2 QBs who were ahead of their time. Including the offensive schemes they played with were ahead of it's times.

[@raymondsmith2040]

Don Coriel was the father of the modern Air Raid offense. He and Bill Walsh ushered the beginning of the modern era of football.

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Fouts was a product of Don Coryell basically getting more and more pass happy with time. I think Jim Hart would’ve put up numbers if Coryell wasn’t so relatively conservative in St. Louis. Marino was the offense for Miami.

[@MichaelWoods-is7xf]

Nah, this is basically the beginning of the Anti Defense league Era. This is just 6 years after The Mel Blount Rule. No contact after 5 yards rule.

[@Tdull-tv1ds]

I’m glad Don Coryell got inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. The passing offense we see in today’s NFL was thanks in part to Coach Coryell who introduced a lot of unique ideas such as using the tight end position in the passing game and using a simple number play system to signify route combinations. Also despite Coryell not winning any championships himself there have been teams after his coaching reign that have won with his offensive system like the 90’s Cowboys and the 99 Greatest Show on Turf Rams. I know many will say that those teams had stellar defenses as well compared to the 80’s Chargers whose defenses were terrible to say the least but can you really tell the story of football without mentioning Don Coryell? In my opinion, you can’t because of the modern offenses we see today.

[@edwardoutlawjr8154]

Washington won their Super Bowls, running that same offense as well. You are correct that today's passing offenses owe a lot to Coryell.

The 84 Dolphins probably win the Super Bowl any other year in the 80s with the way Dan Marion was playing. Unfortunately they ran into the 84 49ers who were the most complete and probably most underrated great team in NFL history.

[@ricardoollivierre]

No. I don’t think they beat the 86 giants or the 89 49ers

[@charlesdunn442]

@@ricardoollivierre it’s a fun debate to have. I think the niners secondary was better in 1984 than the giants secondary in 1986. The giants had a better front seven. But Marino was good at avoiding pressure in the 80s and has a lightning release. It would be an interesting game.

[@lzv6990]

They’d have a better chance in this era. Finesse teams like Miami had a tough time in that era.

[@RichV20]

The 1985 Dolphins were the only team to beat the Super Bowl Shuffle 15-1 Bears in 1985. If Dolphins didnt lose to the Patriots, they might have been the one SB they could've won. They cracked the 46 Defense.

@@ricardoollivierre84 SF 18-1, entire secondary all-pro. Legit argument for greatest team ever. 86 Giants nowhere close to greatest team, very good however

[@astrostar49]

Thanks for profiling. Maybe the best game of 1984. Chargers were a below .500 squad, but even with their putrid defense, they could outscore any opponent for a win. The perfect prescription for handing the Dolphins their first L.

I have this game in my personal collection and it's an AWESOME ballgame. There's a Charger TD drive in this game that is the EPITOME of what Air Coryell was. IMO this game, the game in '82 against San Fran and the Epic in Miami are the three most entertaining Air Coryell games out there.

The defense allowed under 300 points. San Diego was typically going to score no matter who they played. The game against the Raiders wasn’t even that big a deal because they were the defending champs. Ultimately they just lost to a juggernaut in that ‘84 49ers team. Forever the most overlooked great team in league history.

[@daveatkins3796]

@@24hockeydad82 Not saying that they’re the same thing, both offenses have transformed the league into what you see today. While the West Coast was more of a short range, high percentage offense with sprinkles of a run game, Air Coryell was lighting up the field with astronomical numbers, even though the percentages are lower than the West Coast. It’s like Tecmo Bowl nowadays, it’s now pass first, and the running game is almost an afterthought.

Funny that when he was drafted, they had the #1 defense in the NFL. In '84, #7 defense. In '85, #12. In '86, bottom falls out, #26 ranked defense. Only 1990 did Marino in his prime have a top 10 defense at #4. By the time 1998 came, Jimmy Johnson got them back to #1 ranked defense, but Marino was average at best during that time. Couple of glimpses of his prime but nothing for a whole season. Oh well, would've, could've & should've.
