I didn't know your dad so I went back and read some of his posts. I've quoted his last post, on March 13 at 4:52pm in response to a thread which the thread starter said he predicted from Marshalls pro bowl comments that he was looking to be traded,
"Pure Genius, yea hindsight's like that after you watch a guy inplode in 3 seperate games and occassionally give up on routes and All those dropped passes....had nothing to do with the scrubs throwing the balls. "
That seems like a good overview of what Marshall brought to Miami, a lot of talent and a lot of underachievement. That along with other comments following the Dallas loss indicating people that believed in Sparano and Moore are in a fog kind of makes me think that he thought like I do and he knew the Dolphins pretty well. Anyway, your dad's decisions early on may have led to him to being dealt a tough hand. I have to believe the way he turned his back on alcohol was with Christ Gods help and so I hope he saw the light of salvation and is surrounded by it now.
