Does everyone fully appreciate what an insane season @DanMarino had in 1984? Back then, defenses were allowed to cover and tackle. 𝐍𝐅𝐋 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 PASS TDs 1984 - Dan Marino (48) 2023 - Dak Prescott (36) PASS YARDS 1984 - Dan Marino (5,084) 2023 - Tua Tagovailoa (4,624)
Also, Tua and Dak started 17 games. Marino started 16.
@BackAftaThis @DanMarino The next highest total in ‘84 was Krieg’s 32. Which means Marino *averaged* another TD pass every week.
@BackAftaThis @DanMarino Ok, not saying @DanMarino wasn't great, or that his 1984 season wasn't also great, but other QBs have bested those numbers, so why just use 2023? You kind of lose credibility when you focus on the past season. His numbers were awesome for the era he played, stop mixing eras.
@BackAftaThis @DanMarino Totally agree. That 84' Marino season is top 5 all time for any Era
@BackAftaThis @DanMarino He was so good. Still angry the Jets did not draft him.
@BackAftaThis @DanMarino And without a great RB
@BackAftaThis @DanMarino The right way to appreciate it is Marino had 48 touchdowns that year. Second was Dave Krieg at 32 and Montana had 28.
