LOL...no biggy man.

PS: About the whole Marino as God/Goat, Some will disagree, clearly, but I do believe the failure to get in and win the big game taints his record.

Clearly he had immens talent in the skills needed to throw the ball, etc. But he apparently lacked some leadership skills needed to lead them to the ultimate victory.


Not the same for a WR or LB or other position.

I don't take much away from him in the fact that he has not won a SB. Think about it, he is one of 22 players (not including special teams) on that field. Granted he touches the ball tied for the most, or the 2nd most on the team (center), but there is a team out there.

Under Shula's tenure (83-95) the defense ranked under 10th only 3 times. Their average defensive rank was 15.46 over that span, and keep in mind there were 28 teams, they were below average for Marino's entire career.

Under Jimmie Johnson (1996-1999), here were his defensive ranks, 17th, 16th, 1st, 19th.

How many 1000 yard rushers did he have? So he didn't have a running game, and he didn't have good defenses...how the hell was he supposed to win with that?
