It's really unbelievable the athletes at the QB position today, for all their running ability and mobility as "immobile" as Marino appears now that he developed the knack to elude hard charging players in the pocket like that and he looked so comfortable doing it.
He didnt panic, kept his eyes downfield and completed the pass for a TD, vick would have taken off and Vick has never (probably never will either)developed that skill.
Of course not to totally knock Vick because he is exciting to watch but I can admire a guy like Marino for being the passer he was as a QB.
It seems like that type of QB is lost in the trend of mobility at the position today.
Has the game changed that much because of the speed of the defenses now that a Marino type ability in the pocket may never be seen again at the QB position?

The problem with Marino was, as great a passer I thought he was, you just can't win a SB with him because of a lack of a running game..
Bruce Smith said it best when I saw an interview with him a few years ago.. he was talking about Marino and how he always gives away the run.. He said, Marino's hips give it away right at the snap .. He turns his hips/waist a certain way and it's a dead giveaway to the defense that Miami was going to run the ball.
Smith went on further and said, even when Marino tried a play action fake (which he sucked at by the way) , teams knew he was going to pass anyway because his hips didn't move after the snap went he went back like they were going to run the ball
Smith said the whole league knew this, and every defense knew this about Marino for over 10 years .. And that's why he said Miami didn;t have a 1000 yard rusher for so long during MArino's tenure..
I loved Marino's talent throwing the ball.. he had an amazing quick release, he was extremely accurate, and his timing throws and anticipation was off the charts .. However, too bad he didn't work on his play action technique and movements right after the snap without giving it away to the defense.. That was his downfall, and it was Miami's downfall as well.. Marino just told defenses when we were gonna run, and he couldn't sell the play action fakes...If Marino was better at not giving things away (like Montana and the other greats) , I would call him the greatest ever if he worked on that bad trait .
