Lol kill me all you want but that's just my 2 cents.... Marino was an all time great, I agree... and when most people think Miami they think Dan Marino... but dang I grew up idolizing these 2... they just hold a closer place in my heart I guess lol
PZ, I know what you're saying. Let me just throw this out there:
Dan Marino: 9× Pro Bowl selection (1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995) 3× First-team All-Pro selection (1984, 1985, 1986) 5× Second-team All-Pro selection (1983, 1988, 1992, 1994, 1995) National College QB of the year runner up (1981) NFL MVP (1984) PFWA MVP (1984) NEA MVP (1984) NFL Offensive Player of the Year (1984) UPI AFL-AFC Player of the Year (1984) UPI AFL-AFC Player of the Year (1994) Walter Payton Man of the Year (1998) NFL Comeback Player of the Year (1994) Miami Dolphins #13 Retired Holds 31 Miami Dolphins records Holds Numerous NFL records Passed up offer from Super Bowl contender Minnesota to retire as a Dolphin.
Marino wasn't first team all pro from 1986 on, I find that a little amazing. I know that those years go right into the Elway and Montana Super Bowl years but still. Not even once more after 1986...wow!

Someone like me has followed the Fins since 1970 and I've seen all the players. So, when I think of the Dolphins, I think of Marino and Csonka. I'd hate to see anyone wear either of those two numbers. I think only #13 is retired, and no one is passing out #39.
Man Dave , I think of Manny Fernandez. I guess we are old.

I'm the same way,so don't think we are old just more seasoned that's all...lol and as for as the #39 goe's just think they don't five it out to a player as respect for Him. Look we all have diff fav players out there,some like the JT and Zack attack,while some of us rember the killer B's,or the Marks brothers. Or 1 of my fav is F.Edmonds the all pro (te) we had before K.Jackson. So diff #'s means diff things to some ppl. But come on we all should know that nobody and I mean nobody should wear #13 or #39.
Unless Miami plans on retiring that number #54 (which I doubt) its gonna have to be used at some point. Might as well bite the bullet and just pass it out. Longer ya wait, more of a story (or non-story) it becomes
Yes, but you don't give the No. to a late-round rookie coming in trying to earn a spot on the team. You give it to an established player or high draft choice. There is a reason he's not wearing it today.
It's a requirement of Iowa linebackers. They don't run any sort of nickel package and stick with a 4-3 essentially the entire game. Norm Parker believes his LB's can cover any sort of spread...unfortunately, most years we get burnt when playing OSU and Northwestern.
