I voted 2008. Was tremendous to see us perform after the horrific '07 season and was good to feel good about Dolphins football again. Also, I actually enjoyed watching the Wildcat offense as it was implemented, though I know a lot of fans that did not feel the same way.
 
Taking the '00 team that won our last playoff game. Smith had over 1,100 yds that year if I remember. We won the playoff game vs Colts. Won't mention how bad he/offense was the next wk vs Oak.
 
I think 2000 was our best team since Marino.

QBJay Fiedler29515204 for 357, 2,402 yards, 14 td, 14 int, & 54 rushes for 267 yards and 1 td

This team is the only team that has won a playoff game since Marino. Overtime versus the Colts 23-17 on Lamar Smith super run. Also we were the #3 Seed that year.

When we had stellar WR Oronde Gadsden #86
 
There’s no way the 2008 team was better than 2002. Better QB but that’s it. Maybe it’s a more fondly remembered team, a team that accomplished more, but those early 2000 teams had the talent to compete at higher levels (though they failed at it). The teams after 2003 haven’t. Even after almost 20 years, the team isn’t as talented as those 2000-2003 teams. Those teams had one HOfer, one potential HOFer, many all pros, one version of that team even had prime Ricky. Yeah, they monumentally underachieved, but they’d destroy the teams that have come after.
 
2016 miami dolphins was stacked with talent.

So sad we let those years go wasted with how much talent we had.

I thought Webb was gone by 2000. Wow I’m losing it. That’s the team I voted for. We won a playoff game and look at the run game put up by Smith.

Know what's a trip Royal, we ran a double zone blocking scheme. When you can block as a pass blocker and run blocker doing both the results friggin' amazing! :cheers:
 
Pennington playoff team or the team in my dreams that either drafted brees over fletcher or sabans team with brees on it
 
I loved the 2000 team, even though I was still down at having lost Marino (not that he shouldn’t have retired, he was done). They had a decent year and accomplished something JJ never did: a division title. They came close to getting that elusive 12th regular season win, but ultimately lost 5 (they would have gotten that 12th win had they not choked in NY on Monday night). And the wildcard playoff game that year was the last time a Miami team was even competitive in the postseason.
 
WOW!

We should all bow heads in shame. This thread basically just illustrates that we've sucked since Marino.

Can you imagine having a hissy fit over which team is better, the Dolphins of '00, '08, '16 or other? It's like asking who's your favorite Backstreet Boy.
 
2002.

First year with Ricky and if not for 2 brutal losses at the end of the year Phins might've gotten the #1 seed on the AFC side. They beat the Raiders late in the year when they were the eventual AFC reps for the Super Bowl. I remember Cris Carter dropping a pass in Vikings game and then Pats scoring a bunch of points in the last 3 minutes of game to cause the Phins to lose division crown to Jets in a tiebreaker

Bucs would've destroyed the Phins and Fiedler in the Bowl though
