Coming from a 39yr old..who has been a dolphan fan since I could read the paper...Stanfill..Betters..Vern Den Herder..I would put Cross up in the top 5..along with JT...but for years...Betters was just an awesome player for us.

Martel said:Yeah but Cross had pizazz. Can't forget about that.

Cross's numbers do not come close
Not to mention that he was the starter on three Super Bowl teams
Ohiophinphan said:I was away from my computer all day yesterday so I didn't get in on this one until now but Bill Stanfill was unquestionably the best DE we ever had. He should be in the Hall. JT is next by a nose and Betters right after that. Behind those three the field drops off from awesome to merely very, very good. Cross, Den Herder, A J Duhe, and Armstrong fit into that category. Coleman became an All-Pro after he left us so I would put him one step further down the list.
Keep in mind this comes from an old guy who actually saw all of them.
You`re 24, how many games did you watch of Stanfill? I`m 39, and I barely remember those SB years. Stanfill and DenHerder went to 3 straight SBs, and won 2...that puts `em ahead of Jeff Cross in my book!dominizzo said:I agree but i think Cross was more impressive to watch Cross had pizzazz
dominizzo said:i have very dolphin game taped and i like seeing the 1988 1995 games Cross is just outstanding
