His passing ability was and still is uniquely superior because he could get the ball from point A to point B anywhere within 60 yards, sideline to sideline, as quickly and accurately as any other QB to ever play the game.
There was, and still is a noticeable and obvious difference between Marino in his prime and other great passers in their primes. Aaron Rodgers is in the same spectrum as Marino from a pure passing standpoint and I'd say his throwing ability stands out in the crowd of great QBs today.
Aaron Rodgers is the most talented QB playing today. Not Tom Brady.

I'm not saying Marino wasn't very good, because he was! I did watch him in College and there were multiple reasons why he was the 6th QB taken in his Draft year. Only in hindsight, should have been taken earlier.
And as far as strong Arms, you have to include Michael Vick. Never liked him him but he could fling it!
