Bob Kuechenberg played a Super Bowl with a fractured forearm. He had an alloy rod in his forearm, which he later used to stir his guests' drinks. Imagine surprise when they asked where rod came from. #Dolphins @NDFootball https://t.co/n8cnLoPnNp

Said it many times before (you could look it up) and I'll say it again: Bob Kuechenberg should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Finalist several times but never voted in.
— Hal Habib (@gunnerhal) January 13, 2019

Kuechenberg played 196 games for Miami, starting 176, from 1970-83, and of course was a key member of the Dolphins' two Super Bowl-winning teams. Many on those teams have long said he deserved to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Former Dolphins offensive lineman Bob Kuechenberg, who played in six Pro Bowls and was a Hall of Fame Finalist nine times passed away last nite at age 71. Condolences.

God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)

He played before my time, but I appreciate what a great player that he was, and his important contributions to the great teams of the past. 71 is young to go.

Remember him well, great player that deserves the HOF. I loved his response to Kellen Winslow needing carried off the field at the Orange Bowl. A sarcastic dismissive laugh.
