This read literally made me laugh out loud. I'm praying it's a joke topic, because I don't want to think any Dolphins fan is this moronic.
Russell was picked over Quinn because he has a huge arm, a big frame, has scrambling abilities and has a some great potential. Oakland likes to go deep and they have a terrible offensive line. Quinn would've gotten murdered by the 5th game if he was a Raider.
To say that the SOLE reason Quinn was taken over Russell was due to the Sugarbowl is completely and utterly ridiculous. Scouts don't look at one game, they look at entire seasons. Marino had quite a few lousy games, does that mean that he wasn't the better Quarterback than the one he was playing? Maybe that day, but career wise, hell no.
I don't know what you expect from Beck. If Marino wasn't good enough to lead the Dolphins (and throughout his tenure in Miami, Dan had some pretty good teams to work with) to a championship, what makes you think Beck could beat ND?
