Was a completely different game back then. When Marino threw for 37 TDs that was pretty amazing. Only BYU QBs were putting up numbers like that and it's because they were throwing all over the place. Back then it was still a run first sport.

Plus you have to remember that Pittsburgh was never a good program. In fact they had traditionally been pretty bad with a few good years sprinkled in here or there. Then they got Johnny Majors (of Tennessee fame) who led them to a title. Then Marino showed up and made them consistently great. They havent reached those levels since he left.

*** one other thing... I think NFL teams respected the big armed gunslinger more back then than they do now. Look at Bradshaw. Lots of INTs and small completion percentage. Joe Namath would throw a ton of picks. It was more acceptable. Once Bill Walsh came in, prioritized comp%, and no turnovers, and showed how good you could be, opinions changed. For fun go pull up Joe Montana's college stats. Best QB of all time? Couldnt predict that based on his Irish stats. Different game back then.
