A couple of weeks ago, I amassed a list of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL today based on results and potential.

I have gathered up stats and facts about several of the NFL’s elite quarterback throughout football history. Basically, the quarterbacks were ranked by stats and efficiency. Other accomplishments such as Super Bowl wins, Pro Bowl appearances, and MVP awards were taken into consideration, but they do not eclipse actual stats.

1. Dan Marino: Dan Marino was a first-round draft pick for the Miami Dolphins in 1983. He went to college at Pittsburgh. He spent seventeen seasons as quarterback of the Miami Dolphins and broke almost every passing record possible. His arm strength and accuracy was consistently among the elite throughout his illustrious career. Despite breaking records and producing phenomenal stats, Dan Marino has had to carry around the encumbrance of being known as the best quarterback not to win the Super Bowl. His legacy and place among past quarterbacks will be in question because of his lack of post-season success. Arguably, if Marino had won just a single Super Bowl, then he would be documented as the greatest quarterback ever to play football, similar to how Michael Jordan has been hailed as the greatest basketball player of all-time. But his stats alone state that not only is he the best quarterback not to win the Super Bowl, but he is the best quarterback ever to grace the gridiron.

Marino played in 242 NFL regular season games, completed 4,967 out of 8,358 pass attempts, threw for 61,361 yards, threw 420 touchdown passes and 252 interceptions. Marino has made nine appearances in the Pro Bowl, and won the MVP award in 1984.
