SalvadorsDeli Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Alzheimers is just awful. Also, never forget that AJ Smith did Marty dirty. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Such a tremendous shame when the mind goes, has to be an absolutely awful experience. Hope he's at peace soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 My favorite Chargers HC. Guy lead teams that still to this day we haven't seen as good. It's sad to see it go this way but at least he going to be with his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I always liked Marty. He was that guy that kept getting back up no matter how many times Elway crushed him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 His coaching tree might not have been huge, but it had Bill Cowher on it. He was also a pro bowl player on the last Bills Champion in 1965. He had a 6 year playing career in the AFL/AFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFM18 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Sad news. All the best to Marty and his family during this difficult time. A true NFL great. Edited February 3, 2021 by PFM18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he's at peace soon. Strange to say, but I'm hoping in the future, at least in the USA, more "death with dignity" laws will become available. Don't think Alzheimer's qualifies though, at least in California under the law. Personally I'd rather just go prematurely. Wouldn't want myself in that state being the last image for my family. Reminds me of that Star Trek TNG episode. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Oh man, this is horrible. Marty had passion you couldn't fake, but was also a true teacher and leader of men out there. It's a shame people focus on what he didn't accomplish. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramxel Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 May he live in peace and quiet! Prayers go out to the family, who always struggle in these situations, to adapt to a new reality. Always a challenging condition for those closest to the person suffering from Alzheimer, even more than the person himself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 He turned around every team he went to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I ALWAYS rooted for Marty and so wish that he could have gotten over that hump in San Diego. That guy was absolutely fantastic at building a team, and IMO, a victim of timing and circumstances. #MartyBall #PowerO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Marty Ball with the Browns was what really got the AFC Central more difficult in the 80's. Too bad he never got to the SB instead of the broncos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
