  I'm gonna come back to the je just I want to ask you about Zach
• 0:02
  Wilson. How you brought Dan Marino childhood, idle of mind, love Da
• 0:05
  Marino growing up? How good we don't ever know this? How good could
• 0:08
  he be if he was in his prime today in this football the way though,
• 0:13
  I think he would have been good in any era. I mean,
• 0:16
  you know him following him and just his release was so quick for a guy
• 0:21
  that just slided and shifted in the pocket. His set up was really good,
• 0:26
  his dropback was really good. He is, though, the prototypical pocket
• 0:31
  paster. No, he'd be great. No, it wouldn't be like Mahomes
• 0:34
  running around and doing things. But man, he could be absolutely outstanding.
• 0:40
  He could play great today, He could play great in any era. Boy,
• 0:44
  he could throw it and he could go deep and can throw it accurately
• 0:49
  deep, and uh yeah, it's unfortunate that he didn't. And this is
• 0:53
  the perfect example of nobody was better. I mean, this guy was great.
• 0:58
  He will not be considered amongst the l Ways and the Montanas even though
• 1:02
  he was every bit as good, because he didn't have the titles. And
• 1:04
  that's the true test of look you better have a good team around, and
• 1:10
  they never quite were. And is the even the great Don Shulz, who
• 1:12
  had done such a great job in different eras he adjusted to Marino and throwing
• 1:18
  the football when he grew up, you know, coaching the Bob greaseis and
• 1:23
  throwing you know, throwing it maybe fifteen times a game. Now he's throwing
• 1:27
  it forty times a game. But they couldn't get over the hump because the
• 1:32
  defense wasn't good enough and they usually couldn't run the football well enough.
