1. In order to compensate for his ordinary arm (its not weak, just not outstanding) he makes very very quick decisions on where to go with the ball-much quicker than what we are used to seeing even going back to Chris Miller. With the Redskins by the time he had finished a three-step drop he could be all the way through the 3rd guy in the pattern.
2. When he throws his ball is point end up as opposed to down. If you were a high school or college receiver you know those types of balls are easier to catch and don't tend to bounce out like a ball point end down. Marino throws point end up even though he guns the ball.
3. He is not afraid to throw or try to throw in between two people but throw so early into the pattern and has such a compact delivery that the defense usually does not have time to react to the ball.
4. He is very very good at play action fakes...almost the equal of Steve Deberg my personal yardstick for years at that task.
5. Maybe most importantly....Isaac Bruce likes him and likes catching his passes.
