You put too much emphasis on the QB position. If Marino played with Belichik as his coach in New England, you wouldn't be saying Brady at all. The first 5-6 years of Brady's tenure in New England, he was more or less a game manager backed by a good defense. Hell, he's much more important now than he ever was back then.
You think Jim Kelly is a choker even though he lost 3 Super Bowls? You think Marino is a choker?........or does it have to do with coaching and overall team?

You didn't give me your top 5.
Your argument is full of what-ifs.
Yes, I put a lot of emphasis in the QB position. That's why he is the most important player on the field. Btw, Manning played on some amazing offenses, with outstanding playmakers (Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Edgerrin James) and it was the offenses that stalled in all the big games.
Pretty sure Kelly choked in 4 straight superbowls. In his case it was the entire team that choked, but more than that he played against superior NFC teams in the Superbowl. Marino, his teams were never that amazing. He was the only brightspot.
