There's no denying that Dan Marino is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time. Marino had a rocket launcher for an arm and one of the quickest releases of quarterbacks in his era in the 1980s and '90s. Yet still, the Miami Dolphins organization just couldn't provide him with the support that he needed to secure the Lombardi Trophy throughout his illustrious NFL career. Lackluster defenses and only one 1,000-yard rusher during his seventeen-year stint with the Dolphins failed him for what he so righteously deserved in gaining one Super Bowl victory.
Following his college football career at the University of Pittsburgh, Marino was the final selected quarterback picked 27th overall in the first round of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. Marino spent his entire career with the Dolphins leading the team to ten playoff berths and one Super Bowl appearance in 1984 (Super Bowl XIX). Marino also set single-season records in 1984 breaking the passing yards recordwith 5,084 yards and the single-season touchdown record with 48. This performance led him to NFL MVP honors for the year. To this day, Marino is considered the greatest quarterback of all-time to never win a Super Bowl.
