Marino Trivia- How much do you know about Dan the Man?

In the never-ending quarterback controversy, different quarterbacks are described by different people as the best ever. Some people believe that Joe Montana, with his San Francisco dynasty, was the greatest. Others think that John Elway, with “The Drive” and his wins from behind, was the best. Some people even argue that Archie Manning, if he had ever played for a decent team, would have gone down in history.

No matter who you defend in the controversy over the greatest quarterback to ever play the game, there’s no arguing that Dan Marino was one of them.
