Truuuuuuu.

Still would've lost in the playoffs.

Would take that bet with stipulation that he won't get camera-phoned doing blow or text genitals.

I'll take the under, but not by much
Posted on 2/26/15 at 8:03 pm to Bench McElroy
Probably not, but I wouldn't doubt he would throw for over 5,000.

He was the best pure passer I ever saw.

I wouldn't bet the house on it considering it would require him to average 125 yds per game more than his career average.

Okay Dan.

Marino can have his 6,000 yard regular season.
Super bowl loss to NFC champ SF is what people remember.
All 4 SF DBs were all pro. SF defense was best vs scoring in the NFL.

I don't doubt he would have. Marino

I love Marino and think he would've been great in today's game.
But if he threw for 6000 yards, Neil Lomax would've thrown for 5600 yards... and I can't accept that.

No Dan, no you wouldn't have

He was a whiny bitch who kinda sprayed the ball around. Fairly certain he had a sub .60 completion percentage for his career. Nice release though.

I saw Marino in the Jacksonville airport a few hours ago... Looks like he could still sling it.

His best season in 1984 was 5084 yards on 564 attempts, completion rate on 64.2 %, yards per completion was 14.0
Transfer that to 2014 when 11 teams had over 600 attempts passing, 2 teams over 650. It could be realistic that Marino would have 650 attempts in a modern offense. Assuming the same completion rate, and yards per completion, he would have had 5893 yards in his best season.
It would have been very hard to hit 6000, but he could have had the most yards in a season. The record owned by Manning is 393 more yards than Marino's 1984 season but Manning had 90 more attempts.
