats team. So with a gun to my head, I take Eli’s career

It's Eli and it's not even close. 2 Super Bowls and got paid a ton.

It’s not debate. Eli Manning and Dan Marino stats are identical Dan Marino throw more INTs then Eli Manning cmon bro stop it. Eli is more clutch then Dan Marino so he has a better arm then Eli that’s it lol 😂 The stats are identical Eli lead he’s team against a 18-0 team cmon bro

This is just Dumb. Marino was the better QB but Eli has jewelry. To each his own but, he's got rings and Marino doesn't. I'll trade that for a hall of fame any day. Im sorry. Give me the ring.

Eli...easy

Give me he rings

Eli all the way.

Anyone who says they'd rather be Marino just didn't get sports I guess. The only point of professional sports is Championships. Younger people can garner valuable things from simply playing: team work, perseverance, etc. But at the professional level you're only there for one reason: to win Championships. Marino never won any, and if you listen to him in interviews, that's a very big deal to him. Manning felt that triumph of hoisting the lombardy twice, that's a priceless feeling. Stats are nice but stats are often forgotten and never immortalized. Championship wins are forever. I could care less if Marino was the better or more talented athlete, anyone who understands professional sports would choose Eli's career over Marino's.

Marino couldnt win in the worst/easiest division in NFL history
