Food for thought Ron....Marino had a tandem consisting of two of the best recievers in NFL history in Mark Clayton and Mark Duper for most of his career......guess thats why Marinos passing numbers are so "padded"! Who was carrying who on whos back?
1984 season the Dolphins started the season 11-0....went on to the Superbowl against the 49'ers and I remember watching that one well....the great Marino was anemic! He could not start a fire with a flamethrower that day......I remember he looked so nervous and flustered in that one. He had a team that season every bit as good as SF and he lost because he could not beat the best. (Period)
For the record....I am not knocking Marino as a quarterback, simply trying to make my point to Ron that Marino failed to get it done.
There are great quarterbacks....like Marino, who have all the passing records and numbers and such.....but no ring.
Then there is the best quarterback....Montana, who has some of the best passing stats of any quarterback ever, holds just as many records as Marino and his career numbers are almost as good......difference is he has 4 rings on his finger....he earned them......he was the coolest ever under pressure and handled a two minute offense better than any other quarterback ever has.....and that was the one thing Marino did not possess.......coolness under pressure!
