Scott Mitchell, the then Dolphins back up QB did a pretty good job for a few games. He then also injured himself and then Doug Pederson came in into QB.. At that point the Dolphins signed veteran Steve Deberg who played a few games until Mitchell was healthy enough to finish off the season. Marino came back the very next year to throw 30 touchdowns and for over 4000 yards.
NFL quarterbacks can throw the ball varying distances. Some quarterbacks with weaker arms can only throw the ball 60 yards or so, while others (like Raiders' QB Jamarcus Russell) can heave the pigskin in excess of 70 yards.
