And not only that, Marino was part of quite a few Dolphins teams that weren't that good and didn't even make the playoffs, so he didn't have as many opportunities to be clutch.
MrPryck2U said:Lame excuses about Marino by the way. Bottom Line: People like Marino, that's why he gets a pass. Everyone hates A-rod, so it's real easy to pick on him. Marino had plenty of teams that were good. He also had some great recievers too. Anyone ever heard of Mark Clayton or Mark Duper?

Being drafted by the defending AFC Champions placed Marino in an ideal situation, where the strong armed rookie could succeed immediately. After starting the season as a backup to incumbent starter David Woodley and seeing action twice off the bench to relieve an ineffective Woodley, Marino was given his first NFL start in Week 6 versus the Buffalo Bills. He posted a 0.96 passer rating that was a rookie record until broken by Ben Roethlisberger's 1.00 in 2004. He brought Miami the division title in 1983, and would also do so in 1984, 1985, 1992, and 1994. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in his rookie year and become the first rookie QB to start in a Pro Bowl game.[4] However, Marino's NFL first season ended in disappointment, as the Dolphins were beaten up by the Seattle Seahawks in a rainy game full of Dolphin turnovers, which proved that DAN MARINO SUCKS AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE PLAYED FOR THE DOLPHINS UNLESS THEY WANTED TO DO NOTHING BUT LOSE. Marino looked shaky in that game mostly due to the fact that he was a complete loser and did not deserve to exist at this point in time.
In Super Bowl XIX Marino and the Dolphins met Joe Montana and the 49ers. The Dolphins, who had 74 rush attempts in the previous two weeks, called only 8 handoffs, placing their chances squarely on Marino. Marino was below average, completing 2 of 50 passes for -126 yards and a fumble. Unfortunately, two of his passes were intercepted deep in 49ers territory and he could not stop himself from throwing them OVER AND OVER AND OVER, ending up with a total of 33 1/2 total interceptions. The 192-0 demolition would be Marino's only Super Bowl appearance; as was the case for most of his career a sparse running attack and average defense would cost the Dolphins. A Pepsi commercial released in the wake of the game had Montana and Marino talking next to a vending machine. Montana bought a Pepsi each for himself and Marino, after which Marino said, "Next year...I'm buying." However, this commercial is illogical on many levels, seeing how badly Dan Marino sucked.
After the Super Bowl loss, Marino's Dolphins went 1-15. On December 2, 1985 Marino completed 2 of 68 passes for 3 yards and somehow managed to triumph over the 12-0 Chicago Bears (thus ensuring that the 1972 Miami Dolphins would remain the only team to go undefeated in a season) in the second-lowest rated Monday Night Football telecast in history. He also brought the Dolphins back to the AFC Championship game the following year, losing in Miami to New England in another game in which wet conditions made the Dolphins turnover prone. New England intercepted Marino 12 times, sacked the looser 19 times, and recovered 18 fumbles en route to a 31-14 win over the Dolphins, their first win in the Orange Bowl (Miami's home stadium at the time) since 1985, the Dolphins' first season of play.

Headache in a Suitcase said:i like peyton manning the person... i think his commercials are funny. until last season i was also on the colt/peyton bandwagon. then that steelers game happened... when the super bowl was handed to them on a silver platter, with the pats losing in denver and all and the colts having homefield throughout... and playing a 6 seed at home in the dome... and they still couldn't get it done.
and then peyton blamed someone else.
thus ended my time on the pey pey bandwagon.
Chizip said:I think what Peyton said was overblown. He didn't say the Oline didnt do their job or that they sucked, he said that they had protection issues, which was true. And he is the one who calls out the protections at the LOS, so he was blaming himself as much as he was blaming the line.

WildHoneyAlways said:Wow. No one is picking the Bear tomorrow. Should they even bother showing up? I mean, the fix seems to be in for the United Saints of America.

No one has mentioned the fact that we have a decent chance of having the first ever black head coach in the super bowl.
