These clips you are breaking down are already in a slow-motion. So all those ~.5 sec releases are really .3 and less. Goes to show you how good the greats really were
Dan was a field general. His quick release was only one his attributes. No one had faster eye to brain to arm coordination then Dan. His hip rotation was unique and the weight (balance) on his left leg at release was fantastic. Also his amazing ability to side step defenders during blitzes was uncanny. I have yet to see another QB that has all those weapons, Marino was unique.
Marino adjusted his release time depending on the situation. If he sensed a throwing window closing or pass rushers getting close he would get it out much quicker than if he had no rush bearing down on him and wide open recievers. You have to pick the right situation to get a good idea of just how quick he actually was. Also, Marino's throwing motion and release got significantly quicker in the 90s than it was in the 80's. If you want to see Marino's quickest releases you have to look at 92-98 film. As he got older he improved his release time and it helped him avoid punishment on his aging body. When Marino decided he had to get it out quickly he was faster than anyone in NFL history.
i agree with john. marino had the quickest release in nfl history and made adjustments to how quick he wanted or needed to be depending on the throwing window and circumstances. i don't know if this performance lab expired all video available to show marino's fastest attempt. i can't load a video but i know of a semi-pro quarterback who could throw a perfect dart from 7 yards deep in the shotgun and hit a receiver 2 feet from the sideline before a defender 6 yards off could close. from catching the snap to the ball hitting the numbers of the receiver took less than 1.5 seconds. he made this throw without making sure the laces were set so all in one motion he caught the snap and threw at about 59 mph hitting a receiver approximately 29 yards away by angle. likely the fastest release period.
You know, people used to ask him what the key was to his release was and he'd say to rotate it 90 degrees right at ear level, although this was in the early 90s after he refined his motion a bit. I wasn't an QB, but I was an outfielder and even in grade school I could gun dudes down from deep in the outfield just because I copied Dan Marino's throwing motion. I think that twist loads everything up a bit more, but that's just my theory. The shocking thing about Marino was just how fast he processed the field and how casual he was about generating the monstrous velocity on his throws. I've never in my life seen a flatter 40 yard throw.
@@dbern939 Don't know that he's ever spoken about it on video and if he has I doubt it's been uploaded to RUclips. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.
Morey, I appreciate your videos and am a fan. I'm also the biggest Marino fan that ever lived. Key things I think you should consider are: (1) "The ball goes up and out" is the perfect simple phrase to tell a promising young quarterback learning how to throw. Their mind will adjust to the subtlties. (2) You can't say guys like Lamar Jackson, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, etc. have faster releases. These guys don't exist without learning from Marino. (3) In the words of Ron Jaworski, Marino came into the league a polished product, that just doesn't happen. His release actually improved over time. Great got greater. You have to look at film from the early 90s and later.
He’s not telling what makes him better than any NFL who today. He had the quickest release back then and most of the nfl players of any an to this day. What separates his delivery from any other an is his quick release with all that velocity. Marino could fit the football in in between two defenders and it happened every single game of his career
GREAT VIDEO BREAKDOWN. I never liked how a lot of people tried to say, Marino (who I'm a big fan of) was just a natural thrower of the football like he was "BORN WITH IT." I know for a fact, Marino's father was a football coach and as a kid, his father taught him how to throw a football THE CORRECT WAY, RIGHT FROM THE START, so he AVOIDED "WINDING UP THE FOOTBALL" before he threw it like most kids do! So, as he started playing "ORGANIZED FOOTBALL", coaches didn't have to "CHANGE" his THROWING MOTION or teach him "HOW" to throw correctly. ON THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM: Philip Rivers' father was also a football coach, and as a kid, Rivers tried to emulate QBs, but he couldn't throw "CORRECTLY", but his father never taught him the proper way, so he had to "WIND UP" his arm before throwing it. It was never corrected! This is why Rivers still has that FUNKY THROWING MOTION / RELEASE, even to this day! In college, they thought about changing his MOTION / RELEASE, and the same thing when he was drafted by the Chargers, but he's been so accurate throwing it that way, that they decided to just leave it alone!
DCOOP THE MANN all great qbs we watch on Sunday are not born but instead developed over countless hours of study and working out. NFL is way too advanced for anyone to just naturally be great. Every week teams are generating new blitzes, coverages and situations to put players and especially QBs on edge. Only the strong continue to prosper..
What gave Dan Marino his quick release was not only his physical release but also how fast he would read a defense and unload the ball. In other words his football IQ.. As far as physical release take a look at these following clips Below clips ruclips.net/video/XeCzGtxbBxo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/NgH5exLGlRg/видео.html
Marino and his dad had Joe Namath’s book “A Matter Of Style”by Joe Namath and Bob Oates,Jr.It has in depth instructions on Namath’s throwing motion, drop back and footwork along with tips on playing the position.Find a copy on E Bay and train your son to throw like Namath(Marino).If a young Dan Marino was playing now he’d burn the league to the ground.It’s funny when people talk about how amazing Mahomes or other young QB’s are in their first seasons like no one’s ever been that good so early.His rookie year Dan was as good as anyone,his second year he was the best to ever play.He destroyed the 85 Bears,Montana got 3 points against the Bears that year playing with same great Niners team that beat the Dolphins in the Super Bowl.Marino put up 31 points in the first half on 5 possessions.There’s lots of video on RUclips showing how great a passer he is.Not a game manager,he’s a gunslinger.If you have a great,balanced team, you’re probably better off with Montana or Brady.If you have a good team with a mediocre defense then Marino or Namath or Mahomes is a better choice.
Bro i just want to thank you, because i been trying so hard to lern how to throw a football and now you put me on a good book. Ima but it of ebay and get my throwibg good !
@@Yeomannn bro im not gonna lie it really did help me throw tighter spirals and it showed me step by step how to do it. With my foot placement my accuracy where my arm should be . 10/10 book but now im looking for a wide receiever book cause that what im aiming at atm
Im not sure what method of measurement you are using, but its not accurate. Russ, Lamar or anyone having as quick a release.......SAID NOONE EVER. The naked eye is all the proof we need. There must be something about the older film that has your timing mechanism off.

