I for one would have been a Vikings fan for a year. No player is bigger than the team but the people in charge of this organization did Marino wrong. We gained nothing by not bringing Dan back, he had just took a paycut to help the organization then we reward him by saying don't bother coming back. It would have been differant if we had a young or better QB that we were going to play and Marino would not be our best option. We had no better option than Marino but we still cast him off. marino had a rough injury plagued year the season before but still was player of the week twice before he was injured. He came back too soon against Dallas and it showed, the coaching staff should have dictated when Marino came back or if they did they misevaluated. The constant blame that Johnson placed on Marino is just another reason I think he is a despicable person who helped to set this franchise back and on course for where we are now. Marino has shown a lot of class toward the organization especially considering his treatment so I would have just been happy for him. Marino was the greatest QB ever and the only reason that fact is ever question is because he did not gain a team accomplishment of a Super Bowl. There are many mediocre Qb's that have won Superbowls so its crazy that Marino's only chink in his armor always degrades his legacy to the sport.
