Geez guys, it's the pressure, the thought, the memories, the comebacks, the fake spike, and the records of one Dan "The Man" Marino!!!
You can trace all the fear, the hopelessness, the resentment, the letdowns, the embarrassments, and the jokes back to the HOF great as well.
It was the 62-7 defeat at the hands of Jacksonville. Since that day forth we have all dealt with, and recently I have diagnosed this traumatic mental occurrence as "SHOCK-AWW-NO-QB" syndrome. It's a system overload in the region of the brain that controls cheering. This is a something every Dolphins fan at one time or another has in one way shape or form felt or experienced. It comes and goes but when it strikes it causes the average person to question the validity, the capability, the accuracy, the determinability, and the will of any given QB not named Dan Marino. It has destroyed us, spoiled us, ruined us, poisoned us, and made us rotten to the core when it comes to our expectations alone.
As of date, we haven't found a cure. But I'm here to tell you we might already have the key to unlocking the key component to finally beat this thing. Of course it's still up in the air, but all things considered... we have a guy who did pretty darn good last year with what he had and was asked to do. And that without a full off-season program and conditioning camp. I believe we haven't even seen the best of him yet, yet people are so quick to dismiss all but a glimmer of hope because ya know, things never go right for us. Listen I'm not naive, it's abundantly clear we don't have a long term solution at the position currently. But never let past failures cloud or blind you from the truth. And that's that Matt Moore is one heck of a quaterback!
So, I voted No! He will play well as our starter.
