You can really only compare players from the same era. Same for baseball or really any sport.. With that said, Marino in '84 was just flat out ridiculous.

And back then nikkas was actually allowed to play defense
Not pass defense. The 84 Dolphins were the first team to ever run a spread passing attack, Marino's season was as much a product of defenses not knowing how to guard them as it was his own skill.
Did you watch football prior to 04? You tryna tell me the game is being officiated the same way the last 30 years? Nothing has changed? The letter of the rules as far as down field contact may not have changed since then but they are certainly being enforced much more stringently now. Like I said there is a clear distinction between early last decade and afterwards as far as what defenses can get away with and shyt was steadily shifting prior to that.
You literally cannot touch the QB now and you can't really hit guys or jam them anymore. These are new developments. It's a different game now and there is really no debate.
at the lengths nikkas will go to to try to make a flimsy point. nikkas breaking records that stood for 30 years every year and all of the advantages that offenses are afforded now having nothing to do with it it's all about how good these guys are and their understanding of the game.

With the way the league is now a season like one Stafford had in 2011 or Daunte in 2004 wont even be mentioned as an all time great season. Stafford's numbers are inflated with all the passing attempts but Daunte's season in 2004 was and still is one of the best I've ever seen from a QB.

The great years all these QBs are having after Polian enforced the "no-contact after 5 yards" rule should be in a different category. Brady, Manning, Brees, and ROdgers greatly benefited from that rule change and since then, even more rules have been implemented to favor the passing game.
Marino did it when DBs were still grabbing and tugging well past 5 yards. You cats might not remember this, but the way it was called back then was that DBs could mug the shyt out of receivers until the ball left the QBs hands. Imagine that shyt.

He also became the first QB to rush for over 1,000 yards that season.
He threw for under 2500 yards at a 53% clip with a TD/INT ratio of 20-13 with his team going 7-9(not putting blame on him for this but still)
That is simply not worthy of consideration for top ten all time QB season, thats ridiculous.
RGIII arguably had a better season as a rookie than that
