Dan Marino 40 Yard Behind the Back Pass

Unreal. Best right arm in the history of football

 

dude treated the football like his little biXXX...always trusted his swing

 

Good Lord I miss watching him play

 

Can you imagine the numbers he would have put up in today's game with the rules the way they are now?

 

that was awesome.

 

That was more accurate than most of Ryan Tannehill's deep passes

 

Lol

 

It looked like it. Probably right before yet another Beatdown from them. I used to hate them with a passion.

 

Absolutely. I could only really see him on mnf

 

Kelly and his Offense had great weapons. Phins Defense couldn't match up well. Marino matched up well to any Defense.

 

That looks like Popgun Pennington putting all he's got into a throw. LOL

 

Never heard of him.

 

Dan the man?

 

Shades of sonny jurgenson.

 

You might be joking but you're right.

 

How bout that giant Marlboro sign, front and center. '80s NFL baby.

 

.

Yeah, I hated the Bills so much more than the Jets in the early 90s. I lived in Western NY at the time and went to so many of those games and I think they lost just about every one I went too. Used to wear a Brian Cox Jersey up in there too. I was about 12 years old and had all sorts of **** thrown at me.

 

Dan is the only one who could lead Mike Wallace. Even behind his back.

 

80's NFL might be my favorite decade of football. Before all the rule changes, before mass free agency, before everything became so money motivated, and when the play was more straight forward. To me there was more personality to the game back then.

 

That was my first thought when seeing the video. God damned tobacco companies. I despise 'em.

 

IMO, the best ten year period was '65 to '75. DSFDF.

 

Ahh, the good 'ole years of '74-75. I remember them well from my crib and highchair.

 

True story. I was in an elevator with Gary Clark one day years and years ago. And, after the initial realization that I was in the company of a former NFL player, I ask him to meet a friend of mine who's a huge Skins fan. We get off on the floor where my friend is, I introduce them, they have their exchange, he gets Gary's autograph etc. After a few minutes of this my friend says to Gary that I'm a Dolphins fan. Gary turns to me, looks me dead in the eye all serious like and says "no lie, 40 yards, behind his back, on the money. Dan Marino. Never seen anything like it."

Now I understand what he was talking about. That was really cool. Thanks for sharing CK!

 

Lol....dang. It takes a real fan to go to the Buffalo away games knowing full well Miami wasn't going to win. I used to dread them going up there in the cold. Just knew it's be a loss back in the late eighties - early nineties. I commend you sir.

 

his talent/skill was so PURE and ABSOLUTE, it was/is just so beautiful to watch, kinda of mesmerizing

wonderful video, thanks for sharing, so many great players, Clayton, theMan, Roby, Jensen

ps- shame on me, I didn't know that Reggie Roby has passed away, RIP

 

What tipped you, the Marlboro sign or the logo on the wall?

 

Greatest QB of all time.

 

He would dominate this league even with this ****ty offensive line we have.Not to mention these lineman and backs would be to scared to give up a sack because he would tear them a new *******!!!
I love tanny but he will never be marino.

 

that loss, in our home in the play off, was so freaking painful, I wanted to cry...and it was a true blood bath, as usual no running game: they had Thurman Thomas and Kenneth Davis, we had Bobby Humprhey and Aaron Craver (I think he ended playing Fullback and winning the super bowl with the broncos, but I am not sure)
damn, that buffalo team was really really full of talent, offense and defense, I hated them... (now, not so much, in my eyes they paid their debt losing 4 Super Bowls in a row, lol)

about Dan in today NFL, I agree it would awesome... the guy was tough to bring down with the old rules , imagine today, when there are several spots you can touch and you can always throw the ball away just stepping out of the pocket (a rule that I despise).... he was so big and a matador in the pocket

almost tragic that he doesn't have a ring

 

Yep, you got that right.We were so spoiled for 17 years.I always felt we had a chance no matter the score with 13 behind center.
