IMHO, it is something like this:
1. Dan Marino (GOAT)
2. Larry Csonka (yeah, he's the guy who broke Jim Brown's records at Syracuse and then led the Dolphins to the only NFL Undefeated Season)
3. Dwight Stephenson (of the TWO Dolphin Centers in the HoF, he's the best)
4. Jason Taylor (lots of good players can make a case for this one, but I'm going with Jason Taylor, fantastic pass rusher and inexplicably a very good run defender despite being constantly undersized. Did whatever it took to play an incredible number of games per season, and really gave his all for the Dolphins until Parcells didn't want him anymore)
5. Paul Warfield (Lots of good players here, but I'm going with our greatest ever WR, and if he played today he would be a perennial All-Pro, but his legend is only muffled by the fact that the rules favored running back then. Singular talent).
Honorable Mention: Too many to truly list, but here are some: Larry Little, Bill Standfill, Zach Thomas, Bob Griese, Nick Buonticonti, Manny Fernandez, Richard "D..k" Anderson, Bob Baumhower, Ed Newman, Jim Langer, and of the recent Dolphins, Ndomakong Suh and Cam Wake. We have been a fortunate franchise over the years ... just not so much lately.
