Maybe Dan Marino

Who is the best professional football player to never win a Super Bowl? For my money, it is Dan Marino who ignited the Dolphins offense with his quick release of passes and uncanny accuracy. Just in throwing mechanics, the former Pitt Panther star has to rank at the top. No, he did not have much mobility, particularly as his career wound down, after numerous injuries, but man, he could throw. For fans of the mobile quarterback, Fran Tarkenton has to claim that unwanted honor. At least, the scrambler extraordinaire made it to the biggest game multiple times, but never quite grabbed the ring. I am sure either great would have gladly traded some of their formidable stats for a championship.
