Imagine Marino playing today where QB's and WR's can't be touched.



Marino's 1984 season (5,084 passing yards and 48 TDs) era adjusted stats are the equivalent of someone posting 6,144 yards and 58 TDs.

Realize that era adjusted stats are kind of BS, but that's some amazing stuff.

Bruce Smith is amazing and a nice nod to the Bills but sheesh. Put some respek on the rest of those guys too. Jim Kelly was a hell of a qb.


Bruce Smith always considered Top 5, or minimum, Top 10 all time at his position. Jim Kelly, as awesome as he was, usually isn’t.

If anything, Randy Moss is being disrespected being that far down the list. He’s widely regarded Top 5 at his position. Tomlinson isn’t. Yet LT is placed ahead of him.

Very true. and great point. All im saying is that 4 year run by the bills is unprecedented and they had some dogs on that team.

Champ Bailey didn’t get an honorable mention?

That’s insane.

No. 1: Dan Marino, quarterback

Marino should have done more with the talent he had around him.

At Pitt, he was one of four future Pro Football Hall of Famers on the 1980 team. The 1981-1982 teams lost as the #1 team in the country.

At Miami, he was 1-2 in the AFCCG. All three games were in Miami.

As tough as the NFC was during his career, there’s no shame in not winning a Super Bowl. But if he were as good as some people think, he absolutely either should have won a natty at Pitt or at least made it to more than one Super Bowl with the Dolphins.

Not just kind of.

The more time marches on, the closer we get to what’s possible. Marino’s 1984 season, Bob Beamon’s long jump, Michael Johnson’s 200 m., McGwire increasing the HR record by nine in 1998, etc. Comparable leaps aren’t happening again.

Had Derrick Thomas not died due to from paralysis in a car accident he would likely have made the honorable mention if not the Top 10.
