Drew Brees Wins the Marino Derby.
To truly appreciate New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees’s 2011 campaign, which has now seen him break Dan Marino’s 1984 record for most passing yards in a single season, it helps to break it down by game. Brees has thrown for 5,087 yards so far this year—that’s 339.1 yards per contest. He has completed 70.7% of his passes—best in the league by almost three percentage points—and only 2.1% of those passes have been interceptions. He averages 2.7 touchdown passes a game.

...brees gets an asterisk from ribit. Sure he broke Marino's single season record, but he had more games to do it in and he played the Falcons twice.
