Happy Birthday to the greatest quarterback to ever play the game, Dan Maino! Marino retired after the 1999 season, holding 23 NFL passing records. He was the first player in league history to throw for 50,000 yards in a career, 60,000 yards in a career, have 7,000 passing attempts, 8,000 passing attempts, throw 400 career touchdown passes, had the first 40 touchdown pass season, and the first 5,000 passing yard season. All this, while playing in an era when the league allowed receivers to be mugged and quarterbacks to be crushed.
Marino was selected to nine Pro Bowls in his career and was the 1984 league MVP.
