Dolphins Pick Marino

[aka]

This video from the 1983 NFL draft is just gold on so many levels. I stumbled upon it and had to share.

Dr. Z dissing the pick...but, Marino threw an assload of INTs.

Forgot how primitive ESPN was back in those days.
Good stuff

Primitive and yet, better.

I think I remember watching that in my freshman college dorm room. Man, we really got into ESPN back then, and MTV.

You see those Pitt highlights? My God, that release is so quick it's a blur. Quickest release ever.

 

[Circle City Gator]

You're right, Ox, he had an incredible release, and that was the key to his success.

Those studio guys sound like fools now. Not their fault, Marino was just ahead of his time. Shula on the other hand, he knew what he had.

All this comes as a complete shock.

He did throw some int's but in his defense he was stretching the field vertically back in the day before it became popular to dink and dunk. He took lots of shots downfield.

Weren't Marino and Elway in that same draft?

Weren't Marino and Elway in that same draft?

Yep, along with Jim Kelly, Todd Blackledge, Tony Eason, and Ken O'Brien. All 6 were taken in the first round. Eric Dickerson and Darrell Green were also in that class.
