Dan Marino would have rated much higher on the list if he had been able to add a Super Bowl ring to his extensive list of achievements during his long career.
Unusually, Maroni’s career record in the post-season dipped to 8-10 and his passer rating was a mere 771, but he still managed to record 61,361 passing yards and 420 touchdowns in a legendary NFL career.
