Interesting What-If on ESPN

Interesting what if, but consider how Marino would have handled the spotlight of the NY media , and the overall pressure of being a NY QB. You can only count the really successful NY qb's on one hand(Namath,Simms). So would the success he ha in a laid back football market like Miami been the same as in NY, or would he have folded under pressure?

I think he would have been just as succesful in NY as he was in Miami, and also would have been marketing more products than Isotoner Gloves, and been in more movies than just Ace Ventura.

Something else to consider- What if the St.Louis Cardinals had drafted and paid Namath all the money he was looking for? Would Namath's career been as successful in St.Louis as it was in NY, would he even be a hall of famer???
