First, I think it is about the arm. I agree, I think there probably are some farm boys out there that have a stronger arm but putting a fine accuracy on all that strength is a whole lot harder to find.
Second. Of course he was cool in the pocket, he had an offensive line and backfield around him that one job and one job only, protect the quarterback. I believe I remember hearing or reading that he had the quickest release of any QB in history because of a lightning fast arm and a two or three step drop.
I'll concede that the guy was deadly accurate and could fire a perfect frozen rope virtually every time. Couple that with receivers who probably practiced timing patterns in their sleep and yeah, you will win a bunch of games. But calling a one dimensional team great in my opinion is a stretch. Balance an explosive running game to an accurate passing game mirrored to an iron defense and that will be a team that will win superbowls.
Yes/No ??

A high caliber running back would have been nice, also. Marino could make any decent receiver look great; but, without a good running back, the offense was on and off the field too fast. The defense was on the field for a much larger percentage of play time. Miami has not been a great team in a long time. Marino on the other hand was a great QB. I'm not a fair weather fan; so, I've stuck it out. Who knows, maybe there will be another Griese with a Super Bowl ring at Miami one day. Stranger things have happened.
