Also don't forget that the Dolphins brought in Brees for a workout and interview but decided instead to trade for Daunte Culpepper. Brees then signed with his second option, the Saints. That decision was a really big turning point for both franchises.

That wasn't the first time Miami passed Brees over either. After Dan Marino retired in 1999 the Dolphins went with career backup Jay Fiedler as their QB in 2000, and he had a 14 TD/14 INT season. Miami had a chance to draft Brees the following April but instead went with DB Jamar Fletcher with the 26th overall pick.

He only needs 1457 yards to get the reg season passing yardage record.

Interesting coincidence.

I never would have guessed that Fran Tarkenton would be No. 4 all time in TD passes.

I'd say Brady has a very good shot at getting above Marino.
