THE OG CANEPHINS
formally known as CANEPHINS
Pro Bowl is a nice achievement but it really isn't a measuring stick. Especially when you factor in alternates. This QB made the Pro Bowl after the Super Bowl qb was removed and 2 others backed out of the game as the 3rd alternate...blah blah blah.Drafting has been this organization’s demise for over 20 years. Here are our offensive allstars for the past 20 years.
1- Ricky Williams ( from a trade, first team all-pro)
2- Jarvis Landry ( pro bowl alternate, draft)
3- Jake Long ( draft , first team all-pro)
4- Mike pouncey ( draft, pro bowl alternate)
5- Ronnie Brown ( pro bowl alternate, draft)
6- Richie incognito ( free agent, alternate)
7-Brandon Marshall ( free agent, alternate)
8-Chris chambers( draft, alternate)
These are the players in the past 20 years on offense that made a pro bowl as a dolphins either as a starter or alternate on offense. Take a look how many were drafted by us. Our front office ability to evaluate talent is way below average. This needs to improve if we ever want to be a top team.
The real measuring stick is All Pro selections. Until Sanders making it this year, we haven't had a 1st team All Pro selection on offense since Jake Long in 2010. Before then it was Ricky Williams in 2002 and it was Richmond Webb in 1994 before that. Granted that Sanders is special teams but he is the closest to offense we have had make the team in over a decade.
