I've got a great book written by JJ. He describes how he was handcuffed on offense becuase he came to the Dolphins with a figure like Marino at QB. Alot of his draft decisions were based around him .....he said his greatest regret was treating Dan Marino differently then just a player, a piece of the offense. He urged Dave Wannabe to move on from him in 2000.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

WOWWW!!! You just dissed Dan Marino and basically lamented the fact he was here DESPITE his HALL OF FAME career. And you are basically saying it would have been better for us to NOT have had him but to have had more linemen.

I don't know, Chryen; as for Tanneyhill, he is doing a pretty good job with Tenn.

Tenn plays the same TYPE of offense as his college, TA&M, and his Big Springs High School, Cap.
