Miami had always been a grind and D team before Marino - you accentuate my point of how great a quarteback Marino was to pass so successfully early on with a team that was not built to his talents...

Ah, you meant before Marino. Ok. Now I am not so lost

There was a brief window in Marino's career where he was on air and stated he was considering leaving Miami to come to New Orleans and would have been paired with that defense; and he had the clout to neutralize Mora's overdone conservatism...

I think the depression for the disappointment in that not happening stayed with me until 13 July 1999 13:35 hours when my daughter was born at Baptist in New Orleans...

Had it happened, the Saints team would have easily had two-three SB trophies because that defense was that damn good...

Well that's only because Manning had a bounty on his head. I'm sure he would've played better if our bloodthirsty defense wasn't trying to rip his guts out for lunch.

Brees worth? It's a fair question...

Look at what happened in Indy...and how did that work out for 'em?
