In my opinion, Dan Marino was the best quarterback of my generation (basically from the late 1970s on). Miami's problem in those days was that it was a very one-dimensional team -- as you've pointed out with regard to their lack of a running game.

I don't know why that team has always been like that. If you go back through their history you'll be amazed at just how few good running backs they've ever had.

In my opinion, Dan Marino was the best quarterback of my generation (basically from the late 1970s on). Marino made all his yards when games were out of reach and he HAD to throw. A great quarterback finds a way to win. Great quarterbacks carry the team and find a way to win the big games.... It sucks but that's just the way it is... Pastorini got stuck in the worst situation being in the same division as the Steelers...almost beat them except for 1 bad call. Doesn't matter...nobody remembers him...but they remember the one of the toughest SOB's to ever play..Bradshaw.

I hate him and the Steelers for beating the cr@p out of my Cowboys....but that's just the way the ballgame goes.

Marino is just not that great...sorry.
