I noticed that as well when I reviewed his regular season stats. Drew Brees is a more recent example.
I'm tired of drafting O-line in the first as much as the next guy but we seriously just need to fix it once and for all if we want to elevate to the next level as a TEAM.
I think what 2 of you are missing is that Marino did elevate the teams in those 10 years. without him I doubt we make the playoffs past his first year. Those teams were not very good. Marino guided them to playoff half of those season with teams that had no business being there. After those first 2 seasons the defense dropped off and was horrible but Dan had us in contention almost every year. Some of those 8-8 years could have easily been 4-12
