50 from Marino

Well worth the 9 minutes of my life 20 times
Thanks for that. I remember when we lost the SB to San Fran. Always figured we would be back. Such a waste of talent, Danny is the best QB to never win the ring no doubt
We just haven't been able to put all the pieces together in a long while hopefully we are headed that way again.
The highlights don't even due justice how good he was. Not many athletes have been special must see every game.
For me (I'm 56) Marino, Pedro Martinez with the Red Sox and Larry Bird are the only 3 that have made that
level. I know there are others, but those are the only 3 from "my" teams in 50 years of Fandom.
Dan was ahead of his time and such a joy to watch.

I wouldn’t call it a waste. He gave us years of fantastic play and fun memories. Serious question. Would you rather have had the Dolphins run with Marino and no titles or a run of every season but one of a mediocre team and then one fluke season where they won it all. I don’t think I’d made that trade.

Funny. I’m am also a Red Sox, Celtics and Dolphins fan. I think you are discounting how good Roger Clemens was though.
ha, not really. I saw him live plenty, and it seems like every time I saw him he sucked. Which I know is not true, but felt that way, so never felt that special vibe (even before he went to the Yankees). I did sit behind home plate and see him throw a masterpiece in AA New Britain in a playoff game though, lol.
Saw Bird and Marino live plenty and they were all "events". Good times
I'll take those Marino years. They were a blast, they had winning records most every year (even with the putrid late '80's defenses). There was always the hope
a SB was close.

He’s the best QB I’ve ever seen play. Bar none.
Rings are a team/org accomplishment. He clearly was good enough to win multiple titles had he been part of the right team/org.
Outside of running with the ball, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. The most fearless and confident QB I’ve ever seen too.
I watched his entire career real time. I can’t think of many instances where the Dolphins had a chance to win late in the game with the ball in his hands and he failed. It didn’t happen often.
At one point in time he had the most comebacks with 2 min or less remaining.
For me, Dan will always be the mold a QB should be made from.
He knew how to take that step to side and sling the ball downfield with very little effort. He threw 48 of those in 1984.
Still unbelievable after all these years. That man had an amazing arm.

It’s true. Some of those throws…it’s the reason I started watching football.
Back on those days we were never out of the game
