Guys, don’t compare stats from the 60s to the 80s or today. The game was completely different. DBs could bump, push, etc the WR as long as the ball wasn’t in the air.

Add to it OL had the keep their hands in. They couldn’t grab the DL like they do now. Offenses were at a disadvantage then.

INTs then weren’t the bugaboo they are today. Many were simply punts on 3rd down throwing deep down field on a jump ball. Teams threw deep far more then than today. Hell a team may go a complete game today throwing check downs & never throw deep. In the 60s, especially the AFL, teams would throw deep almost every series.

Namath was a good QB, not a great QB, but he did it basically with no legs. He’d be better today with improved medical procedures instead of the butcher shop surgeries they did back then. He was an icon with his lifestyle and he won the biggest upset in my 50+ years in watching pro football

I wish some of the rules would go back to the way they were...... I loved watching Hayes and Haynes for the raiders go at receivers..... they were so intimidating..... nowadays.... even below average QBs like Goff has 2 4,600 yard seasons.

As far as just natural arm talent Marino may be the best that’s ever played. Could you imagine him playing today with the rules so much in favor of the offense? I mean he set the passing records in 1984. Marino might throw for 6000 and 60 TDs in today’s game.

As a lifelong Dolphins fan, who has spent WAY too much time, defending Marino’s place among the NFL greats, you guys have brought a smile to this Dolphin fan’s face today.
GBO!!

He was great for his time, in spite of his ruined legs and would be great today.

our fan base has lost their drive and hunger man

90 percent of people in here are hiding behind the “just being realistic” wall assuming this kid (a legacy recruit) is going anywhere except here to carve his own path.. hilariously speaking like they already know his situation

Meanwhile, LSU fans will practically ban the whole family from Louisiana if he goes anywhere except there. Ole Miss fans seem to think they have it locked up too.

Imo it’s still way too early. We won’t know anything for months. But Im confident we’ll land him after he sees us go from last to top 5 in scoring in the conference after just one offseason 🤷‍♂️
