Of course it is a buffalo site but still. No mention of Marino at all.

It's understandable why Marino isn't on their list. Marino Torched them on a regular baisis. They prob can't stand Marino. Besides when have you ever heard of a unbiased Bills fan? All the cold and snow warps their minds.

tom brady? please a guy that played on tainted superbowl teams and played with other teams signals for 7 years?
and sammy baugh? they put his name on there because the old timers say "he was so amazing" even though the people who make these kind of lists never seen him play
marino should be top 3 easy he is #1 to me but to have him out of at least the #5 is an injustice lol -
They are problably just trying to piss us off since they know Fin fans hate it when he isnt in considered a top QB....
If they are serious though and they really believe that list to be accurate....Ive got some swamp land here in FLA I'd like to show them thats for sale...cheap too! -
Any top 5 would have to include Marino. Where he would be in that top 5, I am not sure.

i was watching around the horn the day after favre retired and they were talking about who would be in there "mount rushmore" of qbs
tony kornheiser put bart starr above marino i could not believe it, they just want to knock dan down because he didnt get a ring well you know what football is a team sport it takes a team to win a ring
i mean take away jerry rice from joe montana and see how great he was -
I am surprised Joe Ferguson is not on that list.

PFT asks ..
"How can a list of the seven best quarterbacks of all time omit Dan Marino?"
http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/ -
What would you expect from a Bills site? One of the most prolific QBs of all time and they put people on their list because they had a famous name, not because they were better than Marino. Your right Marino did use to torch Buffalo, but he actually used to torch everybody thats why every team in the league feared and respected him and his abilities. -

Yea right Peyton Manning is better the Tom Brdy and John Elawy should be above Tome Brady.

I watched that "in their own words" with Marino the other nite, and even on it they said that Marino was the best pure passer ever.
But what also I did not know was that Shula encouraged him to call the plays on the field from the beginning, he had that much faith in Marino. And he may not have been the mobilest qb, but he still was nimble enough to avoid a lot of sacks or a fast release to avoid it. He said on that show that he thought he had excellent pocket presence and a sense of where they were around him and how much time he had to get rid of the ball. Said himself he was not the most nimblefooted but that he usually knew when and how to just step to the side or turn a little to make the rusher miss...
Let Buffalo say what they will, We know the truth here...talen1 likes this. -

Kelly girl had four opportunities for a s-b win and he flat out choked..
In a lot of people minds Marino didn't win a championship so he doesn't deserve top 5 or 10 status..
It is curious that a big percentage of those type of opinions are coming from all of his rivals in the AFC East!

I really don't think one should include pre-merger quarterbacks. It was a very different game back then, like comparing apples to oranges. Guys were throwing 12 times a game back then.
West coast QBs get their ratings inflated a bit, sometimes by an extra 10 pts, then non-West coast guys like Marino. That hurts guys like Montana, Steve Young etc
Marino's career rating was heads and tails above other QBs of his day. Thus far, only Manning and Roethlisberger are on track to be in his league.
And Marino was better than Favre. It look Favre longer to break the same records, and he set the int one along the way.finswin56 likes this.
