who are the best 10 dolphins on offence and defence ever?

[Danny]

When I made the list it was hard to see the players that didn't make my top 10 on offence and defence. Of course we've had more great players on offence than on defence but it was hard either way. I'm sure most of us will agree on the top 6 or 7 but it gets hard after.Anyway, since is the offseason lets see how everyone's list compare. All opinions welcome.

ofence,
Marino
Zonck
Warfield
Stevenson
Langer
Little
Griese
Clayton
Duper
Ricky

I wasn't sure about Ricky cos he's only play 1 year but he's so good. The top players I left out are Kuechenburg,Jackson,Moore,Webb,Nathan,OJ Mcdufie.

Defence
Stanfill
Ven Herder
Buonacounti
Boumhower
Duhe
Offerdahl
Scott
Taylor
Thomas
Surtain

Players that didn't make it,Cox,Madison,Cross,Fernandez(it was hard to leave him out)Bowens,Foley,Betters.

I'm sure there're others that might have sliped my mind.Anyway, fire away guys. I think is always good to remember the great players that have played for us over the years.

Ozzy rules!!

[FinsGoToGuy]

You have to put Madison before Surtain even tough Surtain is the better player right now. Maybe in a few more years Surtain will pass him...

 

[Jaj]

They are our two best CBs ever if you ask me. They should both be there.

 

[fin-atic]

Okay here we go:

Offense:

1. Marino
2. Dwight Stevenson
3. Larry Little
4. Paul Warfield
5. Larry Csonka
6. Mark Clayton
7. Mark Duper
8. Jim Langer
9. Ricky Williams
10. Bob Keuchenburg

Defense:

1. Zach Thomas
2. Nick Bouniconnti
3. Dick Anderson
4. Jason Taylor
5. Sam Madison
6. Surtain
7. Den Herder
8. Duhe
9. John Offerdahl
10. Manny Fernandez

By the way.
Honroable Mention goes to:

Offense:

1. Mercury Morris
2. Tony Nathan
3. Irving Fryar
4. Nat Moore
5. Jim Jensen

Defense:

1. Tim Foley
2. Hugh Green
3. Doug Betters
4. Blackwood Brothers
5. Troy Vincent

This is a great thread. Makes you really think back on the Fins over the years.

 

[Danny]

I like your list but hard to leave HOF QB Bob Griese out. Kuechenburg is one of my top 5 favorite dolphins and it was hard to leave him out for me. I was trying to include someone from each decade and that's why I have Stanfill in there.

Ozzy rules!!

 

[fin-atic]

I could substitute Griese for Kuechenburg. That would be hard to argue. Griese does at least deserve to make the honorable mention list, Or Kooch does whichever you don;t place in the top 10.

 

[DENVERDOLFAN]

Offense

1. Marino (future HOF, league MVP)
2. Csonka (HOF, SB MVP)
3. Little (HOF)
4. Warfield (HOF)
5. Stephenson (HOF)
6. Griese (HOF)
7. Langer (HOF)
8. Keuchenberg (ROF)
9. Moore (ROF)
10. Clayton/Duper (ROF)

Defense

1. Buoniconti (HOF)
2. Anderson (most underrated)
3. Thomas (most productive)
4. Fernandez (real SB MVP)
5. Offerdahl (second most productive)
6. Stanfill/Taylor (career sacks, future career sacks)
7. Baumhower (second most underrated)
8. Scott (SB MVP)
9. Betters (NFL DEF POY)
10. Madison/Surtain

This is very hard to narrow down.

 

[Danny]

I agree that is hard to come up with just 10 names on each list. For every guy I picked there were 5 that I could have put up there.

Ozzy rules!!
