ets and got his first win. Marino was up for rookie of the year and his onlycompition was running back Eric Dickerson. Miami fell in love with their newyoung quarterback. He lead the team to the playoffs his first year. But wereknocked out by the Seahawks.The next year is the season we all know about. The 1984 is when he was a partof a record breaking season for himself and his team. Dan passed for over 400yards four times in 84 this is one of five records he broke that year. Don Shulawas very impressed with what he was seeing from his young start. He also brokethe record for most td's(48) in a season. The Dolphins had a record of 14-2. Hehad the record for passing yards(5,084) and completions(362). He lead his teamto the Super Bowl XIX where they would face the NFC champs the San Fransico49ers. Who had a quarter you might know as Joe Montana. Even though his teamlost he showed what a good quarterback he was. Marino was named player of theyear in just his second season of play.Ten days after his Super Bowl loss he got married to his home town sweat heartClaire Veazey. But he had some tough seasons to come. He did not return to theplayoffs again in tell 1990. Dan Marino was a great quarterback but he never gotwhat he wanted and that was a ring. In 84 he got as close as a player could get.He would never get that close again. For his great career he had no ring but thestats of a true champ.4,453 completions out of 7,452 attempts 59.9% 55,416 yrds 385 tds 220intsNow Dan Marino works for the HBO NFL sports show, where he calls it as he seesit. He will be in the hall of fame in no time. He is a great quarterback that iswhy I respect him and he is my favorite QB of all time. It is just too bad hedid not get a ring....
