I don't know about that. LOL.

Dan Marino played in one Super Bowl, and his Dolphins lost. And yet if I'm building an NFL roster with players whose NFL careers began after the mid-1970s, he'd be my starting quarterback -- hands down. He's the best pure passer of the last 40 years.

In that Super Bowl Marino faced the Niners and Joe Montana. The Dolphins D didn't pressure Montana. Ball game.

Further Marino never had a workhorse back - Elway never won the championship till he had Terrell Davis - or a true game-breaking receiver.

But I agree, the best pure passer of the last forty years.
