How did Dan Marino throw for 5k, his 2nd yr in 1984?

If only Marino had one ring, he would be considered GOAT. Damn shame.

Dolphins

How many times did you actually see him play that year? Like back in the day lets say you wanted to watch any other team. Im guessing you could see him 3 times a year in the regular season tops right? (counting twice if they play the jets)

like the 85 bears, was it like heresay to you guys till the playoffs?

I'm a Jets fan, saw him on Monday Night football, watched him on numerous weekly football shows when Steve Sabol and NFL films were in its heyday back then, during his playoff run and when he made bums you never heard of like Ron Davenport look like the next best thing.

Like why question me?

 

[Maschine_Man]

Never saw anything like that.

I'm old....and I saw it....

the best ever.
The reason I am now a (sad,bitter,angry) Dolphin fan.

 

[Maschine_Man]

Because he was the best passer the league has ever known.

I'm old like @NYC Rebel and us being Pats/Jets fans made us witness to all that first hand.

Growing up with Marino...and then having to go through what we have gone through the last decade plus has just destroyed me as a dolphin fan.

Marino owned the Jets, watching him play the Jets and evensome of the great games that they had together was great.
I miss those days...when the Pats were cellar dwellars and the Dolphins were always at the top of the division fighting it out with the Jets and Bills

The Jets/Dolphins rivalry will always be the real one for me. You get it....

yup to me its the biggest rivalry in the division for sure.

And considering its jets week(dolphins week for you).....this is a good time to bring it.



























































However, this may be the first time in forever that I actually want the Jets to win. I hope the Dolphins lose out. I'm so sick of the status quo with this team...we need more big changes. More High draft picks, and some more positive change.

Getting rid of Philbin and Coyle was a great start...but Campbell isn't the answer.

haha, I know, those shootouts those two had were insane...and alot of fun to watch.

Marino is the most naturally talented QB I have seen in my lifetime. He would be godly in this pass happy era of football. I will say this though, most defenses in the 80's were more built to stop the run, so having a gameplan of primarily airing it out was not that common.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Ronnie Lott and co shut him down

Yessir.

 

[Surreal]

Almost 20 yr later and still can't replace him....

 

[Surreal]

Old enuff to see him and Dan Fouts in their primes
