Beat pure passer ever in Football- IMO
Patrick Mahomes.

I think Mahomes is going to be the best qb ever..may not have the rings of Tom, but his talent is easily best ever potential.
Well besides Tua ya know
For sure. No one has to be as accurate today. W all the jump balls and wide open guys now. Look at how most of those throws Dan makes are w tiny windows. To receivers w small catch radius. I love Mahomes though. He is special but he doesn’t throw it like Dan - he does other things.Everybody talks about Mahomes and his uniqueness, but I’ve said from day one he reminds me a lot of Marino. The way he throws the deep ball, his consistent magical moments, and his doing it different than anyone else that’s playing right now. He’s special just like Dan was. Everyone also forgets how great he was at moving in AND out of the pocket. His feet were just as special as his arm. His ACCURACY was off the charts. Mahomes is def behind Dan in accuracy IMO.

Agreed 1000%. They both did/doing things at QB never seen before. They both Took over the NFL like a storm. Dans was quite a bit more shocking at the time IMO.For sure.

So true!!! He was the first I remember throwing the back shoulder throw With regularity. I remember commentators talking about that. Dan was deadly accurate!! He was def a revolutionary QB Talent and a once in a generational talent for sure.You make a great point re: tight windows. Dan was the best at that. Also, he was among the first to throw to spots on the field where he expected his receiver to be — e.g., low and to the outside where only the WR could get it — I recall Pat Haden talking about that early in Danny’s career.
Other things to consider when comparing Marino and Mahomes:
Danny was largely throwing to 2 small 5’9 receivers in an era where defenses could be physical and put their hands on them until the ball was in the air. The receivers also had to worry about getting leveled when crossing the linebackers in the middle of the field. And there were no targeting rules or QB protections of today.
So a lot of catches are made today that weren’t made in 1984 because a receiver wasn’t near as confident running across the field or going up for a contested catch. And QB’s are able to hang in the pocket with more confidence knowing defenders aren’t supposed to hit them too high or too low. Doing so extends drives that didn’t used to extend thus produces more yards, more points, more everything.
Meanwhile, other than the smallish Tyreke Hill and Mecole Hardman, Mahomes has receivers with good size such as Kelce, Watkins, and Robinson. And they don’t have to deal with DB’s playing physical with them from the snap til the ball is in the air. And they don’t have the same concerns of a safety like Ronnie Lott trying to run through them to break up a pass.
In his prime, Marino never had a Julio Jones, Jerry Rice, or Travis Kelce type, e.g., a big, fast physical freak or one of the GOAT’s of his or any generation.
She’s quite the hottie!That girl has some pair of legs. :)
Excuse me @Digital. I know exactly who Dan Marino is. He was a reasonably well known actor who played a supporting role in a hit movie
Maybe he did something else, but this was key
1000%. I loved watching Marino and I love watching Mahomes now. All of your points are spot on and they dominated relative to their peers in different eras in special ways.You make a great point re: tight windows. Dan was the best at that. Also, he was among the first to throw to spots on the field where he expected his receiver to be — e.g., low and to the outside where only the WR could get it — I recall Pat Haden talking about that early in Danny’s career.
