Dan Fouts was no Dan Marino. Dan Marino was a stunningly awesome quarterback who had two very good wide receivers and no running game or very good defense to speak of.

Look at Fouts' numbers above, especially TD/INT, and now look at Marino's:

Pass attempts 8,358
Pass completions 4,967
Percentage 59.4
TD-INT 420-252
Passing yards 61,361
QB Rating 86.4