Marino, Namath, both could throw bullets. Watch videos and it’s easily seen. Favre and Elway probably the longest throwers, as well as Daryl Lamonica. Brady has enjoyed the best protection, coach, and receivers, is a whining weanie, but people refer to him as the greatest. Montana does not have the greatest stats, had a serious back injury mid-career, and elbow later, but overall, with a game on the line, I’ll bet on Joe Cool Montana every time.
Dan marino is my favorite qb

That is what makes the Quarterback position unique. Montana, Brady, Manning, Vick, Favre all of them unique but great Quarterbacks nonetheless.
Elway

If you've watched football, it's obvious Dan Marino had the quickest release in the history of the NFL.

Definitely a special talent. Really transcended the game in being the first QB who consistently had attempts comparable to QBs today.
Thanks for your comment, really helped me with my stroke. Do you know where we can find footage of him talking about his mechanics?
@@dbern939 Don't know that he's ever spoken about it on video and if he has I doubt it's been uploaded to RUclips. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

Plus Marino’s ball in the air matters more than being .17 seconds slower. It’s a fair trade in exchange for a beautifully placed spiral from heaven.
Who was faster than Marino?????? You must divulge because you are the ONLY person on history of planet earth to say this.
Yeah they look at tape of Dan Marino is the reason qbs today are so great

Marino keeps the front shoulder closed. It allows for no wasted motion. The harder or farther he has to throw it, the more he leans into the throw.

does it not matter length of the throw
When he hit the drop back right and threw off that… it was a registered weapon throw
Wow, cool video, super amazing. But little load is weird, thanks!
Yup. Doesn’t get the elbow behind though
So when the ball goes behind my head to much is that because I’m not using enough hips or is there something else?
Sebslasher 88 something else. Means you are slow with your elbow and wrist
Performance Lab of California Thanks do you have any tips on how to stop that from happening?
do u think the huge shoulder pads have a impact on release timing. He wearing shoulders pads of a linebacker.
Could you do one on Baltimore colts QB Bert Jones!
Do Drew Blesoe and Warren 🌕

I will watch the vid tommorow because big have to go to bed for shook it is 9:14
Chase Gable let me know how you like it!
This video makes me laugh.

Your judging him on a 50 yard throw dummy, he had to load it a little longer to throw ur 50 yards! Judge a 15 yard route where hes driving it quickly.
Lol if you watched the video you would see he actually got the all out faster on the further throw..
