Agreed. He was on a HOF trajectory until the injuries. He was truly great.
Who's the most overrated player in Dolphins history?
- Thread starter superphin
- Start date
No - he had the fastest first step in football so it only looked like he was false starting. He gave up fewer sacks in 3-4 years than some guys give up in 3-4 games. He was a bull dozer in the run game. HOF easily if he did not get injured. For context Laremy Tunsil still has not developed into half the player Jake Long was Pre injury.
Thanks for setting the record straight on the Magic Man - I thought he held out but you’re right he got injured and Favre took over.
His 2015 season was incredible - best S in football by every meaningful statistic. He was an absolute monster that year.
I don’t know what better describes his one year here - overrrated or overweight / disappointing. He had come off of back to back pro bowl seasons w Pitt. Good player but didn’t really thrive here.
'95 was such a disappointing year. 9-7 and lost to Buffalo again in the playoffs. After spending a crap load in free agency. Was a good team... on paper.

Adewale Ogunleye. Got paid for playing across from Jason Taylor.

Chris Chambers suggested as the most overrated player is ..... well, beyond laughable.
Even if someone truly believes he was overrated, to then suggest he’s the most overrated out of the 1500+ players that have donned the aqua, orange and white? Crazy talk. It’s not even close.
Dude had 2 double digit TD reception seasons in only 6 1/3 seasons in MIA despite playing in a run oriented offense with average at best QB’s.
Guess how many other Dolphins WR’s have managed double digit TD reception seasons the past 28 years? ONE.
And the franchise only has 14 instances of double digit receiving TD’s in it’s 54 season history. Chambers has 2 of them. Same as Paul Warfield. Same as Mark Duper. Same as Nat Moore.
But sure, he’s the most overrated.
None of the above qualifies Chambers for the ring of honor, but it surely disqualifies him from any “most overrated in history” category.

I liked Brown but will never forgive Nick Satan from drafting him over Aaron Rodgers because — well, he was so familiar with him having coached against him in the SEC.
Certainly wasn’t RB’s fault but, for me, easily among the worst draft day decisions in MIA history.
Funny thread brought back some memories how about Daryl Gardner. He never was the beast he was supposed to be. TimBo was the monster on that front.

He did get burned but he also created turnovers, and on that team they needed the ball as many times as they could get it. I remember a couple of games where he single handedly turned the tide. Granted, we do tend to overrate the spectacular play and underrate consistency.

Damn guy cost us a 17-0 victory to go along with our 17-0 season | https://www.bing.com/search?q=NFL+1972+Washington+Redskins+Schedule&FORM=S00035 |
Not sure about overrated but they sure did suck!
Didn’t he do well on Chicago too though? My point being he had Good sack totals here and then I think he was effective on the Bears as well meaning he likely was pretty good in his own right. I don’t recall fans thinking he was JT but just liking him - I could be wrong.
