    Dan Marino is both proud and a bit surprised that his single-season passing yardage record has stood the formidable tests of time and rules changes.

    He doesn't expect it to last much longer.

    The former Miami Dolphins QB set the record of 5,084 yards in 1984, but if the league's quarterbacks continue at their current pace this season, New England's Tom Brady, New Orleans' Drew Brees, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, Dallas' Tony Romo and Carolina rookie Cam Newton all would surpass his total, and San Diego's Philip Rivers and Detroit's Matthew Stafford would be knocking on the door.

    One QB having a great season would be understandable. But after 27 years, why the sudden outburst?
