Dolphin Record Setters

[burger13]

Below are all of the Miami Dolphin (Individual) Records which were set during the 2005 Season. Well, most aren’t “records†but rank among the best performances in Dolphins' history……….The official Media Guide includes all of these records at least to as many rankings as I’ve included (if I included Chambers with the 7th most rec yds in a season, the media guide shows at least the top-7). The below accomplishments will be next years’ edition.

I am most impressed with Chris Chambers’ numbers all-around. He really stepped up a notch in Dolphin history, first with his game against the Bills…..but also with his season stats, which rank among the best ever……but even more impressive to me, is that he is the only Dolphin WR ever to record 1,000 receiving yards without Dan Marino at quarterback.

Huh. I didn't know all that. Interesting, thanks.

 

[phinMikeDC]

That was good info....who'd have thought gus would have a record that was positive.

 

[WISfinfan13]

I like the stat that it is the only 1000 yard reciever without Marino at the helms.

 

[Mainge]

Nice info. Thanks.

 

[IowaDolfan]

Great list. Yeah, I agree about Gus too. Would've never have thought he'd have a positive Miami passing record either.

Great Stats. If Chambers stays with the dolphins his whole career he will be in the top 3 of many many many dolphin receiving records

thought some of the "day-shift" might find some of this interesting.
