Nobody else had a Marino. He was beyond special.
I'd rate him and Montana 1 -2, take your pick as to who goes where, ahead of Brady for their sheer ability to play the quarterback position. Arm, accuracy, reading a D, putting the ball where it had to go when under pressure when taking hit after hit, (Brady wilted) and clutch play (without refs turning a blind eye to 4th quarter holding on the O line) to win games, inspiring the best in his teammates, decent men on and off the field, all of it.
Their era was a Golden Age of modern football.
