    Dan Marino or John Elway on your team?
    People are going to say Elway.I disagree.Elway's 2 championships were due to Terrell Davis.Dan Marino's pure passing ability and respect that he demanded on the field from his players was awesome.Marino NEVER HAD A RUNNING BACK.Tony Nathan? Give me a break.Marino had a great connection with Mark Clayton and Mark Duper.Granted,Elway was the comeback king(best in the game) and a great athlete but Marino was a multiple sport player also.

    The numbers that Marino compiled and the way that he did it are amazing.It sucks that he didn't get back to the super bowl but Dan Marino is better than John Elway by a small margain in my opinion

      Both great, but I grew an Elway fan. The comeback element you're talking about made him the best IMO. The Broncs were never out of it

        No comparison, Elway. Danny could not move well and never made big plays with his feet.

          mobility is a very good point but Marino had less support and he's just more of a pure passer

            Elway got some very ordinary teams to the Super Bowl, he didn't win those but he could win with less.

              I'm a big Marino fan, but it's hard to go against Elway in this situation.

                Agreed. Elway slight lean for me, He willed those early teams to the Super Bowl.

                      Marino never had a real running game let alone a 2,000 yard rusher

                          Elway. In his prime he could win by himself. He was a great running QB(ask any Cleveland fan), Marino was a great QB but always had great recievers and a stout defense, which were Shula trademarks.

                                            Dan Marino had more 4th quater/overtime comeback wins than Elway. Marino had 36, Elway had 34. Brett Favre has 42. Maybe Favre is the comeback King.

                                                  dad: Bret has played longer-compiling is the key word--come to think of it,Elway played longer than Marino.Than god for him that he had Terrell Davis taking the concussions in a 5 year career.Marino had no running support and had to air it out often.MARINO NOT EVEN CLOSE(WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT)---YOU NEED A RUNNING AND PASSING GAME--WHERE WAS MARINO'S RUNNING GAME? DID ELWAY THROW FOR 48 TD'S IN A SEASON. NO!

                                                              Elway would be my choice.

                                                                Uh yea, you might have to ask your dad or try googling the undeafted season coach don shula. They had some good defenses. I think Marino went to 1 superbowl against the 49'ers. That season they also had a good defense.

                                                                One more thing about Elway, he was a mudder unlike fair weather superstar Marino.
