Bruh….Dan Marino had more arm talent than Tom Brady. What are you not seeing?
Why are you so insulted? Aaron Rodgers also has more arm talent than Tom Brady.
Avg 20 ints. U not winning with peak Marino
Y’all even using this lingo that just came out like 10 years ago lol
Arm talent
The media control yall
Everything has to be nuanced why can‘t people do this??
People are trying to turn this into an old head new head thing when it’s not
Dan Marino was an unbelievable passer and had more physical gifts then Tom Brady
He didn’t win more because his organization let him down
Brady had Bill Belichick who maximized Brady’s career
I’m an older head but I think Adrian Peterson is the greatest RB of all time and I saw Walter, Barry, Eric, Earl, LaDanian, Marshall and Emmitt all run the football
It’s nuanced man

Joe is right. Marino and Manning the true GOATs, but Brady and Montana won more

Four-time Super Bowl champion Joe Montana believes that Dan Marino is the best quarterback to ever play football, per comments made in an exclusive interview with Keith Nelson of Men's Health.
"He had a quick release. I had to step into a lot of things to get enough [force] on the ball," Montana said about Marino. "He had the perfect torque of his upper body and strength to deliver the ball quickly at a fast release with accuracy."
Nelson clarified the difference between greatest and best in this case.
"...However, there's a difference between 'greatest' and 'best,' and Montana thinks the latter distinction doesn't belong to him," Nelson wrote. "The title of 'greatest QB' typically refers to career achievements, whereas 'best QB' refers to individual talent."
Marino doesn't own the career accomplishments that other quarterbacks do, but there's no denying his tremendous talent.
He had one of the best and strongest arms in the game and dominated in an era where defenses could take more physical liberties on offensive players, specifically signal-callers.
Nowadays, quarterbacks are far more protected, a luxury that Marino, Montana and others did not benefit from seeing.
"Put Marino into today's game where he gets free release...and his receivers, holy cow, weren't very big," Montana told Nelson. "Now these guys are 6'4," 6'5." I think [Marino] is probably one of the most unsung heroes of the game. People don't talk enough about him or realize the numbers that he put up during the times that he put them up."
Marino led the NFL in passing yards five times and touchdowns on three occasions. His 48 touchdowns in 1984 stood as a single-season record until Tom Brady broke it in 2007 (50). That was since broken by Peyton Manning (55 in 2013).
Marino is still seventh on the all-time passing touchdown list (420), and he's No. 1 among players who never suited up in the 21st century.
He may never have won a Super Bowl, but Marino was a sensational talent who clearly has the respect of one of the best to ever play the game.
You brought Brady up in the first place..my point was his catalogue of throws have been surpassed and he coasted on his 4 year peak..thats my point and it still stands..youre insecurity about Brady allowed him to be in a discussion that he had no business in. Those are perceptions. Bradys film of throws takes a backseat to no one..
MontanaBecause you are viewing it through 2023 eyes. Just 20 years ago having a career 2:1 td/int ratio was a big deal. Now everybody shyts all over that. 40 tds and 5 picks wasnt happening back then. When you can hit the QB and WR, nikkas will throw picks.

Of course I did because we know how sensitive you will have been regarding Dan Marino in here. Let’s not pretend. If you’re going to have an argument with me, argue with Joe Montana.
Cacs got y’all using that weak ass term that we can’t even quantify
