Marino never had a workhorse back and he never had dominant receivers either. Guys like Mark Duper and Mark Clayton were good, but having Marino throwing the ball turned them into Pro Bowl players.

The one thing Miami had that really fit Marino's quick-release style perfectly was an offensive line that could pass-block exceptionally well.

There are four NFL quarterbacks who have been sacked more than 40 times this season -- including Dak Prescott, the league leader with 48.

Dan Marino was once sacked 47 times -- over five seasons. This included ridiculous seasons like 1987 (sacked 9 times), 1988 (6 times), and 1989 (10 times).

Just think about that for a moment ... SIX sacks over an entire NFL season when he led the NFL with more than 600 pass attempts and over 4,400 yards passing.

Dan Marino...good QB, nice guy. Same vein as Phillip Rivers.
Close but no cigar. Drew Brees is the man. Aaron Rodgers will be remembered as a great backup.
