I’ve read this Defense was the best ever of all the Jets history. Family says if Jets drafted Dan Marino Jets would have won a Super Bowl maybe two times.
The reason that I don't agree with this is because the Dolphins were a superbowl team, leading until the Redskins scored 2 late touchdowns. And 3 1/2 months later drafted Marino and Marino never put them over the top. I think Darrell Green would've taken them to the superbowl and O'Brien would've been available in round 2.I’ve read this Defense was the best ever of all the Jets history.

I'll go even further on this. A lot of people blame Gastineau for the OT loss in Cleveland. And yes his penalty sucked. But if we had Green at CB1 instead of Russell Carter, the outcome would've been different.The reason that I don't agree with this is because the Dolphins were a superbowl team, leading until the Redskins scored 2 late touchdowns.
