In my opinion, Dan Marino was the best quarterback of my generation (basically from the late 1970s on). Marino made all his yards when games were out of reach and he HAD to throw. A great quarterback finds a way to win. Great quarterbacks carry the team and find a way to win the big games.... It sucks but that's just the way it is... Pastorini got stuck in the worst situation being in the same division as the Steelers...almost beat them except for 1 bad call. Doesn't matter...nobody remembers him...but they remember the one of the toughest SOB's to ever play..Bradshaw.

I hate him and the Steelers for beating the cr@p out of my Cowboys....but that's just the way the ballgame goes.

Marino is just not that great...sorry.

As far as your generation... Staubach, Bradshaw, Kenny “the Snake” Stabler, ....to name better 70’s quarterbacks.

You make it sound as if the Miami Dolphins were losing every single game in which Marino played. That's not the case at all.

While most people remember great performances in big playoff games, Marino's greatest performance came in a regular-season game back in December of 1985 (this would have been his greatest game even if he had won four Super Bowls). That was the famous Monday night game in which the Dolphins shredded the Chicago Bears and their vaunted 46 Defense under Buddy Ryan by a score of 38-24 -- the sole blemish on the Bears' record in their 15-1 season and legedary playoff run to a Super Bowl title.

This was a Bears team whose defensive unit was arguably the best of all time. They gave up 31 points in the first half of the game, and could not come up with an answer to Miami's passing attack.

There were at least a half-dozen Hall of Fame caliber players on that Bears' defense. I suspect many of them would tell you that Dan Marino was the best quarterback they ever faced.

Do you mean the very same Marino that single handily beat the Chicago Bears(nicknamed the "greatest team ever") on MNF to mar their perfect season?

Bradshaw is the most overrated QB ever. Surround any average NFL QB with those Pittsburg Steelers teams and they get 4 SuperBowl rings too.
