Dan Marino to be inducted into Hall of Fame

Tomorrow, Dan Marino, arguably the best pure passing quarterback to have ever played, will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Marino holds numerous NFL passing records, including most touchdowns and yards in a career. His best season was his second season as a pro, 1984, when he shattered the record for most touchdowns in a season (48) and most yards in a season (5,084). (His season touchdown record was just eclipsed by Peyton Manning's 49 last year.) That year, the Dolphins went 14-2 and made their only appearance in the Super during Marino's career, losing to the 49ers.

I consider Marino to be the best QB ever. His critics point out that he never won a Super Bowl, but football is more of a team sport than any other sport, and Marino was unlucky in never having the supporting cast to help him win a championship.
