Just how impressive was Dan Marino's 1984 campaign?

Putting the Dolphins on his back, he guided Miami to a 14-2 record. He became the first QB in NFL history to pass for more than 5,000 yards and absolutely shattered the NFL single season passing TD record with 48 (the previous record had been 36).
Those records have since been broken, but it took almost three decades to do it. And those records were broken in an era where it has become easier for QBs to toss the football all over the field. Marino set those records in an age where the rules favored the defense.

Downright amazing. What's even more phenomenal is his ypa, that was ridiculous.

Even though the 1978 rules changes were already in place, defenses were still able to be physical and all I mean this was the era of Ronnie Lott, LT, Reggie White and Steve Atwater so when one assesses great QB stats from that era whether it be Marino’s 1984 season, Steve Young’s 1994 season or Montana’s 1989 season maybe there’s a greater appreciation of those in that light compared to today’s seasons as remarkable as they are

The most unstoppable QB of all-time not named Bert Jones

Atwater was at Lutheran North in 84. Reggie White was in the USFL. So what are you trying to say about Marino’s year?

You mean John Unitas Staubach, or Namath who all were better than Jones

Marino > Montana. Imagine if Montana had to deal with the atrocious defenses and zero running game like Marino had to for his entire career. There's no way in hell he would have finished his career with a winning percentage above .600 like Marino did.

GTFO with that blasphemy though I do consider Unitas the GOAT QB, he was light years ahead of his contemporaries, revolutionized the position for the subsequent generations, brilliant clutch QB, brilliant leader, the Golden Arm, Staubach's in that same class as well

Umm go look up what Namath did who was first guy to throw for over 4000?
Let me know when Bert Jones won anything big? Let me know when Jones was ever highest paid QB.
You could make an argument Bartkowski is better than Jones. I know Anderson was.
We get it you just rely on reading things and don’t know how much of a try hard you are.

TBT I love Joe, dude's kind of the reason the merger happened with his seminal rookie contract with the Jets, was tough AF considering the horrific conditions of his knees when he played professionally, could run an offense as well or better than anyone and had an arm that launched rockets, unfortunately for his statistical and perceptive legacy it wasn't the most accurate arm and few footage exists of a fully healthy Namath at the peak of his football powers, still an HOFer but his narrative's more "what if" than the epitome of a GOAT career

He was the best pure passer I ever saw. He never put his receivers in a bad position, always hit them in stride.

See...I don't know if I necessarily agree with this quote, even if it did come from the man who invented the system. If Montana was simply a product of a system, you would think that system could have been replicated by other teams around the NFL. Thing is...they weren't replicated and couldn't be replicated. Why? Because Joe Montana was a damn good QB. His decision making and his leadership were tops in the NFL during his era. You look at his 1989 campaign and tell me he was the simple product of a system.

Bill Walsh basically calls all the great QBs who've ever played the GOAT QB, there's this NFL Films Documentary Greatest Ever Quarterbacks from roughly 1996 thats on youtube where he calls John Unitas the GOAT QB in one segment then when its Montana's segment he calls Joe the GOAT QB, odd stuff

Arguably the most efficient season of all-time and in the playoffs he was EVEN BETTER, completed roughly 78% of his passes all TDs no INTs, culminated with arguably the most dominating Super Bowl performance by an NFL QB in the game's history
