    Marino's performance in the post-season dropped in comparison to his regular season stats. See chart below. In the regular season, he could defeat the 1985 Bears. In the post-season, he couldn't beat the 1985 Patriots - AT HOME IN MIAMI - and was badly outplayed by the "great" Tony Eason.

    You still haven't come up with Marino's excuse for his poor play against Florida State and Penn State costing Pitt two national championships despite being surrounded by a future NFL team of players.

    You're proving what Mark Twain said is true, "No amount of evidence will convince an idiot." We're not talking a small sampling here either. We're going from high school at Central Catholic to four years at Pitt to 17 years in the NFL, and no matter how vigorously you deny the obvious, David Woodley led the Miami Dolphins to as many Super Bowls as Dan Marino in far fewer seasons and you have the same number of championship rings as Dan Marino - ZERO, and that number will never change. Our discourse has concluded.

    Well, what do you know. Perhaps Dan Marino stole Rob Ledonne's girlfriend......

    I see a lot of pent up anger and frustration for some reason

    Mason Cole wasn't much better. He was bad, but not horrible in 2022, then got worse in 2023. The guy was all over the place with his shotgun snaps.

    In that chart,Marino is not far behind 2 all-time great in Brady and Mahomes,so this is not bad thing.Similar QB rating that Elway in the playoffs when they were in the same era too
