Are you asserting that:
1) Marino called his own plays?
and
2) He was more worried about playing from behind to inflate his numbers than winning?
Maybe I'm confused on what you are saying here, but I think you'll have a hell of a time doing anything to substanciate either of those claims. I have never heard anyone argue before that better production somehow was counter-productive to winning.
